Year 6

The children are focussing on phrases and clauses; this includes work on noun phrases and relative clauses. Mrs Wade has been through this work with the children, but remember to look at the examples at the top. The children need to complete pages 12- 14.

Year 5 

The children are continuing to work on relative clauses. These ones are a bit trickier! Pages 18 and 19 need to be completed.

Maths Homework

Mrs Bernasconi has set this on classroom secrets. Year 6 also have a maths SATs  study book and are consolidating their work on fractions . Fractions are a big part of the curriculum in Year 6. If the children struggle over any questions, circle them and we will help them during school time.

Times tables 

Remember it’s the big tables test tomorrow 2nd December. Next week the children need to revise the times table facts and the division facts for 3 and 6 time tables.

Finally a big thank you for the boxes – we had plenty. The children have started making their biomes. Next Thursday and Friday they will be finishing them off so will need any extra ‘bits and bobs’ for then.

Hello Blue Class

I have allocated some tasks on fractions this week on ClassRoom Secrets Kids.

I have spoken to Mrs Benson about what you have been learning over the last week – most have you have tasks, slides and/ or videos on Comparing fractions. There are questions embedded in the videos and slides for you to complete. Don’t forget to make sure you have gone all the way to the end and then gone back to assigned learning to ensure you have allowed the system to register your efforts!

Year 5 and 6 do NOT have the same tasks allocate.

I am looking forward to seeing you again on Monday.

Mrs Bernasconi

Maths homework has been allocated on Classroom Secrets Kids again.

You should all find two new tasks when you log in. This week the focus is multiplication.

Please make sure you get to the end and follow all the instructions. Check back that your answers have fully registered. Please let me know on Monday if you are having any difficulties. We can then look at together on a device at school. Any tasks which are videos or slides have questions embedded in them for you to answer.

Year 5

Homework is page 15 on clauses and phrases.

Year 6

Homework is  page 58-60 focussing on colons and semi-colons.

Next weeks times tables are x4 x 8 

Maths homework has been set for all Year 5 and Year 6 on Classroom Secrets Kids again this week. More than one task has been allocated to each of you, but these are not long tasks.

Arithmetic using the content from previous years has been given to most of you to give you the opportunity to recall and practise that content as we build on that with new learning this year. A cube and square number challenge has also been set for some year 6. Others have been set a task practising  how to divide by 10, 100 and 1,000 which includes slides but there are questions to complete within these.

The Divide by 10, 100 and 1,000 Video Tutorial is there to support anyone who is feeling less confident so this one item is optional.

Maths homework should be completed by Tuesday 15th November.

Well done to those those who attempted everything and especially those that completed everything last week.

It was disappointing that so much of the homework was left unattempted last week.

Blue class, you need to come to say to us if you have any problems with your home work. No-one has come to with us with any concerns over the content of the work or with technical problems accessing it so far. Please check if you missed any tasks last week.
