Elm Class learning Friday 3rd April 2020

Hi everyone, you have made it to the Easter holidays, a well-deserved break!
Spellings: Can you get someone to test you on some of your ‘i before e except after c words?’

English: Following on from reading chapter 11 of Goodnight Mr Tom, I have added some reading comprehension questions to the class webpage, can you have a go at the reading ERIC before attempting the building block, word retrieval questions, and some of the challenge questions?

Inference Questions Chapter 11 GMTDownload

Maths- Understanding the language of ratio- today I would like you to revisit ratio. A ratio shows how much of one thing there is compared to another. I have uploaded an activity sheet to have a go at, see how much you can complete. If you cannot access the sheet, or want to try something different as an extra challenge, you can also use objects around your house to create a ratio. Set up a pattern and see if you can write the ratio down for the pattern you have created. For example:
There are 3 bananas for every 2 apples.
There are 4 red lego pieces for every 5 blue lego pieces!

Arithmetic: I have uploaded the weekly test to the class webpage and have uploaded the answers to check back.

PSHE: Today, I would like us to think about the ‘power of positive thinking’. Positive thinking can have a big impact on your mood and emotions and in the changing times we are experiencing at the moment, it is really important to think about our mind set. I have uploaded to the school website an information sheet about positive mind set and what positive affirmations are. I have then uploaded some examples of positive affirmation postcards. Your challenge: Could you make your own positive affirmation postcards, maybe to go on the fridge door on up in your bedroom? Help spread some positivity!

P4C: (If you have time) and fancy a discussion with your family members! What do we really need in life to feel content? Does this change for different people? Have these different times changed your view on what you think is most important?

Thank you for your continued support and positivity. If you would like to share anything tomorrow for the sharing assembly, I would love to see some of your work and creations! Have a fabulous Easter break, try and enjoy some of the nice weather to come- get out in the garden and enjoy some fresh air, I know I will be!

Phonics – write a sentence for each of the following tricky words – “said”, “because” and “some”. 

Maths – go on a shape hunt around the house. What other 2d shapes can you find? Can you draw and label some in your book? How would you describe the 2d shapes to an alien? How many sides and corners do they have? Are they straight or curved? 

English – read your school book or a book from home. Can you find any question marks inside? Go on a ? hunt, how many can you find in total? 

RE – is your Lent calendar up to date? Colour the squares on the pathway to make sure it is. How many more days until Easter? 

Additional – read school book, practise 5x tables on Pixl Times Table App, join Joe Wicks for PE at 9am – don’t forgot it’s Fancy dress Friday with Joe! What are you going to wear?

Well done for completing another week of home learning. Thank you for your engagement and positivity. Have a well deserved Spring break, stay safe and happy. Mrs Keeler 😊

Spelling: You should have been looking at the spelling rule of adding ‘s’ or ‘es’ to make a word plural. Get someone at home to see if you can remember the rule and test you on 10 words.

English: If you are still catching up with writing your story, then use today to try and finish it. If you have finished it, try the following:
LO: to improve an author’s writing.

In your reading book, find a page or section of writing which you either really like, or think is a bit dull. I would like you to try and rewrite what the author has wrote but make it better. This could be by adding in some extra adjectives, adverbs, or perhaps even speech. If you are reading a book which has pictures in it, add some writing to explain what the pictures are telling you. If you remember back to when we read Arthur and the Golden Rope, we discussed how sometimes pictures can add detail that the author doesn’t write down. Imagine that you are going to take the picture in your book away, and write down what the picture is telling the reader. Don’t forget that you need to make sure it makes sense as a story still!
When you are done, read what you wrote to someone at home and see if they can tell which version is yours, and which is the original.

Maths: LO: to check my understanding of the 6 times table.
This week for your arithmetic work, you should have been learning and practising your 6 times table. Today, I would like you to get someone at home to give you ten questions around the 6 times table (if everyone at home is busy then you could make up ten for yourself). Make sure that 5 of the questions are multiplication, and five of the questions are for division. (E.g. 3 X 6 =?; 24 ÷ 6 =?).
Don’t forget to keep practising your 3, 4 and 6 times tables whenever you can!

Computing: Carry on with your game design whenever you get a chance.

PSHE: We have all been spending a lot of time indoors lately, so today I would like you to head outside to your garden and try a 5 senses scavenger hunt. Below are some headings, I would like you to find one thing in your garden (or inside too if it’s too cold/raining) for each heading. You could write down what you found in your workbook, make a poster of each item found, or even find a fun way to present it by taking pictures. If you would rather just do the scavenger hunt and enjoy it, that’s also okay. Try and find unusual items which other people may not have in their homes/gardens:

  1. Something smooth,
  2. Something rough,
  3. Something that makes a lot of noise,
  4. Something round,
  5. Something yellow,
  6. Something that came from a plant,
  7. Something that has a strong smell.
  8. Something long,
  9. Something made by humans,
  10. Something soft,
  11. Something that is edible.
  12. Something red,
  13. Something that smells like summertime,
  14. Something cold,
  15. Something sparkly.

Have a great Easter break! – Mr Keeble

Oak Class Thursday 2nd April

Joe Wicks is about to start! I am doing my best to keep up! Hope you are too!

Phonics: use the ow sound to make the words pow and wow.

Say it, stretch it, sound it out! Put the words in to a sentence.

Maths: Work on ways to make 10. If you know them now, ask someone in your house to say a number 1 to 10 and you have to say the other number to make it to 10.

ICT: If you have access to a laptop or i-pad, can you have a go at using the key pad to type a simple sentence about something you like. If you want to write more that would be great!

Yesterday I sent you all a text with your Purple Mash Login. I hope you got it and can spend a bit of time looking around at what sort of things you can access there. If you have any trouble, send me a message.

Have a great day!

Missing you all!
Mrs Tinkley

Maple Class learning for Thursday 2nd April 2020

Phonics – write a sentence for each of the following tricky words – ‘helpful’, ‘through’ and ‘little’. 

Maths – go on a shape hunt around the house. How many squares can you find? Can you draw and label some in your book? How would you describe a square to an alien? How many sides and corners does it have? Are they straight or curved? 

English – write 5 questions for Churchie the school dog. What has he been doing since school closed? Remember to include a ? at the end of each question. You could write your questions in a letter to Churchie if you’d like. 

Art/Music – listen to your favourite song and draw whatever comes into your mind. 

Additional – read school book, practise 10x tables on Pixl Times Table App, join Joe Wicks for PE at 9am. 

Thank you, Mrs Keeler

Rowan Class Thu 2nd April

English:  Write a newspaper report about the Viking raid on Lindisfarne.  See yesterday’s resources if you need help.

Maths: Choosing the most suitable measuring units for different situation.  What would be the most suitable units for measuring: the length of the garden, your height, the weight of a toy, the milk needed for breakfast, the petrol in the car, the flour to make a cake … etc.  Y4 children should be confident with metric units and Y5s should also start to recognise uses of common imperial units (e.g. pounds, pints, miles & inches).  There are To Dos on Purple Mash to supplement this.

P4C: Leading on from last week’s questions about whether it was right to invade someone just because they are weaker than you, talk about this: Should we compete against someone just because we know we are better than them?  Is there the same satisfaction in winning if you opponent is weaker than you?

PE/PSHE:  Create a poster about how to be a good winner and a good loser.
