Week Overview
WC: 18.1.2021
English
In English we are starting our two week topic on formal letter writing. This week our letters will link to our class book Cosmic (all chapters we have read so far are available on OneNote). To access each days English work on OneNote follow this process:
Child's name -> English -> Day of the week
Please encourage children to take their time as the work should be completed to the same high standards that they produce in class. This includes the use of basic skills across the curriculum- use of capital letters and full stops in all work for example!
Maths
In Maths this week Year 3 are working on Unit 5 and Year 4 are on Unit 6.
For each lesson there is a PowerPoint which often contains a video with information for the children, guidance on which pages need to be completed and two additional challenges for each lesson. Additionally, underneath the PowerPoints are links to documents which contain the answers for each lesson.
Both the information PowerPoints and Answers can be found on your child's OneNote account following the steps:
Child's name -> Maths -> Day of the Week
Finished all the Maths? Need a challenge?
Guided Reading
Guided Reading will be a combination of Reading Eggs and work linked to our class reading book Cosmic. All Guided Reading activities will be found on your Childs OneNote account. Please look at the timetable below to see which days you will need to be using Reading Eggs for and which days you will need to complete an activity on OneNote.
Class Reader
Our class reader this term is Cosmic by Frank Cottrell Boyce. Please listen to the daily YouTube videos as this book will link to our Guided Reading as well as our English activities. All the chapters we have read so far and the new up coming ones can be found our class OneNote page following the steps:
Class Reader - Cosmic -> WK 2.
Topic
Unfortunately there was a little bit of confusion over how long we had allocated for History due to how we transitioned back to school. This means that we should be now moving onto our second topic of Geography. However, I understand that some children may not have finished off their History as I had stated that it may take up to two weeks. You are welcome to continue with History at your leisure, however I will need to begin out new topic of Geography this week. We are deeply sorry for the miscommunication over the timing of our units.
The Geography PowerPoint can be found on your child's OneNote account following the steps:
Your child's name -> Topic -> Geography
History topic work can be found at the bottom of the page.
Keeping in touch through emails
I would like to thank all the parents and children who have been sending in pictures of their work to me this week, I have really enjoyed seeing what you have been doing at home. Going forward I have changed a few things about how we will keep in touch.
Maths answers:
I felt that going forward if would be easier for parents to have quicker access to the answers to the children's maths and have decided to create documents which you can access from OneNote, so that you no longer have to wait for me to respond through email. If you still have any questions about maths or just wish to let me now how your child is doing then please do send me an email as I would love to hear from you.
Things not working:
Unfortunately, due to being in class with the key worker children all day I am only able to respond to parent emails during breaks, lunch or other spare moments which I know might not be convenient for you. Please send URGENT requests or messages go through the front office (office@bisham.org) where Mrs Thompson will try to deal with what she can.If she is unable to resolve your issue herself she will let me know. We are hoping this system will allow for you to get answers and solutions quicker.
Thank you for your continued understanding and support!
