Hello children!
We hope that you are all feeling happy and healthy today.
Thank you to everyone who has emailed their teacher so far this week. If you have any questions or problems to ask your teacher, then please let us know – we are here to help you! It might just be a quick email to say hello, or a photo of your learning.
The weather has cooled down a bit since the weekend and we’ve had some rain. Here are some spider-man inspired yoga (13 mins) exercises you can do inside your house.
If you like Ant and Dec, and David Walliams then you can watch them today on the NSPCC website at 9:30am (or on NSPCC facebook page). 
Here are your tasks for today:
Maths
Y3 – RIC : fractions
Times tables: At the beginning of the week, we asked you to focus on your 3x tables. Even if it’s just 5 minutes a day, the regular practice really helps you to remember your multiplication facts. How have you been getting on? Here are 40 questions. Challenge your speed – 3x tables 5 min challenge
Y4 – Strengthen your problem solving skills with these 2 ‘square’ problems:
Times tables: At the beginning of the week, we asked you to focus on your 12x tables. Even if it’s just 5 minutes a day, the regular practice really helps you to remember your multiplication facts.

Reading
Reading Book Club:
In class, we’d usually have a Love of Reading session each week where we read something that we love. Adults use the time to read with children.
Today, I’d like you to…
Get really comfy: wear some thick socks, a dressing gown or wooly jumper. Sit somewhere soft and relaxing.
Turn all electronic devices off: TVs, radios, computers, phones, tablets etc.
Spend some quality time reading with each other. Read aloud, take it in turns, put on voices for characters, re-read things to improve how you’re reading them. Talk about what you’re reading. Which are the best bits? Why? Does it remind you of other things you’ve read or watched? Do you know anything about parts of it from other knowledge that you have? What do you think of the characters? What will happen next? Why do you think that?
Topic DT – Design a room
Could you design and make a model room? What a fun activity!
Watch the clip of the designer making a mini version of a room. You could use an old box or cut up a cereal packet to make the shape of your room. It doesn’t have to be same measurements as the designer on the screen. Use what you have. You could decorate the model room using old paper, wall paper, magazines, paint or crayons – use what you have. You could make the furniture from items ready for recycling or even Lego bricks. Be creative!
Have fun and send a photo of your model to your teacher.
