Wrekin Learning – Monday 4th May 2020

Good morning all! I hope you’ve had a great weekend! Mr F and his family have been using their bicycles, going for walks regularly and playing some cricket and football. I hope you have been able to keep active too!

 

TTRS Result: Year 5s won by about 1000 points! Trent high-scored for Y5, whilst Axel and Ash did really well for Y6. I have set up this battle again – can Year 6s beat Year 5?

 

Apparently it’s Star Wars Day – May 4th. I also hear that the new Star Wars film is released to watch at home today – if you have been anticipating this, I hope you enjoy it! https://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/52514904

 

So before you go and watch Star Wars, here are some learning activities to enjoy:

  • Go to TT Rock Stars for THE NEW BATTLE!
  • Year 5 maths is multiplying using the area model, whilst Year 6 maths is simplifying fractions.
  • I always like children to write super setting descriptions in their fiction writing – so here is your English for today from Bitesize Daily
  • Remember to read the latest chapter on Fiction Express and you can also read any of the previous books they have published
  • Your other activity today is from Code Club where you can follow step-by-step instructions to code some great projects. Some of you have already completed these in Code Club with me, so you could go onto Module 2

 

Have a fun day everyone – keep smiling, keep chatting!

Wrekin Learning – Friday 1st May 2020

It’s May! Welcome to May! I hope everyone feels like they have had a good week.

 

Here is some work to keep you busy until the weekend:

Have a lovely weekend! I know some of you have been keeping in touch – I was so pleased to hear this! Keep in touch, but make sure you are using any apps or devices safely and responsibly (your e-safety skills are excellent – use them wisely!)

Wrekin Learning – Thursday 30th April 2020

Good morning Wrekin class! It’s a bit brighter here this morning!

 

I have been sat at my kitchen window a lot recently, quietly watching the birds – we’ve not really spent much time in the past just sitting and watching the garden. We have only seen a few different species of birds – sparrow, starling, pigeon, blue tit and a few buzzards up high – but it has been quite relaxing! Maybe you could find out which birds have been visiting your garden and make a graph!RSPB – Bird info for children

 

  • Remember to do your bit for your team on https://ttrockstars.com/
  • If you haven’t already read Chapter 1 of your new book on Fiction Express read it here.
  • Year 5 Maths is subtracting decimals with a different number of digits and Year 6 is more problem solving. I suggest that you could all start with Year 5 and move onto the problem solving if you would like to!
  • In English punctuation work, learn how to use brackets (BBC), hyphens and dashes. This is a revision for some of you – but a great skill to have nonetheless!
  • If you want extra maths, in particular Year 6 pupils, have a go at this work on the order of operations.
  • And finally your topic-based work for today is RE – you may have seen on the news that many Muslims are experiencing a very different Ramadan this year due to the pandemic Newsround – Ramadan, so I thought it would be a really good idea to study Ramadan Ramadan lesson and write a report with pictures/captions etc – I’d love to see your work!

Have a great day!

Bonjour! I logged onto my Fiction Express student tracker this morning…and well done! Many more of you have been reading the new books! Remember – if you want, you can also read the old books and they have quizzes too!

 

TT Rockstars Update: Year 5 v Year 6! Rocker “Ash” has really pushed the Year 6s on and they are now in the lead!

 

Did you do the minute’s silence yesterday to honour the NHS workers and carers who have died during the virus pandemic?

 

If you have not started to read the new book on Fiction Express – please do so before Chapter 2 comes out on Friday!

 

Your work today will involve some writing. It is important to keep up with writing whilst school is closed.

 

  • PE – Joe Wicks! https://www.youtube.com/user/thebodycoach1
  • English – Here is a good challenge! We all have our favourite days of the week (and our least favourite!) Could you describe the days of the week as if they were people? Think carefully about how each day of the week feels different (you usually have routines where you may prefer some days to others). Send them in – I am intrigued to find out how you have done this task!
  • English punctuation work – https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/z73sf4j – How to use an ellipsis
  • Maths Year 5s are adding decimals with varying numbers of digits, whilst Year 6s are taking on the challenge of problem solving – you may do both if you wish!
  • Science: Mixing, dissolving and separation: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/z6pyvk7

Have a fantastic day,

A Minute’s Silence – A Tribute to NHS Workers

In school, we will be holding a minute’s silence to remember the bravery and pay tribute to the NHS workers who have sadly died during the virus pandemic.

 

We will be holding the silence at 11am, but if you can’t do it then, you could do it with your family later today.

Good morning! It was good to see Boris Johnson back at his desk yesterday – he had a clear message: be patient! You are doing fantastically well, but you may feel like you are fed-up with the restriction on you. As Boris has said, remain patient, continue with your learning and spend time doing things you enjoy within your home with your family!

 

I know we studied the effect of the wildfires on Australian animals earlier in the school year. You did some excellent writing about it! Newsround has put together a special report about the improvements seen in the wildlife in Australia after the wildfires: https://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/52410744 It’s worth a watch – there’s some good news in there!

 

PLEASE remember this week to read Chapter 1 of the new book on Fiction Express. Year 5 pupils should read The Last Guardian and Year 6s should read Neptune’s Trident. Also, please do the quiz and the vote closes TODAY for what happens in the next chapter! Only 3 of you have read these so far! Please read them this week as they are fab books and Chapter 2 is out on Friday!

 

TT Rockstars Update: Year 5 are winning by 700 points! Lots of you have been on there – well done! “Trent” is the top Year 5, whilst “Axel” is leading the way for Year 6!

 

Have a fab day – you are all superstars! Keep up the great work!

Mr F
