For those of you who are currently isolating but are feeling well enough, here are some activities you can complete at home.

Maths

In maths this week, we are learning how to multiply a 2-digit number by a 1-digit number. Here are the video links for Thursday's and Friday's maths lessons. The worksheet for Friday's activity can be found in the orange box at the bottom of this page labelled, "files".

A good website to practise all your maths skills is https://mathsframe.co.uk/en/resources/resource/292/Montys-Maths-Wall

English

In English, our reading and writing will be based around the 'Stone Age Boy' by Satoshi Kitamura and 'The Iron Man' by Ted Hughes.

The grammar activity for Thursday and Friday is to consider the effect comparative adjectives (+er) and superlative adjectives (est) can have on the reader. Examples of comparative and superlative adjectives are: brighter - brightest; longer - longest; taller - tallest.

You will find an activity in the 'files' section to help you acquire a better understanding of comparative and superlative adjectives.

Friday's English lesson will be to write a setting description using comparative and superlative adjectives. You can write a description of your favourite place: your home; your bedroom; your favourite park; maybe a favourite theme park. An example could be, My favourite park has the tallest slide. It is taller than .......

There are further links below and files to download for more activities.

Hope to see you back in school very soon.

Hi,

If you are isolating and you are well enough please complete the column addition and subtraction calculations under 'files to download'. We are re-visiting these to keep us slick and quick!

I have uploaded the modelled write for the next section of Marcel's diary in 'files to download'. If you are able, you could write the next section where the boys go back and explore the cave. Remember to paint a picture in the reader's mind and include lots of detail.

Here are the links to the cave to give you some inspiration!

Hi,

Happy New Year to you all!

It has been lovely to be back in school with the children. I’m sorry that some of you are still unwell. Hopefully we will all be together again soon!

This week the children have travelled back in time to the Stone Age! They have been making artefacts, including jewellery made out of salt dough and cave paintings.

In English, they have written a diary extract inspired by the wonderful discovery in the caves of Lascaux. They have been on a virtual tour of the cave and have pretended that they were the boy who discovered the treasure inside!

In maths, they have been looking at some Stone Age markings to determine if they are an example of early counting. Their thoughts and ideas have been brilliant! They have also practised their 4 x table in readiness for next week.

I hope you all have a lovely weekend.
