Good morning everyone.
I hope you all had a great weekend and had lots of fun.
Just like last week I'll be teaching at Grewelthorpe today but if you have any problems just email me and I'll get back to you as quickly as I can.
Time to see what Monday morning has in store for us...
PE:
Have a look at the below link. There are lots of ideas for different PE type activities that you could do at home; give one a go!

Maths
Today for your maths we will be working on our mental maths again and trying to keep our times tables re-call as quick and sharp as we can.
Please go on Rockstar maths and complete 5 games on there, and when you have done that have a go on the soundcheck to see how you are doing if you can (if this mode doesn't work for you don't worry).
When you have done that you can have a look at the Mathsframe website and work on your maths skills. Remember that you can change the options on that so you can work on the tables that you want to.

This week our focus will be sport so I've been playing the "Maths Goalie" game.
My top score was 1100, I wonder if anyone can beat that?
English
For our English today we are going to imagine that we are interviewing a famous sports star.
You need to choose a sports person you admire or really like. Then write a list of questions that you would like to ask them. When you have done that you need to think about what they would say and write an answer to the question too. There are lots of different questions you could ask, but try to think of ones that won't just have a yes or no answer. You could maybe ask them how they felt when they played their first game for England, or what it felt like to get picked for the Olympic team.
You can do any sportsperson you can think of so it could be a motor-cross champion, a sprinter, a horse rider, an F-1 driver.... it doesn't have to be a footballer.
Remember to use capital letters at the start of your sentences and be very careful today because you will need question marks at the end too.
I can't wait to see who you interview and what questions you ask them.
Reading.
As always please try to do your 30 minutes of reading today. Maybe you could find a sports book to read to help you with your topic work.
Spellings
For your spellings this week we have two lists to work on. There are some words to help you with the pattern, but see if you can find any more that fit it too. Some people might have been given a different spelling list to work on, if you have then please follow that instead.
Once you have created your list of words that follow the pattern please choose 5 - 10 of these words and learn them over the week.

Topic work
The project this week aims to provide opportunities for you to learn more about sports and games. Learning may focus on the history of sport, sporting-heroes, physical challenges and performance.
● Our Sport Heroes- How many famous sports people can your child name? Ask them to choose a sports person and research online about them. Can they find out how and when they started their career, or any other interesting facts about them? Encourage your child to create a timeline that details all of the achievements of their sporting hero.
● Tissue Paper Sports Logo - Ask your child to use scrunched up tissue and paint to recreate the logo for their favourite sport team or design and create their own sport logo, perhaps for their school team. Your child could sketch this with pencils as an alternative.
● Super Movers! - Encourage your child to take part in this football themed Super Movers! There are two levels - Super Movers are a great way to keep active and have fun! Try Go Noodle and dance along to one of their routines - there’s plenty to choose from and the whole family can join in! Your child could design a poster encouraging others to take part in sporting activities. Ask them how they would persuade others to join in. What type of words could they use?
● Sharing Sport Interests - Encourage your child to ask different family members about their favourite sports and any sports they took part in growing up - were they a part of any clubs? Did they take part in any competitions? Did they win any trophies? They might find out something new about their family members! Following this, can your child use the information to write a newspaper report recounting one the memorable events? They could include quotes from the interview.
● Powerful Paralympians - You could explore diversity in sport with your child. Ask your child to find out about the Paralympic games and famous paralympians such as Ellie Simmonds. How have these people overcome challenges to represent their country in their chosen sport? They could write a letter/email to a chosen athlete and ask them questions about their sporting journey. Or they could draw a detailed sketch of the athlete during a winning moment.
I hope you have a lots of fun with the sporty topic work,
Mr G
