Monday 11th January 2021

English (approx. 1.5 hours learning)

In today's lesson we are learning about modal verbs. What is a verb? Can you remember what verbs do in a sentence? Watch the video by clicking the link below. Make sure you pause the video when I say, to complete activities in your remote learning book. The challenges are attached below, with Challenge 3 the hardest. By the end of this lesson you will be able to explain what a modal verb is, identify modal verbs in a sentence, and write your own sentences using modal verbs.

 

Once you have completed your challenges, self-assess your learning using the answer sheet and complete your 20 minutes of daily reading and 10 minutes of spelling practice.

 

Timings:

Watch the video (15 minutes)

Modal verb activities (40-45 minutes)

Self-assessing (5-10 minutes)

Reading (20 minutes)

Spellings (10 minutes)

Maths (1.5 hours learning)

In Maths today we will be looking at multiplying and dividing whole numbers by 10, 100 and 1000. This is learning that we have looked at previously and we need to remember our place value whilst carrying out tasks. When multipling the whole number by 10, 100 or 1000 the answer will be larger so digits will move to the left in terms of place value. When dividing by 10, 100 or 1000 the answer will be smaller with the digits moving right in terms of place value.

RE (1 hours learning)

In RE this half term we will be looking at incarnation, more specifically thinking about the question Was Jesus the Messiah? We will be exploring what incarnation and messiah mean, looking at different prophecies from the Old and New Testaments and which ones match closely together.

PE (30 mins)

It is really important that you remain active throughout the lockdown period. You should be getting daily exercise and actively trying to look after your physical and mental health. At some point today please watch this PE video by Mr Richardson and enjoy completing the activity whilst being active and getting fresh air.
