Thursday 22nd October - Work for children in self-isolation

Good morning!

I hope you are feeling well enough to try some home learning today.  Please send copies of any completed work in to the school office by email, so that I can see how you are getting on.  The office email address is: office@swanlanefirstschool.worcs.sch.uk - please make sure you write your name and class details in the email so that your work can find its way to me!

Literacy

In literacy today, we will be looking at some poetry.  Haiku is a form of Japanese poetry which is traditionally written over three lines, using 17 syllables.  There are usually five syllables in the first line, seven in the second, and five in the third.  We will be looking at a poem called 'Tree of Life' and exploring the language of the poetry.  I have put a copy of the poem, and supporting resources, in the 3V Home Learning Folder for you to have a look at.

Please also try to spend 30 minutes today reading a book of your choice.  If you feel up to it, please complete a review of your book - the template is in the folder.

Maths

Once again, we will be consolidating our work on column subtraction with exchanges.  You can watch a video from White Rose to help you understand the method.  Here is the link to yesterday's video, which you might want to watch again.  Once you are feeling confident, have a look at the next video here, which will build on your understanding.  I have put some questions in the 3V Home Learning folder for you to work through. 

Humanities

Following our discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun last week, we are going to be looking at the so-called 'Curse of Tutankhamun' to see whether might be any truth in the rumour that all those who were involved in disturbing the tomb were put under some sort of curse... Have a look through the slides in the Home Learning folder to find out more!

I hope you are soon able to come back to school - take care of yourselves and keep safe.
