Maths homework 10th November

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.

Digital Leaders

Fun with a Robot

Our Year 6 Digital Leaders have been meeting to plan how they will encourage curiosity and enthusiasm for technology as well as digital safety in our school.

They also found time to indulge in some technological fun themselves with a robot. They discovered he can be programmed to build, select, talk and even recognise individuals.

Blue Class Maths Homework

Maths homework tasks have been allocated on ClassRoom Secrets Kids .  . 

The focus for everyone  is on factors and multiples this week as that is something that we have been learning about this week and just before half term. I have set tasks based on assessment of learning in class, so not everyone has the same tasks. These tasks should be completed by Wednesday 9th November.

(Be careful – there is also a Classroom Secrets website which is a sister site for planning. Your log in will not work on this site.)

Your log-in page looks like this.

Everyone has been given a new log -in this year so the only tasks on there will be the ones for the homework this week. Everybody has been given an opportunity to see what the page looks like. Remember to follow the links and the bottom of the activities to ensure the site registers that the task is complete.

A delicious end to the week- year 5

Whilst the year 6 have been having a fabulous time at Arthog, it has been lovely getting to know the year 5s. As part of the  food technology curriculum, the children have created  ‘a best of British of British’ lunch today: a cottage pie, and apple and blackberry crumble with custard or ice cream. Most of the food was locally sourced – thank you for the apples everyone- and it was all British!
The children enjoyed eating together and everyone polished off their cottage pie and discovered they liked their own home  cooking.

Dazzling day 4

Another great day at Arthog. After yesterday’s rain we have had blue skies and warm sunshine.
The day started with raft building where the children learnt how to create a large raft which could support nine. Both rafts floated amazingly and the children loved paddling across the lake.

In the afternoon, we went to the beach to complete the conservation challenge. You will find out more about this when they share their Arthog diaries. Once again the children impressed the Arthog instructors who rewarded them with a campfire on the beach and toasted marshmallows.

Photos to follow when the internet is fully functioning again.

Wet Wednesday at Arthog

We have dried out the cameras now – here are a few of the pictures.

Everyone declared that today was even better than yesterday. The instructors are blown away by what the children have achieved, how they have challenged themselves and how supportive and encouraging they are of each other. Year 6 really are following the Claverley mission to live of their BEST lives!

Everyone was soon warm after a shower and roast dinner. We finished the day with hot chocolate and marshmallows.

Wednesday at Arthog

We have had another wonderful day. Year 6 have just said that they particularly enjoyed tipping Mrs Colin-Stokes and me out of our canoe this morning…

We have all been gorge walking too – we all have lots of wet clothes to bring home for the washing machine.

Photos later in the evening when the camera is dry….
