Hello Blue class – we hope you have had a productive end of week.

Tasks have been assign for Year 5 on Classroom Secrets Kids again.

This week the English revises Adverbs.

In maths this week we have begun to draw, measure and calculate angles – in the homework you will be practising some of this.

Some of these are videos and slides. They are interactive though and have places for you to input answers to the questions being asked. Please try to complete them all. To get the most out of the learning opportunities, interactive slides and videos should be completed before the games and challenges.

Year 6 have homework which is printed again this week.

Remember – both year groups need to ensure they are learning their spellings and keeping their times tables knowledge fast and fluent.

Year 5 have homework set on Classroom Secrets Kids again this week. There is maths and English.

The maths is in two parts – units of measurement.

The English is also in two parts. This focuses on modal verbs.

As usual, please try to at least start it over the weekend so that you can ask for help BEFORE it is due to be completed.

Year 6 – Mrs Benson has given you printed work / pages from your SATs revision  books.
