Good morning, Adders. I hope you enjoyed your weekend and managed to have some ‘down time’ from your studies. I am SO impressed with your learning and how committed you have been to completing the tasks I have set as well as sending me photos of them and your documents. The ‘Come Dine With Me’ activity really made some of your creative juices flow and the dishes you created looked so yummy; I hope your family enjoyed eating them.
The theme for this week is Celebrations linked to the 75th anniversary of VE Day on Friday (which is a bank holiday so we all have a day off!). All the learning for this week is outlined on the overview sheet in your printed pack and all the relevant reading, topic activity sheets have been put together with a paperclip.
Your parents should have received an email on Friday about the Collective Worship ‘Worship at Home: Hope’ activities. Please make sure that you are choosing an activity to complete as often as you can. You can download the activities on this blog. I would love to see a photo of the origami eagle or if you take a photo of 'hope'.
This is the learning that I would like you to complete today:
- Arithmetic Test 17 OR 15 minutes TT Rockstars.
- Reading – VE Day Reading Comprehension in your printed pack. You have an answer page to use for your answers. Please answer in full sentences. I will post the answers on the Answer page on Adders Class part of the website tomorrow.

- Topic – Planning a VE Celebration: You need to plan an imaginary celebration for this year’s 75th anniversary of VE Day on 8th May. You have £150 to spend and 25 guests will be attending. What will the money be spent on? You will need to plan the celebration considering the location of the event, how you will decorate the venue, what your guests will eat and drink and how you will entertain their guests. You will also need to detail the timings of the event and any timings for preparation. Obviously this won’t be able to happen in its entirety due to Coronavirus and social distancing, so you could take elements of your plan to use on Friday when you celebrate with your family.
- Physical Exercise – any activity that is going to give you 60 minutes of exercise.
There is a new discussion when you log on to the website that you can upload any photos of your learning and ask any questions that you have. Alternatively, please email me directly on the address you have in your printed pack.
I have included a Statistics Knowledge Organiser for each year group at the bottom of this blog in case you are finding the maths a bit of a challenge.
Enjoy your day Adders!
