This week we are holding Maths support sessions (for both Long Mynd and Hawkstone) focusing on times tables.

Children should know which individual times tables they are learning or need support with, however, if unsure, please just come along to the sessions you feel would benefit your child’s quick recall and fluency skills. See time table below:

Monday – 10:30 2s 5s 10s

Tuesday – 10:30 3 times table  11:00 4 times table

Wednesday- 10:30 6 times table  11:00 7 times table

Thursday – 10:30 8 times table  11:00 9 times table

Friday – 10:30 11 times table   11:00 12 times table

Remember, the curriculum suggests that by the end of Year 3, children should be fluent in the 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 10 times tables, and then by the end of Year 4 it’s those tables plus the 6, 7, 9, 11, 12. 

 

Year 3: 2s, 3s, 4s, 5s, 8s, 10s

Year 4: All times tables up to the 12s

You are welcome to come along to any of the above sessions, they will each be about 15/20 minutes long and are there to: recap on the individual times table, talk through strategies to help you learn, a quick test if wanted, questions and resources.

Please don’t hesitate to contact us through Dojo, email or ring the school office if you have any questions.

This afternoon is PE and Art and Design Technology.

I would like you to start with a PE session by Callum Wright from ‘TWWG’ please log onto his you tube channel and subscribe to today’s session.

Art, Design and Technology- This afternoon we will be tie dying old clothes, E.G. socks, t-shirts, vests, table cloths. It is up to you what you want to use. If your item is white then it will work better but this is not a necessity.

We will be tie dying to link in with our bible story for this week, Joseph and his coat of many colours.

On Joseph’s seventeenth birthday, Jacob gave him a magnificent present. It was a coat woven with a beautiful pattern that contained many different colours. Joseph loved the coat, but when his older brothers saw it they became even more jealous, and their dislike for him grew even stronger!

Please watch the video below for a step by step guide on how to achieve this look using food colouring. if you have any other methods for this with the equipment at home you are more than welcome to try your own.

Please see some examples below and we would love to see your creations with a before during and after picture.

Have a fantastic and creative afternoon and we look forward to see the wonderful tie dye items by dojo or class email.

Today we would like you watch the video of Any Dream Will Do .

In the story the main focus is Josephs amazing technicoloured dream coat.

For today’s activity we would like you to design your own coat onto a gingerbread man. Using icing and colourful sweets ( this could be skittle, smarties, rainbow drops)  we would like you to design a coat for Joseph. This can be as imaginative and colourful as you want.

1. Use icing to cover the whole top of the gingerbread man.
2. Sprinkle the sprinkle topping ( sweets of your choice ) on the icing (letting the extras fall on a plate so you can re-use them). Or you can put a lot of sprinkles in a dish and turn the frosted cookie upside down and put into the sprinkles (press down just a little bit until they stick).
3. Put on the sweets to make  eyes, mouth, and buttons on his coat.

Please find below a video of how you make your icing . Alternatively you can buy tubed icing that is already mixed .

If you can not access any gingerbread men as an alternative you could decorate a biscuit (rich tea) and design a coat on that instead.

If you do not have access to  gingerbread men or rich tea biscuits, then we have attached a template of a blank coat for you to design your own by drawing and colouring it instead.

Blank coat template

Please send in your finished designs via class dojo and we look forward to seeing your work.
