Wrekin Work Wednesday 1st April

Happy Wednesday everyone!

I hope you have been able to write some excellent stories – remember to edit them! If you wrote them over the last two days, it is a good idea to go back over them today as this means that you are re-visiting it with ‘fresh eyes’.

  • 9am Joe Wicks Body Coach TV https://www.youtube.com/user/thebodycoach1
  • English – I have set two assignments on Reading Eggspress https://readingeggspress.com/ I have noticed that many children are completing these, so thank you! If you have not completed these Reading Eggspress challenges, I do leave them active until the following Sunday, so feel free to catch up!
  • Maths – https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-6/ Please complete the protractor work: Week 2, Lesson 3, Step 1 THEN Education City – Protractor skills work
  • History – Use this website The School Run – Maya to do more research on The Ancient Maya. Then make an information poster to show off ten amazing facts, picures, diagrams and more! Please send in a photo of your work!

Wrekin Work Tuesday 31st March 2020

Bonjour! Well done for completing your activities yesterday! I hope you had a pleasant day.

You may have noticed this week’s spellings on the Class Spelling Page!

Activities for today:

  • Spellings – See the Wrekin spelling page for this week’s spelling rules – if you feel very enthusiastic, you could have a go at both! Remember to do Look, Say, Cover, Write, Check, put them into sentences and then get an adult to test you – try to build this into your daily activities.
  • English – follow on writing from the previous day (see yesterday’s post if you missed it!)
  • Maths – See Education City – Maths Tuesday 31st March – for your activities today.
  • Science – A revision on Evolution and Inheritance on Education City. You can access each activity on-screen and complete the work into your exercise books – as neatly as possible of course! Once you have seen the Learn Screen about fossils, do a research report about a famous type of fossil, e.g. ammonites OR a famous person who found fossils!

Wrekin Pupil Work Monday 3th March

Good morning – I hope you had a good weekend! The weather has cooled down, but please try to get outside into the garden each day for some fresh air!

Tasks for today:

  • 9am – PE with Joe – I know I keep adding this, but it is great! My children love it because Joe Wicks is really engaging and his activities are fun…and they get the heart beating fast! https://www.youtube.com/user/thebodycoach1
  • English – rather than using Education City or Reading Eggspress today, I would like to set you a story writing challenge. I am going to give you a story starter and I would like you to write a story (this will be today and tomorrow’s English!)     Keeping watch at the side of the ship, George was tiring; his eyes weary from constantly searching the horizon, were they also playing tricks on him?  What was that waving from the rocks? 
  • Maths – I really like the White Rose maths lessons as they have a useful video and then some worksheets. Remember to click on the correct lesson as there are several on there- click on the ‘Week 1’ menu! These can be copied into your exercise books. You can do both Year 5 and Year 6 maths if you wish!
  • French – Use this activity to learn vocabulary for classroom items (Scroll down to ‘Classroom Labelling in French’ it is the fifith activity down the page)  – then draw a picture of each and write the Englisha and French translation next to it! http://www.crickweb.co.uk/ks2french.html

Pupil Work – George’s Easter Writing!

Thanks George! George has been keeping up his writing this week – he has completed the Easter writing activity I set earlier in the week! It’s a great read, George!

I am sure he won’t mind me sharing it – please remember that you can all send work in to me via Mrs Winwood’s email address!
