Finally, spend time today finishing any incomplete tasks from the week (for example the internet rules poster from yesterday).
Task One: Reading
Access the Assignment on Team and send me an update of your reading this week. What have you been reading? What have you enjoyed? What would you like to read next?
Task Two: Maths
Today we are having a TT Rockstars session! Log-in and commence battle… you can challenge each other or work through the levels and lessons.
Task Three: English
Join your live lessons and complete the Assignment task set on Teams.
Task Four: PE
Catch up with the Activity Challenge I’ve posted on behalf of the School Games and do your own activity. Joe Wicks is also online at 9am if you fancy his workout!
Well done and thank you for such a brilliant week! We’ll be moving over to Teams next week as I think you are all accessing the activities on there (even if you’re recording work on paper).
Dragonflies – you are BRILLIANT! Happy weekend,
Miss Whit xx
Please see Teams for our full chats, lessons and live tasks – we’re all getting better at this!
Today’s top tip: Keep your School Games Activity log updated to send to the School Games organisers 🙂
9:20 Morning Meeting for all
9.40 Year 3 Maths lesson
10.05 Year 4 Maths lesson
10.30 Year 2 Maths lesson
11.00 Year 3 Recorders
11.30 Year 4 Recorders
1pm Afternoon Meeting for all
2pm Music lesson for everyone!
2.45pm Close of day meeting for all
Task One: Maths – look out for your live Teams lessons
Task Two : English. L/O: To describe a setting.
Today I would like you to use your own word bank (from yesterday) or use some of the language shared on the Teams Assignment for this task to write a story opening where the setting has been described effectively.
Here is an example by ‘Boring Miss Whit’!
A boy walked in the woods. There were tall trees. It was peaceful. The woodland felt calm but he felt a little lonely. Birds tweeted in the trees.
Can you do better? Of course. Go Dragonflies!
If you can, write this on the Assignment document as I can mark it with more detail 🙂
Task Three: Music 2pm – Mr Butler will be delivering LIVE Recorders and Music today!
Task Four: PSHE & Computing L/O; To think about how we use the internet everyday.
L/O: To consider how we use the internet.
As discussed in our meeting earlier, we are all using the internet and computers as a huge part of our daily lives at the moment. This technology can be brilliant! But is also needs to be used mindfully.
Your task is to create a poster which shows the rules which you think Dragonfly Class need to remember whilst we are learning at home using Microsoft Teams, live video calls and the internet including sending messages through chat, using The Playground and choosing emojis. There are lots of rules we should be following but pick a few that you think are most important to you at the moment.
Have a look at the links below for some ideas (you don’t have to do them all!)
How can you use the internet safely?
The Smart Crew – lots of activities, perhaps choose one or two to look at
Send your poster as a photo attachment to the Assignment if you can. Good luck!
See you on Teams
Miss Whit xx

*Reading – Make sure that you are reading for at least 15 minutes per day.
*History – We are going to begin our new topic which is all about the Anglo-Saxons and Vikings. We are beginning with a focus on the Anglo-Saxons to begin with.
So, what do you know already? Perhaps you know of some famous characters/kings? Or are familiar with how they lived, where they came from and what evidence of them we have left behind. Today, I would like you to conduct some research including into the following areas:
Where did the Anglo-Saxons come from?
Why did they more to Britain?
What sorts of jobs did they do?
What language did they speak?
What did they believe in?
You can add other facts and pictures that interest you.
*TTRockstars – spend any spare minutes rocking on through those tables.
Complete your work in the exercise books sent home last term and/or upload photos of your work to each assignment if possible as introduced on yesterday’s Teams meetings. If not, please send photos of what you have done to me at hollis.c@ruyton.shropshire.sch.uk or admin@ruyton.shropshire.sch.uk.

Remember that the question sheets are divided into 2 strands :Reasoning and Problem Solving (RPS) and Verbal Fluency (VF) and into 3 levels of difficulty (developing, expected and greater depth. You only need to complete one of the three levels of difficulty for each strand i.e. Year 6 expected RPS and VF. The answers are included at the back of each set for you to mark your work.

*Reading – Make sure that you are spending at least 15 minutes per day reading for pleasure. Keep a log of the title and pages read in your book.
*Science – Last week, I asked you to look at the work of Carl Linnaeus and his classification system of living things. Hopefully, you thought about how important it is to have a system of classifying livings things and what it would be like without it. Think of it as a filing system that helps with identification or a gigantic family tree.
So today, we are going to look at invertebrates.
Take a look at the following and write down the most interesting fact from either.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/clips/zmj8q6f
https://www.dkfindout.com/uk/animals-and-nature/invertebrates/
Looking at the classification system, a wolf spider would fit as follows:
As you can see, a wolf spider is the species name but it also falls into the class of arthropods. This means it has some of the same characteristics as crustaceans like crabs i.e. a hard outside skeleton. Today, I would like you to us the sheets below to find out more about the characteristics of invertebrates. There are 8 different sections but you do not have to complete all 8, you can pick at least 4 of your choice.
ESResource6.3.3Invertebratesharder
*TTRockstars – spend any spare minutes rocking on through those tables.
Complete your work in the exercise books sent home last term and please send photos of what you have done to me at hollis.c@ruyton.shropshire.sch.uk or admin@ruyton.shropshire.sch.uk.
Have a great day and I will hopefully see you throughout the day on TEAMS.
