Week 12- 29.6.20

Friday 2nd July

Morning everyone. Thank you your beautiful art work some of you have sent. I will put some of the photographs on Class Dojo. 

Today I thought you could all rest your brains a bit after you've done your Maths and English and instead exercise your bodies instead, so, you can either do a Joe Wicks work out or have a go at the dance video I have added. Year 6 will be doing it in school too at 9am! 

Have fun and have a good weekend.

Maths

 

Good morning Year 5,

 

Today for Maths I would like you to complete page 14 in your new home learning books.

You will be adding and subtracting mentally. That means you should be working out the sums in your head and then writing down the answers.

Some of them are tricky so read the questions carefully. 

 

Send us your pictures on ClassDojo. We love to see them.

Have a go at completing these challenges too!

 

 

 

Friday 3.7.20

Hi year five.  It’s Friday J

In English today we are looking at addressing the reader as a persuasive device. 

Your workbook activity is p55 (prefixes and suffixes.)

Prefixes and suffixes are super useful for changing the meanings of words, but what are they? A prefix is a group of letters (or an affix) that's added to the beginning of a word, and a suffix is an affix that's added to the end of a word. Prefixes can change the meaning of a word.

Extra challenge:  Design a poster of the persuasive techniques that you have learnt.

Wednesday work

Hi everyone. If you fancy doing something 'arty' today, why not have a go at creating some art using natural materials you might find outside on your garden or at the park. Do you remember when we did the Andy Goldsworthy sculptures on the playground last term? Well, I am including some photographs to give you some ideas. You have all week to do this. Please send me your pictures; I'd love to see them.
