Elm Class Learning Monday 18th May 2020
Good morning Elm Class! Welcome back to Monday, really missing you all, hope you are enjoying the lovely weather we are having!
Spellings: This week’s spellings are going to focus on different prefixes. We will collect and practice these for different prefixes each day. Today I would like you to collect as many spellings as you can which begin with ‘il, for example- illegible, im, eg- impatient and ir, eg – irregular. Can you write as many words down as you can find for each and practice these using a method of your choice?
Arithmetic: This week, we are going to practice long division. We have done this plenty of times in class, so you should have a good idea of the method, the key with this is to remember to write down the 2, 4, 5 and 10 times table of the number you are dividing by first, this will really help you later on with the calculation. Remember to also check your working back for any calculation errors. I have attached a video to explain this if you need a recap: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mvgV5REvDb4
996 ÷ 26=
928 ÷ 16=
3875 ÷ 25=
Grammar: Today we are going to look at prepositions. A preposition is a word that tells you where or when something is in relation to something else.
Examples of prepositions include words like after, before, on, under, inside and outside. Can you describe the picture I have attached with a few sentences, which include prepositions? For example:
The kite is flying high above the people.
English: Read chapter 18 (Recovery) and chapter 19 (The sea, the sea, the sea!) of Goodnight Mister Tom. We are going to finish the book this week!
Maths: This week in Maths, we are going to try something slightly different. Just like the topic work, attached to this post is a weekly list of activities for Maths, which gives lots of activities suitable for year 5 and 6. Some are practical, some use a sheet or a printable activity, so you can choose which ones you prefer each day. Have a look at the list below and choose what you would like to have a go at each day! The links for the printable activities are below.
Japan Activities for the week!
Our weekly focus for this week is: Round up Research!
This week I would like you to use your time to find out anything else about Japan which you haven’t found out yet! You could revisit any of the tasks from the previous weeks which you didn’t manage to complete or research your own interests!
Feel free to present this information in any way that you would like.
Missing you all,
Miss Coates.
