An Example Timetable!
Please find below an example timetable for you to use at home. I will edit it each week with the activities that I have set for the children. I would like to point out that this is not prescriptive it is an example, you know your children, you know what is best for your children if you feel they need to do things a different way around then do it your way :-) In school on a real day if I can see that the children need to have a break then that is what we do. We want you to enjoy this time with your children too!

English
Activity 1.
Live lesson - looking at our new book 'Jim and the Beanstalk' Make sure you have completed Monday's guided reading session first.
Activity 2. KLQ: How can summarising help identify the key parts?
Rewrite the story 'Jim and the beanstalk' in your own words. Remember to think of the main parts that we discussed yesterday. I will add some support sheets after Tuesday's lesson. Now this is important I want you to retell it in your own words not just copy it out. To retell the story you need to summarise the important events and details– those which must be explained for the story to make sense. This will include some information about the characters in order that their actions can be understood – e.g. we would explain their emotions. It would not however include speech as we can just explain the outcome of the conversations e.g. ‘The giant asked Jim to use a gold coin to purchase glasses for him.’ Now using the support resource below have a go at retelling the story. Think about the sequence from yesterday, using full sentences and using the correct phonics sounds.

Handwriting
This week we are looking at the one armed robot letters. You don't have your handwriting books but thats okay you need to imagine a line half way down. Parents might want to use a highlighter for the first few times to show them half way up. You do not need to print the sheet just write the letter in your books. Rewatch the video until you see how each letter is formed. The pencil does not leave the paper until the end. Remember to start each handwriting lesson with a fine motor activity like dough disco or threading pasta, then make sure you are sat correctly and holding your pencil correctly. Watch the video and then write it in your books. There are 3 videos for each session.

Activity 1
Please look through the power point below and talk through it. What types of animals can you identify? Can you draw a chart like the one below and list 3 animals to go in each section.

When you get to the section about matching babies to adults, stop and try and list as many different animals and their babies as you can. Then continue to look through.

Remember your capital letters and full stops.
Computing
KLQ: Should all personal information be shared?
Today I want you to think about being safe online. Whilst we are remote learning (working at home) we have lots of time online. I would like you to look through this powerpoint and think about what information is safe to give out and what isn't. I then want you to record yourself (or get someone to record you) explaining a which is safe and which are not safe and why. I look forward to seeing your videos.
