Hi all

I really hope you enjoyed making our clay pots today, I know I did!

As in Mr Field’s class, your extra effort on homework is now going to be rewarded with Class Dojos. Thankyou to everyone who tries their best each week – keep up the good work!

Spellings – this week, I have not set a specific spelling list as we have come to the end of our half term of spellings, but am giving you some revision games:

Play this game (click on Practice/Test), which gives a random list of words for your age group

Year 5 – https://spellingframe.co.uk/spelling-rule/75/62-Random-selection-of-12-words-taken-from-years-5-and-6-word-list 

Year 4 –https://spellingframe.co.uk/spelling-rule/74/36-Random-selection-of-12-words-taken-from-years-3-and-4-word-list

There are also games on those links to help you practice too!

Reading: Remember to be reading to an adult each day. This should be for roughly 15 minutes a time.

English –  For English, I would like you to begin to think of your ideas for your story you will be writing in class next week. You will be writing your own fantasy story about a toy that comes to life (like in our gorilla book we have been reading in class). Start to think about what animal the toy may be that comes to life and what adventures you could go on together.

We also need to remember to keep on top of times tables at https://ttrockstars.com/

Have a lovely weekend,

Miss Lloyd-Jones

Happy Friday Stiperstones!

Here is your homework for this week:

Maths:

Once again we would like you to use Times Tables Rockstars to practise your times tables.

https://play.ttrockstars.com/

Science – 

Please can you write a fact file about a chosen type of Invertebrate. e.g. you could write a fact file about arachnids or molluscs! You will probably need to research these further as we did not go into a lot of detail about each category in our Science lesson.

Reading:

Please continue to read for at least 15 minutes every day, to an adult if possible.

Spellings:

For this weeks class spellings, once again please see the Stiperstones Class Spelling Page.

You should have completed this homework by next Thursday.

Please conduct some research (use the internet or books if you like) to try to find out what ‘vertebrates’ are. I will give you a clue, they are a class of animal!

Hi everyone, I hope you are all well, staying safe and having fun too!

Here are the links to your work for this week like usual:

Each week we will be continuing with the daily maths lessons on White Rose, again the videos for each lesson each day can be accessed through these links:

Year 4 –https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-4/

Year 5 – https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-5/

Once on that link, you should find the Summer term week 10 (Week 29th June) pink section.

Once you are sure you are on Summer Term Week 10 (Week 29th June), then you need to follow each lesson for this week. The videos follow this pattern:

• Lesson 1 on Monday
• Lesson 2 on Tuesday
• Lesson 3 on Wednesday
• Lesson 4 on Thursday
• Lesson 5 on Friday (this will be the maths challenge)

All can be found in Summer Term week 10 via the above links.

There is one lesson per day, and please stick to this, then we are all in the same place, as next Monday there will be a new week to access.

Remember , like the last few weeks, for each lesson, you firstly watch the lesson video on the left through the usual links to White Rose, however – remember there is no longer be a  ‘Get the activity’ button on the right, from now on – you will need to click on my separate links for the worksheets and answer sheets (see below). You can either print the activity sheets OR complete the activity in your books or on paper. You can still check your work after you have finished or ask an adult to help mark your work with you.

Here are the worksheets and answers – they are in folders below. The best thing is to download each folder now for your year group and then within the folders are the worksheets and answers for each day this week Monday to Thursday. Remember Friday will be the challenge on the White Rose video page.

Year 4 Maths folders for the whole week

Y4-Week-10-Worksheets

Y4-Week-10-Answers

Year 5 Maths folders for the whole week

Y5-Week-10-Worksheets

Y5-Week-10-Answers

Once again – Friday will be the maths challenge accessed through main links like usual

Remember – if you are running out of room in your books,  you can always contact the school by phone or email ( Mrs Winwood – admin ) and you can come to the office to collect one.

Reading and Writing

For reading, the instructions are the same this week – each day you will still need to access ‘Fiction Express’ you will all have received a log in to access the website from Mrs Winwood – if you have not had your log in information for Fiction Express, or if you are struggling to access the site, please contact Mrs Winwood.

Once you have logged on, you will need to access the new book online that we will all read together (each week I will continue to choose a new book for you to read).  You will  complete a little quiz each day after the chapter (the link for quiz each day will be on the same webpage as the chapter for the book).

