Good morning all and welcome back to a new half term. I hope that you had a lovely half term and enjoyed all of the glorious sunshine that we had. The girls enjoyed themselves and loved their birthday treats and didn't mind it was in lockdown in the end!

Over the last few days of the holidays I was locked out of my school emails so I will reply to them today (hopefully). I am looking forward to all of the Make Do and Mend writing and projects that I am going to find on there. I have been amazed by the ones that I have already seen and hope to get photographs on here to share with you as soon as I can.

Our curriculum letter will be uploaded to the website very soon but I can tell you that we are looking at the Human Body and the question is: What is beneath our skin?

I think about each and everyone of you each day and I look forward to hearing from you all as the term progresses.

Topic for the week (Optional):

Sometimes we can't tell how someone is feeling beneath their skin. Draw how you are feeling on the inside. This could be done through the use of colour, images, shapes, facial emotions and can be in the shape of your body, your shoulders upwards or a shape of your brain or just a random shape! It is up to you and your personal style. You might like to split your face and show how you feel on the inside and what you show on the outside - remember sometimes these are not the same emotion!

Discuss with your adult what you have drawn and why and then send me a copy. I would love to share your art with others on here.

Friday 22nd May

It is so nearly half term! Thank you for all of your hard work this term. I hope that you are proud of the effort that you have been putting in. I can certainly see the effort in work that has been handed in and I have been extremely impressed with the English writing and Topic work I have seen so far. If you haven't finished them, the hand in date is the 29th May so either get it out of the way so that you can have half term off or use half term to have a little catch up. Please remember that it is half term though so you do need a break!!

The first weekend is going to be super busy for me as we have finally reached the girl's birthday week. I am being a bit naughty this year though as I am combining their "celebrations" and the main present!

Over the half term, my laptop is having some work done on it and I am going to have a little break myself so replies to emails may be a bit slower!

Miss you all but speak to you soon,

Mrs Mayo

Hello all. I had another new experience yesterday when I had to go to the vets to pick up some things for Stanley (only to make sure he doesn't get fleas).. They were very well organised. I phoned before hand and then when I got there they came out to the car and passed it across. It made me think of all the campaigns that are happening at the moment and how some of them are so similar to those in WW2! It is funny to think that children will be writing about us in the future!

We will now be working towards an information text on WW2 Campaigns which I will ask you to send to me once you have finished it. We will be working on it bit by bit so keep each bit safe so you can use to write your final version.

First we will be looking at the introduction. For this paragraph you will need to include the following information:

Introduce what the government did

Why they were needed

Name some. Do not go in to detail about these as they will be what you will write about in your paragraphs

Research these elements, make notes and then write a paragraph as an introduction. You will have today, Thursday and Friday to do this

Tuesday 28th April

Morning all. I don't know about all of you but I can't believe that it is only Tuesday! All of yesterday I was convinced it was later in the week.

As well as E's home-schooling, I managed to clean the wood burner. I keep thinking about people saying they are tidying their houses as ours seems to be getting messier! I don't want everyone having immaculate houses apart from us when we can start going to see people again!

Watch the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrxZWNu72WI

Remind the children that when you go past half past you can also say minutes to the hour (analogue time)

Set a number of times for children to do on their clock. Can they say both analogue and digital time? How many minutes until it is the next hour?

Play the telling the time game, Year 3 - aim is to do the nearest five minutes and Year 4 you need to aim to the nearest minute. Again see if your child can tell you the analogue time.For now toy just need to focus on the 12 hour clock part.

Use a atlas or Google maps (https://www.google.co.uk/maps) to find out where countries who formed the Axis are (people we fought against) and where the countries who formed the Allies are(people that fought with us). You do not need to find all of the Allies on the list as there are a lot of them!

Label the countries and create a key. One colour for Axis and another for the Allies.

Challenge: Do you know any of the capital cities?

Looking at your map, why do you think it was called a World War?

3 minute dash

Watch the video https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/clips/zqkwmp3

Have a discussion that analogue clocks show the minutes past the hour when the minute hand is before the 6 and then you calculate the minutes to the hour when after the 6. The minutes you added on your clock yesterday will help this.

Look at digital time and say the hour is always first and then it is always the minutes past the hour.

Look at the PowerPoint to reinforce (It is to the nearest 5 minutes which is Year 3 - Year 4 you have to do to the nearest minute): Time to the nearest 5 minutes

Show your child some digital times and then they can display it on their clock
