As far as we know, many children will be remaining at home for two more weeks before hopefully being allowed to come back to school. We shall find out more later in the government announcement. In the meantime, we will all need to continue to our best with the current situation that we are dealing with.

IT’S THE GRAND FINAL OF THE MASKED SINGER! WHO WILL BE CROWNED CHAMPION?

Today, you are going to finish the half term with a 51 question quiz! All of the questions are based on what you’ve been learning about/producing this half term so it will test your memory, listening and observation skills. Each question gives you 1 minute to answer so there’s plenty of time to think about it. Use the time wisely.

Here’s the timings for when I shall send you the link to play the quiz (Check your class dojo at that time to find the link). We can only have 10 children at a time playing. You will only be allowed to play during the time that is shown below so don’t miss out!

Today:

This morning, can you spend the time that you would usually be completing your English work completing your ‘Inuit’ double page spread. Take a look at Amy and Nelly’s on the Review of the Day as they are amazing!

Maths – Y6s – Please take a look back at any of the questions that you got wrong or found the most difficult this week on your My Mini Maths calculations. The question numbers on all of the My Mini Maths calculations have very similar types of questions on each one. So, if you got question number 26 wrong, take a look at question 26 on My Mini Maths 11, 12 or 13 and try those. You can use your white boards and then check your answers. You don’t need to record anything in your books – it’s just for you to practise any area of calculations, fractions, decimals or percentages that you may have found difficult.

https://myminimaths.co.uk/year-6-arithmetic-practice-papers/

Maths Y5s – Today, you are going to finish your maths for this half term with more practising of adding fractions (including mixed numbers). There isn’t a powerpoint, go straight into the activity but it’s very similar to yesterday. Look carefully at the questions numbers that I would like you to attempt!
