Spellings

For all weekly Jaguar spellings, they can be accessed on Spelling Shed, which the children all have usernames and passwords for. The children can also be practising their understanding of the Y3&4 and Y5&6 expected spellings lists, which they have a copy of in the back of their homework books.

Here are the spellings for this week:

Y5 – exercise, experience, experiment, extreme, famous, favourite, February, forwards, fruit, grammar

Y6 – (Homophones) aisle / isle, aloud / allowed, alter / altar, bridle / bridal, cereal / serial

SNIP Spellings Y6 – change, jumped, leave, often, opened, started, today, tries, turned

 

SNIP Spellings – Esme, Sophie and Alfie – brother, house, many, night, that, took, were, what, with

 

SNIP Spellings – Dylan and Ollie – almost, asked, began, does, found, I’m, know, stopped and walk

Mental Maths Learning

Frog Club – Mental Maths

It has been clear since the resumption of school that the pupils in Jaguar need to develop their confidence, speed and rapid recall of their times tables. Therefore, we are introducing a maths programme called Frog Club in Jaguar class.  This is an initiative that encourages children to have faster recall of number facts.The programme starts with the 10 club and goes through to 99 club and then onto Superstars Division and Superstars Fractions.

By learning these number facts, we really hope that this programme will help your child carry out calculations more easily as they learn to use and apply their knowledge.

Each week, on a Friday, the children will have 5 minutes to complete the test for the club they have been assigned. In order to move on to the next club, they must answer all questions correctly in the time.

Below is a list of all the clubs and the content covered in each.

You can help your child at home by practising fast recall of the number facts in each club.  Click on the link to access each test. They can also use other maths online resources to help them to develop and practise their speed.
