Thursday 16th July 2020 Elm Class learning

Today and tomorrow are very exciting, as we are going to be partaking in a virtual sports day! All the activities can easily be done from home and when you have completed your activities, you can send me your times and distances covered via email. The winners for each event for each class will be announced when all of the entries are in!

Spellings: Can you practice the ‘ough’ spellings using a strategy from the spelling menu? Be as creative as you like in order to help you remember the spellings of the words.

Arithmetic: This week, I would like you to practice your long multiplication skills. Remember, when you are multiplying by a 10, you should always start with a zero in your column as a place value holder. Can you have a go at the questions below?

476 x 98 =

324 x 56 =

7784 x 34=

Grammar:  Today we are going to look at using apostrophes to show a word has been contracted. For example, does not become doesn’t and she will becomes she’ll. The apostrophe shows tow words have been joined together and certain letters have been dropped to join the two words together. Can you have a go at the activity below, adding in contracted words to the gaps, which make sense in the sentences?

English: Have a look at the suggested transition activities below. These are a great way to reflect on the year and think about the new class you are going into. Which activity will you try today? If you would like to finish reading Holes, I will keep the PDF on the class webpage for you to finish the book and find out what happens! Can you have a go at another transition activity today?

Maths: Today, we are going to be putting all of our skills involving time into practice, and having a go at some time words problems! I have uploaded a silver and bronze challenge to the class webpage for you to have a go at! Can you challenge yourself?

Cedar class learning for 16 JUL 2020

English: LO: to create a class charter.

Back at the start of this academic year we created a class charter of all the rules and expectations we had of each other and how we would behave and treat the adults and other children in our class. Today, for your transition activity, I would like you to come up with a proposal for a class charter for your new class when you come back in September. What rules do you think there should be? How do you think the children and adults should behave towards each other? Come up with 5-10 points on your charter to share when you come back to school.

Maths: LO: to tell the time from an analogue clock.

Today I would like you to work on telling the time using a clock. There is a choice of activities today depending on what you have available to you. If you can, I would like you to keep a time diary throughout the day and write down the exact time you do day-to-day events. For example: you might have just sat down and started your school work. In your time diary you would write down the current time and write ‘started school work’ next to the time. If you are unable to do this, or want to do extra work, then below are two different challenge worksheets on telling the time from an analogue clock.

Challenge 1

English: LO: to write an autobiography.

An autobiography is a piece of text written about your own life. People write autobiographies to share their life stories with readers; they are written in the first person (I/my/me).

For today’s transition activity I would like you to write an autobiography in which you share details about your life, your family, and anything else you feel is important. This is like a factual story all about your life where you tell the reader what you think the most important bits to know are. Bring your autobiography to school in September to share with your new teacher and classmates!

Maths: LO: to order times and events.

Today I would like you to work on putting times and events into the correct order. In your book, break your page into quarters and write the following headings in each quarter: Morning, Afternoon, Evening, Night.
