Have a lovely day, Mr Field

Hello one and all! I hope you enjoyed writing your reports yesterday. I was pleased to receive some excellent examples from you – thank you very much!

The Year 6s are just ahead of the Year 5s in the most recent TTRS Battle. Who will win?

You may have seen the Prime Minister on TV in the last few days announcing new steps around the Covid 19 lockdown. It can be very hard for you to understand some of the ‘political language’ so here is a super guide from Newsround.

And in some other news related to the virus and its effects, Newsround has published some research about children’s sleep during lockdown. Please read it. How is your sleep lately?

Work for today then:

• Battle to the top on TTRS!
• Log in to Fiction Express to read the latest chapter in your book – it came out on Friday! Please do the quiz too!
• Year 5 Maths is Equivalent Fractions Year 5 Answers Year 5 Worksheet

• Year 6 Maths is more Multiplying Fractions Year 6 Answers Year 6 Worksheet

• You all want to be powerful politicians or Head Boy / Girl of The Corbet don’t you? Well, the good news is that you are writing a powerful speech in English to help you get started!
• As you will know, we have done lots of thinking about pollution, and in particular, plastics. Here is a Geography lesson to help you understand a bit more about sustainability and plastics.

Have a great day!

Mr Field!

Good morning Wrekin class!

I hope you are all well and feeling safe and happy. I will set your work today in maths and then a small project about VE Day – which hopefully you will be celebrating in some way tomorrow! I am setting fewer subjects so you can focus on understanding VE Day – the government thinks it is very important so dedicated tomorrow to it (Bank Holiday). It’s just a shame that we can’t hold street parties and parades. If you know somebody in your family or close to your family who was alive on VE Day, why not give them a call and ask them about it!

So, your links today:

• Maths – for Year 5 is perimeter and for Year 6 is more adding and subtracting fractions
• For your other work today, please write a report or fact-file about VE Day. Think about why it was important, how it felt, what people did and what happened after it! Here are some places you can find out more: Newsround, Primary Facts, Imperial War Museum. There will also be programmes on TV and catch-up to look at too.

I will not be setting work on VE Day/Bank Holiday, but if you feel inspired, please continue to work on your VE Day project.

Best wishes, enjoy finding out about VE Day!

Mr F

Good morning! I hope you enjoyed the sunshine yesterday. I also hope you managed to have a go at designing a fitness plan, which I could share with the class.

The weather will be even warmer today, so make sure you get your sun cream on if you are out!

The coronavirus has affected many businesses, but one type of business which is really struggling is zoos. Here is an interesting article about how zoos are copinghttps://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/52483218

So, some work for the day:

• Year 6 are currently way ahead of Year 5 in the Times Tables Rock Stars Battle – do your bit for your team! Your year group needs you!
• Year 5 maths is division with remainders and Year 6 maths is adding and subtracting fractions.
• I am posting two English lessons – you can either or, preferably, both! The topics are alliteration and relative clauses.
• Another activity today is science: please write a report about how plants reproduce.

Have a lovely day everyone. Is anybody growing anything? Let me know!

Mr F

Bonjour! Bonjour!

I do hope that all of you and your families are feeling happy and safe. There’s good news this week: that lovely warm sunshine will return! https://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/sy4. But be warned – Sunday will be rather chilly for this time of the year – just 9 degrees!

• Joe Wicks, as you may know, has had another operation on his wrist/hand. This has meant that his wife has been helping him – basically, Joe does all the talking and Rosie does the demonstration – it works well! https://www.youtube.com/user/thebodycoach1
• At a local school, one of the teachers has been challenging the pupils to do a series of workout/exercise plans. For example, doing a 1km walk, 50 star jumps, 20 squats, 10 minutes on a  trampoline and planking for 1 minute on Day 1, then increasing this during the week. So, my challenge to you is to create an exercise plan for a day, then send it to me and I can then post them on this website, to share with your friends! Can you come up with a brilliant exercise plan?
• English today is all about prepositions and a fun session about personification.
• Year 5 maths is multiplying 4-digit by 2-digit numbers, and Year 6 is ordering fractions.
• And, in Geography, here is a lesson I think is very interesting about global trade and activity for all of you budding entrepreneurs out there!

Please make time to stop and think about how you feel and if you have any worries. Please talk to your parents and carers. Some of you are staying in touch, I know, by using video calling and gaming platforms, which is fantastic (but remember your -e-safety rules!). If you want some advice or read about something to help your worries or anxiety visit this site from Childline. As an extra activity, if you want to come up with a ‘5 top tips’ poster, I’d love to see them, and I can share them on here so you can help your friends!

Have a good day, enjoy a bit of sunshine!

Mr F
