Good Morning Saplings!

I just wanted to express that everyone, both children and parents/carers, are doing an amazing job with the home school learning.

Plan for today’s home learning:

• Maths lesson
• A topic lesson
• GPS-spellings
• Reading activity
• PE

Maths lesson

For Maths today, we are going to be adding fractions with the same denominator. Please first go through the PowerPoint below. Then complete the worksheet found below on this page (Year 3 and 4 have separate ones).

Year 3 Maths Worksheet

Learning objective: to add fractions with the same denominator

Please do not worry about printing the worksheet, you can just write the answers on a piece of paper.

Year 4 Maths Worksheet

Learning objective: to add two or more fractions with the same denominator

Please do not worry about printing the worksheet, you can just write the answers on a piece of paper.

Topic Lesson

Learning objective: to locate information about the Iroquois tribe and organise into a fact file

Task

Following on from the topic lesson on Wednesday, we would like you to continue finding information about several areas of the Native American Iroquois tribe and organise these in to some subheadings such as farming, hunting, clothing etc. Below are some key facts and subheadings about the Iroquibe tribe you may like to use. You do not need to print these out.

If you have completed the research above, you may like to design a fact file, using either pencil and paper, or on the computer. You may like to use the information sheet below to help you which lists some of the features of a fact file. We would love to see any completed fact files uploaded via the saplings email address.

For anyone who has completed all of the above, please have a look at the additional activities found at the end of this page which are related to our Mental health awareness week.

GPS

L/O: to develop accurate spelling

Spelling test/quiz. Please could you ask a family member to test you and send in your results. Good luck! I have added the spelling list below if you would like to practice them before doing your test/quiz.

Reading Activity

Learning objective:  to use inference to analysis an image

For your reading task today, you have a picture and the aim of this is to use our imagination and think outside of the box.  Please can you answer these comprehension questions below.

1. Who/what are these things that are approaching?
2. Are the people right to be wary?
3. Do you think the new arrivals mean harm or do they come in peace?
4. How many of them do you think they are?
5. Where have they come from?
6. Who is the character telling the story?
7. How will people deal with this ‘threat’?
8. Who controls the airships?
