Elm Class learning Thursday 2nd April 2020

Hi everybody, we are going to be posting work and activities until Friday, and then some easier, fun activities for the Easter holidays from then on if you would like to have a go at them!

Grammar: Using your reading book, can you make a list of nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs you find?
Challenge: Can you find any prepositions?

Spellings: To continue to practice ‘I before e except after c’ words- could you add these to a word wall or word scrapbook/ notebook? Keep all the new words you learn together!

English: Finish editing your newspaper article, if you would like to write it up in neat, I have uploaded a newspaper article template to the school website. I would love to see some of these posted to the Facebook page on Friday as part of our sharing if you would like to! After this, I would like you to read chapter 11 of Goodnight Mr Tom- the chapter has been uploaded onto the class webpage for you to read but you will need this password: GMTElm11 to open the PowerPoint, due to copyright.

Maths: Today, we are recapping rounding decimals up to 3 decimal places. I have uploaded an activity sheet to have a go at on the class webpage- questions 1-5 are the Bronze task, questions 1-8 are the Silver task and the Gold task is completing the activity sheet and having a go at the additional reasoning and problem solving questions on rounding decimals I have also uploaded. If you are struggling with this, I have attached a video to watch, to help to revisit rounding decimals.

Arithmetic: Final practice of percentages of amounts- test will be uploaded tomorrow.

Geography: Can you create/sketch your own map of Little Weirwold? You may include places such as Mister Tom’s house, the post office, the Church, the school and other areas that have been mentioned in the story. Can you include an 8 point compass and then use this to instruct someone around your map? With your instructions, can they guess which place they have reached on your map? If you want to see an example map of Little Weirwold for some ideas, you can see this on the class webpage.

Additional: Times table practice, daily mile around the garden, 20 mins reading, handwriting practice, board games!

Thank you, you are all superstars!!🌟
