Dear Parents

Blue class will be recieving homework from today. Homework is set on a Thursday and neeeds to be completed by the following Tuesday ( 14.11.23). Although homework is always based on work we have been doing in class, children should try not to leave it until Monday evening so we can help then if they are stuck before it needs to be handed in.  Mrs Bernasconi will be setting the Maths homework on line using Ed shed this week. May I remind you that children should also be reading each day at home and parents should sign the reading diaries. There are also timestables tests each week. Tomorrow’s  times tables are 3 and 9. Next Friday is 7 and 11.

English Homework

This week we have been looking at how to use commas to add extra information in a sentence ( parenthesis)

Year 5 have pages 48 and 49 to complete in their grammar  workbook .

Year 6 have pages 44 and 45 to complete in their grammar workbook.

Thank you for all your support.

Mrs Benson

Dear All,

We are starting work on factors and multiples in maths  this week. This will be leading onto formal methods for multiplication and division. We will then be focussing on fractions. For all these areas of mathematics, quick recall of times table facts and their related division facts is essential. Some children are very confident but others are ‘ quite rusty’.  We are going to revisit the times tables over the coming weeks which will be tested each Friday; we will then revisit again with the accompanying division facts. This week we are working on our 4 times table and eight times table.

We hope you will support us in helping your child learn their tables. We have Timestable Rockstar to support this and Hit the Button is also a fun free app.  In the words of our year 6, ” Maths is hard in Blue if you don’t know your tables!”

Many thanks for your support

Mrs Benson and Mrs Bernasconi

Year 5’s homework this week is about properties of 3D shapes.  Some interactive slides (with questions to answer at various points) plus a short activity have been allocated on Clasrrom Secrets Kids.

Enjoy the Coronation!

Year 5

I have allocated some activities on co-ordinates on Classroom secrets kids as this was our focus at the beginning of the week.

Year 6

The Monday booster group have two sets of questions which were started in school to complete.

Friday’s booster group will have their homework set with Mrs Benson on Friday morning.

Don’t forget that we are here to help – it’s great that you ask when particular topics come up in revision that you want us to go over. We are always happy to fit these into breaks, lunchtimes or booster groups if it is something which needs focused support.

If something comes up during homework, you can always use the video tutorials in Classroom secrets to get help when you are at home. This can be helpful if you just need a quick reminder and saves you worrying over the weekend. ( They have maths and SPAG video tutorials.)

English

Year 5 have a comprehension about Isaac Newton.

Year 6 have a spag revision sheet.

Maths

Friday morning booster has page 60,61,62 of your maths workbook- all questions focussed on area and perimeter.
