Word of the Day • Canopy (noun) • the branches and leaves that spread out at the top of a group of trees forming a type of roof. • E.g. • The sun was glistening through the top of the rainforest canopy. • In the rainforest, most plant and animal life is not found on the forest floor, but in the leafy world known as the canopy. The canopy, which may be over 100 feet (30 m) above the ground, is made up of the overlapping branches and leaves of rainforest trees.

Guided Reading Task – ‘Rainforests’ Comprehension • Today, you are going to read about Rainforests. • This is helpful background information linked to our class book, ‘Journey to the River Sea’, which is, of course, set in the Amazon Rainforest. • There are three levels of challenge in the comprehension – pick your challenge! • The comprehension is with the resources on the class page. Don’t worry if you can’t print – read the text and questions on the screen and write down your answers. Don’t forget to check and correct!
Maths Live Lesson – 10.00-10.30am • Today, we are going to finish our work on adding and subtracting fractions with different denominators by looking at some word problems. • There are three levels of challenge on the worksheet in the resources section of the class page – 1, 2 and 3 – pick your challenge! (You can do more than one, if you like, or some questions from each of the three challenges.) • Don’t worry if you can’t print – work from the screen and write your answers on paper. • Join Miss Pickup live on Teams at 10.00-10.30am. • You will need: • A piece of paper • A pencil (and maybe a rubber?!) • A switched-on brain!
Maths – Adding and Subtracting Fractions
with different denominators
• Today in Maths, we are going to finish off our
adding and subtracting fractions work by having a
go at some word problems.
• We are going to add and subtract fractions with
different denominators, just like we’ve been doing
all week.
• You need to read the word problems carefully, and
pick out the calculations that you need to do.
• Write each calculation down separately, just the
numbers, without the words to distract you.Maths – Subtracting Fractions with denominators that are multiples • There are three levels of challenge on the main worksheet, getting harder from Challenge 1 to 3. • If you are a Year 3, start with Challenge 1. • If you are a Year 4, start with Challenge 2. • Challenge 3 is for super confident Year 4s only! (You will need to multiply both sets of fractions to make them the same number!) • If you are finding this a little tricky, don’t worry – there is another challenge, labelled Challenge A, which is further practise at subtracting fractions with like denominators, with missing number problems to do today, so have a go at that instead!

• Subtracting fractions with the same denominator is
really simple!
• Write down your calculation.
• Your answer will have the same denominator.
• Find the difference between the numerators – you have
you answer!
• If you can, simplify the new fraction to its lowest
form.

Friday 2nd January, 2021.
Dear Santa,
I am writing to thank you for the lovely presents you left at my house on Christmas Eve. I
couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw them all and so beautifully wrapped. Your elves must
have been very busy this year.
I especially loved the bike and have been learning how to ride it, as I haven’t had one without
stabilisers before. The pink helmet is a perfect fit and I wear it to protect my head when I’m
on my bike in case I fall off.
My brother James loved his train set and has been playing with it everyday since you
delivered it. He loves the noises it makes and connecting all of the carriages together.
I hope you and Mrs Claus have a lovely holiday and the elves and reindeers have a well
deserved rest.
Love from,
Daisy xxExample of a Postcard
Dear Daisy,
How are you? We are at the seaside!
It has been like a dream and very
nice weather too. What a treat! We Daisy McClean,
have had ice cream every day and
my Mum said maybe I can go on a 3 Sheaf Street,
donkey tomorrow and she will teach
me to swim, what a week it’s been!
We’ve spent lots of money as it isn’t Milton Keynes
cheap and our feet are tired but it’s
been worth it. MK3 3ET
Lots of love and see you soon,
May xxExample of a Postcard – Miss Pickup’s Dear Children, I hope this postcard finds you happy and well? I am having fun in my living room, at my dining table, planning lessons for you all! Iggy Dog is doing a great job of both keeping me company and driving me mad with constant demands for food and walks! Giraffe Class Children, Today, we went for a very muddy walk and it was lovely as the sun almost came out! At School or Home, Tomorrow, I’m going to record some more chapters of the class book for you to listen to. I’m really enjoying all the work you are Wiltshire sending me and sharing with me in the live lessons – thank you for working so hard MI55 Y0U and putting such effort into your learning! Take care, and see you soon on Teams! Miss P :-)

Oxbow Lakes
• Today, we are going to learn about a really cool feature of rivers –
oxbow lakes. The sheets mentioned below for Task Two and Task
Three are with today’s resources on the class page.
• Did you know that a river changes its course? It can carve out new
shapes, and create its own lakes. Rivers are truly amazing things!
• Task One: You are going to watch two short videos which
explain/show how oxbow lakes are formed (on the next slides).
• Task Two: You are going to read an information sheet, which also
explains how oxbow lakes are formed.
• Task Three: You are going to complete an activity to test your
knowledge of how oxbow lakes are formed. There are three levels
of challenge to choose from. If you can, print out the sheets, as it
is easier to cut and stick. If you can’t print, don’t worry – draw
your own diagrams and copy out the correct sentences beside
them to label each one correctly.Geography – Rivers

(But you don’t have to if you don’t want to!) • Join Miss Pickup live on Teams at 2.30-3.00pm. • You will need: • Your letter about your holiday to the Amazon. • Your listening and feedback skills.
We hope that you have enjoyed
today’s learning!
