I am really sorry to have missed you all this week. As you may have gathered Mrs Bernasconi and I both have covid even though we haven’t seen each other, so keep testing if you’re feeling at all poorly. However, we know you’re in great hands with Mrs Wade and Mrs Colin- Stokes and we are all in constant touch with each other.
Year 5/6 Topic homework
I am particularly sorry to have missed continuing with our topic -The Titanic- which I know you are all really excited about. Did you spot I had left lots of books out for you? For part of your homework, I would like you to do some research about 1912 – the year the Titanic sunk. Your work should be presented on a piece of A4 paper that can be stuck in your book (don’t write on the back of a sheet as it makes sticking it in your book tricky). Your information may be presented in a fact file or a poster format . You can find out what you like: who was king at the time; fashion; transport; inventions; music etc You can use the computer to create your work. However do not cut and paste written information or write information that you don’t understand; I would like to see it in your own words! If you’re struggling to print, then e-mail it to me as an attachment. Remember I don’t want to know about the Titanic as we’re learning about this in class but background to the period will really help you. I will give you two weeks to complete this homework; it will need to be in on Wednesday 23rd March.
Year 6 maths
Well done to the majority of you who had a go at the long division for homework. Remember I asked you to ask on Monday if you were stuck so someone could help you before it needed to be in on Wednesday.
This week you have been given a half arithmetic paper for homework. You should now be able to do everything on the paper but, of course, we all forget things so if if you’re struggling with any of the questions, circle it and we can go over it together. This should take less than 20 minutes as a whole paper should take you 30 minutes. Strive for accuracy!
Year 6 English
You have been given 10 PAG questions which are set out in the style of SATs . Circle any you are unsure of. Don’t lose precious marks by forgetting to put capital letters or full stops or by writing your comma incorrectly!
Year 5
Mrs Bernasconi is setting your maths and English homework on line.
I am really looking forward to seeing you all next week as long as my lateral flow is negative.
Have a good weekend.
Mrs Benson
