MrF

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

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!

Mr F
