7 May 2020: Home Learning

Posted on Wednesday 06 May 2020 by Mr Roundtree

Hello children.

Tomorrow is VE day. We have some activities planned for you tomorrow, and all your learning will be linked to the VE day celebrations in some way. You may have some ideas for celebrating this day at home already. Please let us know what you will be doing, or send your teacher a photo of what you did.

Keeping active: What is your super move of the day?

Here is your learning:

Maths Y3 and Y4

As tomorrow’s tasks will be slightly different due to the bank holiday, we’ll have our challenges day today instead. Here’s a link to another four problems from BBC Bitesize.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zd3q2sg

How many of them will you conquer? Answers are on the link too but suggested workings out will be posted tomorrow. Here are some things to remember when approaching each challenge. Given the content, Challenge 4 might be more accessible to Year 4 than Year 3.

Top Tips – Challenge 1:

Read the text carefully to avoid falling into traps. Think about what ‘half’ means and for the second part in particular, think about ‘half’ isn’t.

Top Tips – Challenge 2

Take time to understand the information that has been given. Bar modelling would help with this.

Top Tips – Challenge 3:

This is quite a long problem. Breaking it down into smaller chunks and showing your working will help you to avoid mistakes.

Top Tips – Challenge 4:

You are asked to find two ways but can you find all solutions? Think about how you might approach this systematically (in order).  It’s useful to remember that 1000ml = 1l .

Year 5,6 Quiz of the Week!

Posted on Friday 01 May 2020 by Mr Catherall

This week, we’ve decided to end the week with a little bit of fun. So, we’ve made a video quiz of the week. Check it out here.

It’s a mix of general knowledge, a recap of some previous learning and a bit of fun! We’re hoping you’ll play along as a family, or maybe against other families and will enjoy 10 mins of trivia and silliness.

If you like it, get in touch and we’ll do a weekly edition published every Friday.

Enjoy!

Hello Year 5/6 S

Posted on Thursday 30 April 2020 by Mrs Hogarth

Hello.

Well we are nearing the end of another week in lockdown. I thought I’d see how you are all getting on? I hope you are all still working hard on your home learning, but also remembering to spend some time in the fresh air (and rain) as this is very important. There are still some people that I haven’t heard from yet, so please send me an email to let me know what you’ve been up to. Thanks to all those people who keep in regular contact- I love getting your emails.

Keep in touch and let me know what yummy things you’ve eaten recently and how you’re all keeping yourselves entertained.

Thank you to Lleyton for sending his writing to me this morning. I’m really impressed with the effort that you’ve put in. You have used a range of sentence starters and your vocabulary is good – well done.
