Whole school ‘Quiz of the Week’
If you’re struggling to keep yourself entertained this week…why not have a go at our whole school quiz?
Half-term Home Learning
Because this week is half-term, we’re taking a break from the usual daily home learning tasks (just like we did at Easter). Instead, we’ve prepared a menu of home learning activities that you might want to dip into this week – these are optional only, but you might want to encourage your child to have a go at being a quiz master, doing some up-cycling, presenting a cookery masterclass or any of the other activities.
Whatever you decide to do, we hope you have a happy and healthy half-term.

Today’s learning will be all about VE day to celebrate the 75 years since the end of WWII.
There will be a two-minute silence at 11am today.
VE Day video and how the celebrations will be different this year.
What is VE day?
VE Day – or Victory in Europe Day, marks the day towards the end of World War Two (WW2) when fighting against Nazi Germany in Europe came to an end.
On 8 May 1945, Prime Minister Winston Churchill made an announcement on the radio at 3pm that the war in Europe had come to an end, following Germany’s surrender the day before.
Reading task
Read the PowerPoint to find out more about what happened on VE day and how World War II came to an end.
Maths task
Morse code – Can you crack these codes?
Optional tasks
1. Make a VE day poster full of the facts you have found out.
2. Create your own VE day flag or bunting version 1

Hello children.
Tomorrow is VE day. We have some activities planned for you tomorrow, and all your learning will be linked to the VE day celebrations in some way. You may have some ideas for celebrating this day at home already. Please let us know what you will be doing, or send your teacher a photo of what you did.
Keeping active: What is your super move of the day?
Here is your learning:
Maths Y3 and Y4
As tomorrow’s tasks will be slightly different due to the bank holiday, we’ll have our challenges day today instead. Here’s a link to another four problems from BBC Bitesize.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zd3q2sg
How many of them will you conquer? Answers are on the link too but suggested workings out will be posted tomorrow. Here are some things to remember when approaching each challenge. Given the content, Challenge 4 might be more accessible to Year 4 than Year 3.
Top Tips – Challenge 1:
Read the text carefully to avoid falling into traps. Think about what ‘half’ means and for the second part in particular, think about ‘half’ isn’t.
Top Tips – Challenge 2
Take time to understand the information that has been given. Bar modelling would help with this.
Top Tips – Challenge 3:
This is quite a long problem. Breaking it down into smaller chunks and showing your working will help you to avoid mistakes.
Top Tips – Challenge 4:
You are asked to find two ways but can you find all solutions? Think about how you might approach this systematically (in order). It’s useful to remember that 1000ml = 1l .

Good morning boys and girls!
There are a lot more video lessons this week – we hope you’re enjoying them.
Don’t forget to keep up with your daily times tables and individual reading. They are REALLY important and keep your brain in good shape.
What are you doing for your daily exercise?
Check out some street dance moves to keep you in shape (18 mins).
Happy learning!
Maths:
Y3 Maths:
Here’s a link to a task on adding two three-digit numbers. This is a really important skill to revisit every now and then because there are some traps that are easy to forget about. Have a go at all three activities in this link.
During the video, they use the terms ‘number column’ and ‘carry’. Throughout school, we refer to these as ‘column addition’ and ‘exchanges’. In the title of activity two, they use the word ‘regrouping’. Again, we opt for saying ‘exchanges’.
If you haven’t got a pack of playing cards for activity three, you could create what you need using some scrap paper.
