Good morning – it is the end of another week – we have four weeks of term left. Although it has been a long time since I’ve seen some of you (around 3 months), does it feel to you that in some ways time has gone quickly? I think that for those of you in regular routines and those completing your school work each day, the day might go a little bit quicker. What do you think?

Friday Work:

• Have a go at some of the Maths Weekly Challenges: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zbh4ydm

I hope you have a lovely weekend – the weather is due to brighten up before getting quite warm next week!

Good morning!

Some Year 6 pupils will be in class today – but I will continue to set your work online to keep your learning flowing!

I know that not all pupils are not coming in, but I hope that you and your parents have discussed the reasons why – it is a very unsure time at the moment, and the most important thing is children’s and families’ safety and happiness.

Hello again Wrekin Class!

I am excited about the football restarting tonight! As you know, I really do love football and I know some of you do too. With football restarting it feels like some things are moving back towards ‘normality’ (even though there will be a new normal in the future!) What are you looking forward to returning or changing?

Furthermore, I know that some of you are returning to school during the next week. As I have said before, it is very different; the tables and chairs are spaced apart, lots of furniture has been removed to make space, the teachers have an area at the front of the class which is marked out and you have to line up 2m apart. I am sure that you will get used to it, but it is worth thinking about now. For those not returning, the school work will still be on the website and I will be in contact with you!

Some work for Wednesday: (the Y5 video won’t show on this page for some reason today but will open on another tab- sorry!)

Good morning!

It was lovely to see some classrooms with children in last week when several Reception pupils returned. Year 1 pupils are welcomed back today! Later in the week, I am really looking forward to seeing some of the Year 6s!

The classroom is very different: there is less furniture, nothing out on the tables, the desks are spaced 2m apart and there are some markings on the floor. I have been thinking about your transition to Year 7 – so please start thinking about questions you want to ask and any worries you might have!

Anyway, here is some work today:

• Year 5 Maths:

  Worksheets: Lesson 1 Answers – Understand percentages 2019 Lesson 1 – Understand percentages 2019 Lesson videos and activities: BBC Bitesize Daily

Work for today:

• Maths – Calculating Time in Football

More beavers are being released in Devon. My challenge to you is to do a factfile about Beavers and the effects they have on their environment – it may surprise you! Please send them in!

Mr F

Good morning to all of you and your families!

Don’t forget about the extra challenges each day posted at the bottom of the page!

Have you noted that the football season restarts one week from today? And, of course, the first match will feature the most wonderful of all teams: Aston Villa! The good news is that around 30 of the 90 remaining matches will be on ‘free-to-air’ broadcasts on channels such as BBC, Sky Pick and Amazon Prime.

For those of you not interested in football, there are a range of other sports creeping back towards their own restarts. Maybe soon you can start playing sports again too! I have one piece of sporting news from the class: Ellie ran 8 miles this week with her father! For a 10-year-old this is an amazing achievement – well done Ellie! Maybe she can represent the school in cross-country next year!

Here are some learning activities for today:

• Year 5 Maths: Rounding Decimals

  Bitesize Lesson Support   Lesson 3 – Rounding decimals 2019 Lesson 3 Answers – Rounding decimals 2019
