• In English, you will be creating characters in story writing

Daily Challenge:

When I spoke with some of you before half term, some pupils wanted some extra work to do! So  I will be putting on some extra daily challenges! You can choose to do them if you wish!

Today is a maths game – you can play it against your parent/carer or even an older brother or sister! It is designed to get you to think quickly and have fun!

It is called Strike It Out and is a simple strategy game using calculation skills https://nrich.maths.org/6589

This challenge is from nRich and is ‘Live’ (meaning that they have posted it for children to have a go and submit solutions or answers for how to solve the problem or how to play the game) You can submit your solutions on the website itself, using the Submit Solution link – ask your grown ups’ permission, of course!

Have a fab day and enjoy the sunshine!

Bonjour! I hope everyone is well!

Did you see my link to the Virtual School Games on our Class News Page? Why don’t you have a go at thr Dodgeball Challenge and ask your parents to submit you entry?

I have been looking at different resources to help you learn and refresh things a little bit! So I have set some science from Oak Academy today. Oak Academy was set up a few weeks back by the Department for Education to help teachers with home learning. I have been keeping an eye on it, and seeing where it would fit in, so I hope you like it! The video/lesson is done by an actual teacher, and there is a quiz at the end.

• In English today, you will be using semi-colons
• Year 5 Maths is more Adding Fractions (you can never have too much!) Year 5 Video        Lesson 2 – Add fractions 2019          Lesson 2 Answers – Add fractions 2019
• Year 6 Maths is Multiplying Decimals Year 6 Video        Lesson 2 – Multiply decimals by integers 2019           Lesson 2 Answers – Multiply decimals by integers 2019
• In Science, take a look at The Oak Academy lesson on Animal Kingdoms

I would value any of your comments on the Oak Academy lesson with this https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/G29F395 Please complete it, so I can understand how you feel about the lesson!

Have a great day!

Mr F
