Friday: 

Hi Class 4!

There are a couple of activities attached above for you to complete today - a comprehension activity about Beowulf and some bullets points work linked to our learning earlier in the week.  Tomorrow is our maths revisit day in school, so this might be a good time for you to complete the homework for this week from your CGP books if you have them.  Don't worry if you haven't got yours yet - they are waiting in school for you when you return! I have also assigned you some activities on Classroom Secrets Kids to complete to revise some of our learning in maths and SPaG- please let me know if you are unsure of your password or are struggling to access these!  You could also use the time today to continue to work on your 'Ice Matters' booklet or to complete any unfinished work.  Have fun! I am looking forward to seeing most of you back in school next week! Mrs Bennett 

Thursday: 

Maths: Please complete the maths worksheet for your year group.  Year 6 children will need to use the following link for their video rather than the link above, as their work is a recap of learning from the Autumn term: https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning?year=year-6&term=autumn

English: Please complete your Beowulf newspaper articles and continue to work on your 'Ice Matters' pack. There are also word searches linked to the spellings for your year group attached above.

Wednesday: 

Maths: There is no White Rose Maths activity for Year 5 today as normally you would be at swimming.  Year 6 - please use the worksheet provided and access the video with the same name from the link above.  I have also included some 7x table activities for both Year 5 & 6 to have a go at.  

English:  Please use the planning that you produced yesterday to write your newspaper report about how Beowulf defeated Grendel.  I would love it if you could email some of your finished work to me so that I can share it with the Class 4 children in school.  Year 6 children - you also have spelling and handwriting work to complete today.

You can also complete any unfinished work on your 'Ice Matters' booklet - some of you have already shared some lovely work with me linked to this project!

Tuesday: Hello Class 4!! I hope that you are all ok - we are really missing you in school. Please feel free to email us to say hello if you would like to!

The resources for your work today can be found above.

Maths: Please select the worksheet for your year group and use the link at the top of the page to find the video with the same title as your worksheet.

English: In school today we will be reviewing the story of Beowulf. We will be talking about how Beowulf defeated Grendel in Heorot Hall and will be thinking about how we could report this success to the people of Denmark.  We will be talking about the features of a newspaper report and will be planning our own report about Beowulf's success. You can use the PowerPoint and resources above to help you to think about newspaper report features and to start to plan your own report. We will be writing our reports on Wednesday in school, so save writing your actual report until then!  You can also continue to work on your 'Ice Matters' booklet if you have time today.

Year 5 Spelling: In school Year 5 will have a spellings focus session today and will complete their handwriting activity - these are attached above. Year 6 children will have this job to do tomorrow.

Science: Our Science lesson this afternoon will be our final one in this topic. We will be focusing on the lifecycle of a bird and will then be moving on to compare all of the lifecycles that we have learnt about.  Use the PowerPoint presentation to learn about the lifecycle of a bird. You could also watch this video to learn more about the different parts of an egg: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDv0Nnyb1WA

Once you have done this, write a paragraph to compare the lifecycles of a bird, mammal, amphibian, insect and plant.

Don't forget to get in touch if you have any questions or if you would like to share what you have been doing! Have a nice day! Mrs Bennett

Monday: Your learning resources for today are listed above.  There is less Maths for Year 6 than Year 5, as Year 6 would be at Forest School in the afternoon this week and Year 5 have an extra maths lesson.  The morning Maths lesson is for Year 5 and 6 together as it is a recap session for Year 6.  Please use the Year 5 link to find the video.  Your Flashback 4 activities for the week are attached, please complete one each day so that you don't get ahead of when you will be back in school!  Your spelling lists for this week are also attached so that you can start to learn your words. You could also ask someone to test you on your spellings from last week too if possible - please let me know your score! For English, please complete the SPaG work attached for today and also continue with the 'Ice Matters' booklet. Have fun and remember to get in touch if you need any help! Mrs Bennett 

Friday: Please complete the correct spelling word search for your year group.  The SPaG work on writing notes links to the work that we completed in school earlier in the week - I have attached the PowerPoint from our last lesson to remind you what to do.  The reading comprehension links to our Science work on Jane Goodall - please read the information and answer the questions.
