Hello, Mercury Class,

I hope you are all well!

Please see, below, our remote learning tasks for today.

English

Year 4/Year 3/Table 2

• We are working on our vocabulary, today! Look at https://www.storyberries.com/poems-for-kids-the-spider-by-jane-taylor/  and discuss with an adult what the poem is telling the child.  What does it tell us about the spider?
• Using a thesaurus or https://www.wordhippo.com/, to produce descriptive words about the spider. ‘Up level’ each word, to make them even better.
• Choose your 8 favourite words and display as the legs on a spider – similar what we did with Charlotte’s Web, back in March!

Mathematics

Today’s work:

Year 4:  Solve correspondence problems.

Year 3:  Describe and name 3-D shapes.

Table 2: Tell the time to the half hour; find the time half an hour later.

Please work through the activity document files – either by looking at the screen and writing the answers down or by printing off the sheets. Follow the instructions carefully and make sure you look through the sheets before you begin, so you can find the answers, extra support materials and the different levels of task - Mild (easier) and Hot (harder). There may also be activities to work with somebody else on. If there is a PowerPoint Presentation, then watch this first, listening to the teaching at the same time. All the answers are provided.
