Panda Class learning w/c 1st June 2020

I hope you had a good half term week.

In maths this week we are looking at halving quantities by sharing items into two equal groups. Children should share small quantities out fairly. Talk about unfair sharing, where one person has more/fewer.

Once children are confident with halving small quantities, they can explore sharing between 3 or 4 people. They will notice that there are sometimes leftovers and may come up with how to resolve this. Can you share the left overs?
Provide children with opportunities to share amounts around the home and garden.

The Doorbell Rang story book by Pat Hutchins puts sharing into context of everyday life.

Bean Thirteen is another story which shows sharing.

If you want to find the stories read by different people than the ones I’ve found, feel free.

Phonics – Ruth Miskin’s Read Write Inc is still online – I have put a link to the speed sounds which would be really good to revisit frequently.

In writing children could write a diary of what they have been doing recently.
Encourage children to:
• leave finger spaces between words
• use good ‘pincer’ pencil grip
• start with a capital and finish with a full stop.

Have a lovely week.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION: Wider opening of school from 8th June

Dear parents and carers,
The governors of the school have agreed that the school will be ready for wider opening from Monday 8th June. We are still waiting for the risk assessment to be signed off by the local authority but don’t anticipate that this will cause any further delay.
Monday 1st June – school open daily to keyworker children who have pre-booked                                        from 8:30am
Monday 8th June – school open to nursery and reception children 9:15-12:00                                               Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday
Monday  15th June – school open to year 1 children 9:00-12:15 Monday, Tuesday,                                        Thursday, Friday
Urgent Action: please dojo your class teacher if your child will be returning on the 8th (nursery and reception) or 15th (year 1)
We are now in a position where we need to collect more definite numbers as to which children will be returning to school when we partially reopen.  Please send your child’s class teacher a message on dojo indicating whether you will or will not be sending your child back to school on these dates. It would be helpful to know as soon as possible but certainly by Sunday 31st May as we will be training staff in school on Monday 1st . As stated in the letter you can change your mind at a later date. Once we have your response, we will be able to start preparing groups and bubbles for your children to be placed in.
Thank you very much for your co-operation.

Highlights From Home Y5&6 – Thursday 21st May 2020

Hi everyone, well it’s been quiet back in school today with some of the children from Myddle and Baschurch schools. They practise their times tables, spellings and focused on any activities that their teachers had organised for them, before doing some art work this afternoon.

It looks like you’ve all been busy at home too with some excellent continuations of your Greek myths (tomorrow will be the final day of your story!)  The Y6s investigated their perimeter problem well this morning whilst the Y5s continued to study the properties of 3D shapes. Well done to those who took part and were successful in their Kahoot maths quiz this morning.

Amy has made a fantastic start to her ‘Parthenon’ project in D&T, which you will see on this ‘Highlights From Home’ page.
Thursday’s 21.5.20 Highlights from Home Y5&6

If anybody else is interested in taking part in Friday/Saturday’s family fun quiz then let me know as soon as possible. So far we’ve got Heidi, Zoe, Ruby, Henry, Elizabeth, Cassie, Rhys, Amy, Bethany, Isla, Megan and Jack taking part with the children whose names are in bold letters the ones that I’ve received a question about.

Have a good evening.

Rhino Daily Challenge – Maths

Today there are two challenge to solve involving concepts of time. Try and complete at least one, or why try and solve both. Make sure you read what to do carefully.

Challenge 1:

How Many Times?

On a digital 24 hour clock, at certain times, all the digits are consecutive (in counting order). You can count forwards or backwards.

For example: 1:23 

How many times like this are there between midnight and 7:00?
How many are there between 7:00 and midday?
How many are there between midday and midnight?

Top Tip: Remember to try and work systematically in order to be sure you have found all possible answers…
Challenge 2:

Two Clocks

Sam and Julie are friends. Both of them have rather odd clocks at home.
In Sam’s bedroom there is an old alarm clock which his Dad had thrown out because it had lost its minute hand. Although it has only its small hand, Sam can still tell the time using it. He can tell the hour, such as midday. He can tell when it is time to get up, time to go to school and time to turn his light out at night.

four clock faces with only hour hands

Which clock is showing it is midday?
At what time does Sam get up?
At what time does Sam go to school?
At what time is Sam supposed to turn out his light?

In Julie’s hall there is a very old clock which lost its hour hand a long time ago.

grandfather clock with minute hand at 25 past

School finishes at half past three and it takes Julie at least half an hour to get home. Sometimes she goes to the shop on the way, and sometimes she leaves school a bit later. When she first gets home Julie always looks at the clock in the hall to see what time it is.
One week these were the times she saw:

clocks with just minute hands
On which day was it raining so she hurried straight home?
On which day did she go to the shop to buy some sweets on the way home?
On which day did she stay at school to practise in the band?
On which day did she play with Sam for about half an hour before setting off for home?
On which day did her teacher keep the class in for five minutes?

Y5&6 Working From Home – Thursday 21st May 2020

https://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/news/watch_newsround

Tomorrow, I shall be at Myddle all day so I won’t be able to respond to you as quickly as usual. If any of you require any new books from school, eg, maths books, please let me know and I shall have them ready for you in the reception area of school for you to pick up. I shall put tomorrow’s learning from home on the school website later tonight and send you any links that you may need on Class Dojo too, just in case you can’t access them from the powerpoint provided. Hopefully you won’t have any other problems through.

Well done on your hard work for today. We’ve had some excellent Greek myth story starts, fantastic thinking in maths and some real creativity with the art work that a few of you have produced. Here’s today’s ‘Highlights From Home’ for you to enjoy.
