Remote Learning

A letter has been sent home with children today about using Teams for remote learning in the event of a Covid closure, bubble isolation or lockdown. Please look out for it and keep them safe as it contains instructions on how to log-in.

Hopefully, we will not need to return to remote learning; however, it is better to be prepared. We feel Teams will enable us to have some face to face contact with our classes during any period of remote learning.

Reception, you have not been forgotten. You will receive yours very soon too.

Maths Games Subscription

Just a quick reminder that all the children have their own username and password for Times Table Rocks Stars and for Numbots. They should use the same one for both.

Both games are available as apps. It’s a great, fun and productive way to fill those times when waiting for other family members to complete their sports club session or other activities. Learn at your own pace, earn points or compete against a friend.

Multiplication and Division Facts

Having those multiplication and division facts at our finger tips is extremely important. It releases some brain processing time and allows you to focus on problem solving and reasoning about your maths. So, we are continuing to practise our times tables and to have regular “quizzes” to check how you are progressing.

Don’t forget you have a school log in for Times Table Rock Stars. We will soon be giving weekly awards for time spent and speeds achieved.

We have already revised 2,3,4,5,6,8 & 10 multiplication facts so far this term.

The focus in the next few weeks is listed below:

w/c 5/10/20 – 9 x

w/c 12/10/20 – 7 x

w/c 19/10/20 – 3 & 6 & 12 x

w/c 26/10/20 Half Term – Practise all those covered so far this term – mix them up!

w/c 2/11/20 – 11 x & 9 x

w/c 9/11 – Practise all mixed together

For those of you who already can manage 80 in the the time given , keep practising so that you don’t lose your speed and accuracy.

Spellings w/c 14 September

LO: To spell words ending in –able and -ible

This week we have a spelling pattern to think about. The words below are examples of this pattern.

We discussed in class that one way to remember whether they end in “able” or “ible” is to look at the root word – if it sounds like able has been added to a real word then it will be “able” (e.g. adorable) If the root does’t sound like a word (e.g. horrible then it will be “ible”).

horrible

terrible

possible

enjoyable

forgivable

disposable

reversible

edible

adorable

valuable

Can you think of any other words which follow this pattern?

I have added a task on Purple Mash to help you to practise this pattern – this is optional.
