Frog Class (Year 3 & 4)
Class teacher: Mr Rushton
Welcome Back to the Spring Term in Frog Class.
PE will be on a Wednesday and a Thursday and as with last term children can come to school in their PE Kit.
A reminder that children who are at home and well enough should join us for remote learning wherever possible through MS Teams using their school based email address log in details. Where possible I will upload tasks to the class page of the website and all matched teaching slides, where the tasks do not lend themselves to home learning I will provide an alternative on usually on Purple Mash but occasionally from other sources. If you are not sure of these log in details then please contact me and I will help as soon as possible.
The Teams meetings will start at 9.15am each day unless stated differently allowing me time inschool to settle the children and send out tasks and invitations to any new additions to the remote learning. In the time between 8.45am and 9.15am children who are signed up to NESSY should work through these activities or alternatively Times Table Rockstars.

Welcome Back to the first full week back of the term and of 2022.
The Teams meetings for today will start at 09:30am this morning (we have assembly from 09:15am to 09:30am) and run through to lunchtime. It will be really important for children to join these today (assuming they are well enough) even if they are just listening in without the camera and microphone off.
For those children at home I would like them to use this time on TTRS / NESSY.
9:30am - 10.30am English
Today we will be planning our own short story using simply the words "I am the last." The last of what, who, and why will be up to the children.
There is a PPT link below that gives some guidance...
For the main task I have set as an assignment through Teams. If children acess the Forms task through MS Teams I will be able to leave them feedback.
If there are problems then the task is set out below but I may not be able to give children feedback in the same way.
10:50am - 11:50am Maths
Today we will focus on addition and subtraction skills. Joining LIVE will give access to the learning slides. But I will also set some task on Purple Mash later this morning.
11:50am - 12:15pm Guided Reading
If children can join online for this we will look at the next section of our Talisman story together. Alternatively children at home can spend their time reading (The next chapter of Dragon Cup on Purple Mash will be released tomorrow).

There is a task on Purple Mash for children to think about and work on based on their ambitions for when they grow older.
