Morning Starter
This morning, you are going to complete a 'back to school' sheet. If you cannot print it, then have a go at recreating it. We'd like you to think about how you're feeling about coming back and even though many of you are very excited, there may be some worry there too. These will not be uploaded to the website into the public gallery but your teachers would still love to see them so we'd appreciate them being uploaded in the normal way, just for your teachers to see 
Maths
Today you are going to use the White Rose Hub video to learn about making shapes. You can click here for your video and your worksheet is below. There is an answer sheet but for some questions there are many possibilities depending on the shapes you have drawn so there are not answers to every question.
Spelling
Here is a video to support your Spellings for this week.
Grammar
Today you are going to look at apostrophes for possession. Click here for your video, and the three challenges are below.
Geography
Today you will be completing the task linked to our last lesson - during our last Geography lesson, we investigated who the first North American settlers were; today you will write a diary as if you were one of those first settlers. The video explaining this task can be found here.
The video we have used previously giving background information about North America can be found here.

In the spirit of World Book Day tomorrow, you are going to write a book review. This could be a book you have read recently, or perhaps you would like to write about Charlie Small or Why the Whales Came? There are a couple of templates below that you can use or if you want to be really creative you could create your own. Make sure you have a look at the examples to ensure it is detailed. Try and pick a book that you thoroughly enjoyed, you never know, you might inspire someone else to read it and love it too!

WORLD BOOK DAY
Live World Book Day Assembly

Please join the meeting muted.
Creative Task
Today you are going to either make a stop motion animation or you can make a flick book. To create a Stop Motion Animation, you need a device such as a tablet or a phone so if you don't have one of these then all you need is paper and a pen to make a flipbook! There is a great free app available on both Android and Apple called Stop Motion Studio though some of you may have other software already that can help you make them. Mrs Mills has created a video which can be accessed here and there are some useful links below to support. It is important that you create a plan of what you are going to do so there is a storyboard planning sheet below too.
Stop Motion Studio
The video links from the PowerPoint are below:
Please upload your creations and we will create a gallery on our Home Learning pages
Science
We continue with our unit of classification, shifting away from classifying vertebrates that we investigated last week to classifying invertebrates this week. The video for this lesson can be found here.

In today's lesson we progress from the focus of the last few weeks of drawing faces, moving on to draw stick people for today's learning. This introduction to drawing the whole body does not necessarily mean you can't practise drawing faces. Watch the video here to think about what you can choose to draw today. The video mentioned can be found here.
