There was once a very tall man called Mr Chalk who lived with his dog, cat and also a cheeky hamster. Every day, he put on his hat and coat in the hallway, picked up a ball and called, ‘Come on, Fido! It’s time for your walk.’ Fido and his owner always went the same way so that Mr Chalk could have a talk with his friend Bob at his flower stall in the market. One day, as they passed the old castle walls, they noticed a strange shape stalking along through the grass. Just then, the rain started to fall in enormous splashy drops so they forgot the odd shape and ran to the market hall as fast as they could

Weekly Wider Curriculum Tasks

Geography - Look at a map of the world. Discuss the following

Picture News - Virtual Assembly 1st June

Story: There has been a huge increase in people wanting to work in the healthcare sector recently.

RE Ongoing Task

 

We would like you to learn more about the Churches in your local area. 

What are they called? How are they the same and how are they different? 

Think about why they are special to some people. Talk to people who have been inside to find out more about what is the same and different inside and why that might be.

 Can you work out what all or most Churches seem to have?

You could also research 1 or more of the Churches and find about their history 

or even do some Art or DT work inspired by them.

Happy Half Term to everyone in Calder Class. We won't be setting any 'work' to complete this week as we think both the children and parents/carers deserve a break! 

If you fancy doing something to challenge yourself though do keep on practising your tables on TT Rockstars and continue with any work you haven't had chance to get done so far. Read your favourite books, sing your favourite songs, get some exercise, help out with jobs at home, but most importantly keep being kind to your family! My family decided we needed a bit more positivity at home so we all thought of the thing we love the most about each other and the thing that makes us laugh the most about each other. Why not try it with your family? It was lovely to hear such kindness being spread. Apparently I am good at cuddles and singing silly songs I've made up! What will your loved ones say about you?

Have a wonderful week, take care and stay safe! xxx

Hello to all of our wonderful children at Carlton-in-Snaith Primary School! I have received a letter from Bruno at TT Rockstars and I thought I would share it with you.

Now, I always say we should aim high but even if you don't quite manage the super tough world record of over 150 in a single studio game, we would love to see your efforts. See how close you can get, can you beat your highest score? 

As Bruno explains, studio games include all of the times tables and associated division facts but as I regularly tell the children in Calder Class, it doesn't matter if you get any wrong- just keep going and see how many you can get right! Before you know it, you'll be getting higher and higher scores. Don't forget Percy Parker to help you learn the tables too (find him on YouTube) the songs are super catchy!

Send us your best efforts for us to share on our blogs :) or if you think you can beat the world record, send your video to the link below!

Guess what!?

Times Tables Rock Stars have gotten in touch with GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS After some conversations they have created a new title - "the highest score achieved on ‘Times Tables Rock Stars in one minute!"

To make an Official Attempt, players need to record a video of themselves achieving their highest score in the Studio* and send the video to support@mathscircle.com by 23:59 UK time on 4th June 2020.

Read Official Attempt criteria in full

The highest scores we've seen over the years have been 150+ in a single Studio game so we know the standard for this global title will be high. 

Time to get rockin' during lock-in!

Bruno

*Studio games go up 12×12 and include corresponding division facts.

Books to share with your children.

Books to share with your children.

Children being exposed to books beyond which they can read is an important part of the curriculum, so at school adults regularly read to the children. It inspires imaginations, models how to use fluency and expression when reading, introduces new vocabulary, supports comprehension plus many, many more things.

Here is a link to books to read aloud for children to follow and listen to. 

Top 10 storytimes to enjoy age 3-7.

The Book Trust has lots of interactive picture books to share.

Epic is the leading Digital Library for children under 12.

They are currently offering a Free 30 Day Trial.

If your child has read all of the Read Write Inc books on Oxford Owl then this link will take you to all the other Phonics based sets of books including Oxford Reading Tree and the Project X books, many of which are written by fantastic authors such as Julia Donaldson.

Reading at Home

Reading at Home

For those of you beginning to run out of books for your children to read or for you to read with your children, over the next few days we will be suggesting places where you can find many more. 

With the emphasis very much being on reading for pleasure.

Whilst your child continues to read to you- books that they can decode using their phonics, there is no reason you cannot enjoy a wider variety of books together!

I've received a lovely update from Freya's mummy. Freya has already managed to create her portrait of the queen and it is fantastic! Freya and her family are planning a forest walk to hunt for materials to make a hedgehog and Freya has had two special visits from the Tooth Fairy within the last three weeks! Wow! Freya has also celebrated her birthday over the weekend and look at that beautiful cake and sleepover set up for Freya and her little brother to enjoy. Happy birthday Freya! Love from us all in Calder Class xx

Can your child add the correct suffix to the following root words and spell them correctly both with and without the suffix?

happy

bewilder
sad

🌟Mrs Burton's Ongoing Project - Who is your hero?🌟

When I was in primary school I did a project all about my hero. It took me weeks! I learned lots of facts, made a booklet, drew and cut out pictures, and I can still remember facts about Gary Winston Lineker now! So it's your turn, choose someone who you admire, learn all about them, then show what you know in whatever way you want e.g scrapbook, PowerPoint, poster. This should be a project you work on over the next few weeks rather than complete in 1 session.