This is the link to our next book called ‘Pants on Fire!’. It is a funny story and I hope you enjoy!

https://en.fictionexpress.com/book/pants-on-fire/

Once again, you will see that there are 5 chapters, one for each day of the week. To read each chapter, open the link above, click the little arrow pointing down next to the chapter you are on (so today will be Chapter 1 as it is Monday), and then click the ‘Read’ button.

So, you will read :

• Chapter 1 on Monday
• Chapter 2 on Tuesday
• Chapter 3 on Wednesday
• Chapter 4 on Thursday
• Chapter 5 on Friday

After reading each chapter, you will complete the little quiz for that day.

There are also some reading comprehension questions and writing activities in a booklet  to work through after reading each chapter. Here are the links to each activity booklet for each day. Please ensure you complete some of the writing work for each chapter.

Please note – The booklets will say Week 1, Week 2 etc. on them, but we are using these as Chapter 1 day 1, Chapter 2 day 2 etc. if you can not print the activity book, do not worry! you can always complete the tasks in your exercise books or on paper. I understand that there is a lot in each booklet, so try your best – I understand that you may not get a whole booklet done each day, and this is okay as long as you have done some of the writing tasks!

 If you have any problems accessing work, you can always contact Mrs Winwood at school.

Chapter 1 activities (Monday) activities-pants-on-fire-chapter-1

Chapter 2 Activities (Tuesday) activities-pants-on-fire-chapter-2

Chapter 3 Activities (Wednesday) activities-pants-on-fire-chapter-3

Chapter 4 Activities (Thursday) activities-pants-on-fire-chapter-4

Tip! – Where you see the ‘Quiz’ button for each chapter, you will also see a ‘glossary’ button. If you do not understand the meaning of any words in the story, check here in the glossary. This will help with the meaning of some new words!

So to recap – each day for reading and writing, you will:

1. go to this link for our new book
2. first read the correct chapter for that day (click on ‘read’ button next to each chapter)
3. then complete the short quiz for that chapter (click on ‘quiz’ button next to each chapter)
4. then click on the correct activity booklet (above) and complete the comprehension questions and some of the grammar and writing activities for that chapter (if you can not print, don’t worry! you can complete these in your exercise books).

 BBC Bitesize English Lessons

As we started last week, I would like you to complete BBC Bitesize English each day. These are really beneficial lessons for you Stiperstones, as they cover a good range of English skills including some valuable grammar and punctuation lessons.

Like last week, here is the link below – click on this link each day – click on your relevant class (Year 4 or Year 5 ) and then select the ‘English’ lesson – please do this each day:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/dailylessons 

Feel free to do other lessons from the BBC Bitesize website each day – these are really fun too!

Extra optional activities (possible afternoon activities)

For any other activities, including afternoon tasks, you can access this link below which will take you to Classroom secrets ‘Home Learning Timetable’ – you can click on the relevant week and then select your year group.

TIP ! You may find it easier to access this link first each day, check the daily timetable and choose your activities from this, and THEN decide where you will fit in your reading /writing (Fiction Express), BBC Bitesize English and maths lessons (White Rose) within this timetable.

https://kids.classroomsecrets.co.uk/home-learning-timetable/

There really are some fun things on this Classroom Secrets timetable such as cooking and science activities – take a look!

As always – Please remember to ensure that you are still completing the usual daily tasks:

• Practising your spellings (see our class spelling page of our school website to see your weekly spelling lists) and have a spelling test each week with an adult to see how you got on.
• Also practise your times tables each day, both multiplication and division facts – e.g. you should learn that 20 ÷ 5 = 4 as well as 5 x 4= 20 so when practising, ask an adult to help you practise and test you on both multiplication and division (you can also use Times Tables Rock stars for this – the ‘Sound check’ part of Times Tables Rock stars will really help with your speed!).
• Please also read to an adult each day (this could be the chapter of our book on Fiction Express if you like, or you can read this to yourself and read any other book you are reading at home to an adult)

Once again – I am sorry to be still reminding you about these things each week, but remember they are really really important parts of your learning!

You can also continue to take part in the Joe Wicks (Body Coach) daily workout. These work outs are still live at 9:00 am each weekday morning and are available to catch up with each day on YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAxW1XT0iEJo0TYlRfn6rYQ

Please get in touch with school by sending Mrs Winwood an email If you have any questions accessing any of the online work. Remember, you can also send over anything you have done and you would like me to see!

Stay safe everyone!
