Elm Class Learning Friday 19th June 2020

Sharing assembly day! I would love to see the fantastic work you have been up to this week! You can share photos on this post or send some examples to me!

Spellings: Can you get someone to test you on the cious words we have be learning this week? How did you do? Are there some you may need a little more practice on?

Arithmetic: I have uploaded the next arithmetic test for you to have a go at and the answers, so you can check your answers. The best thing you can take from these is to have a look at the areas you struggled with, note these down and these are the areas to focus your practice on for next time.

Grammar: I have taken some questions from a previous grammar SATs paper on the skills we have been practicing this week. Can you have a go at these?

English: L.O. To read up to page 32 (on the PDF but in the book make sure you read up to the beginning of chapter 16).

There is quite a bit of reading today so you only need to read.

Remember, if you come across a word you do not understand, read it slowly, then consider the context of the sentence. If you are still unsure ask someone what it means or get a dictionary!

You may want to practise reading aloud to someone to ensure that you are fluent and have the correct expression.

Maths: Today is our last day on fractions! Could you have a go at some of the real life word problems using fractions perhaps? Could you try a new activity that you haven’t done yet this week?

Topic:

Today is our last day on the climate and Geography of Mexico! Can you find out something different today?

Suggested activities for the week:

•      Locate Mexico on a map and describe its location. What continent is it in? Which other countries are near it? Is it in the northern or southern hemisphere?

•      Research the weather in Mexico. Is it similar to the weather in the U.K.? Why might this be the case? Could you create a temperature/rainfall graph to show the temperature/rainfall throughout the year?

•      Are the seasons the same in Mexico? Why/why not?

•      Research the plantlife in Mexico. Are there any species of plant native to Mexico? Could you draw or paint these?

•      Research the wildlife of Mexico. Present this information in a fun way- perhaps in a poster.

•      What is the landscape of Mexico like? Are there any famous mountains or rivers? Is it similar of different to the U.K.?

•      Have there been any big natural disasters in Mexico? Why have these happened? You could write a newspaper report of one of these or a diary entry from someone who was there.

•      Research famous landmarks in Mexico.

•      Research the capital city of Mexico and compare it to other capital cities.

Have a lovely weekend,

Miss Coates.
