Division tutorial

I hope this helps! Division can feel very confusing at times.

An underwater scene

Follow this tutorial to create your own underwater scene 

Three houses

Some days you might be feeling a bit wobbly. This is absolutely normal and we all have wobbly days, because we miss our friends and miss being at school. When you have a wobbly day, have a go at doing the house of worries, good things and dreams. It might help you to write, draw or talk about your feelings. You don't need to share them here, but share them with your family.

Materials and their properties

There is an interesting video here that I think lots of you will enjoy https://www.stem.org.uk/resources/elibrary/resource/30642/what-stuff-does

It shows different states of matter, such as rocks in a quarry and ice sculptures. It shows lots of practical uses of solids, liquids and gases. Why not watch it and talk about it with your families?

 

Learning at home 11th May

Head to the class page of the school website for this week's learning at home grid. 

Here is the image for writing this week.

Monday: Question time

Where did her journey begin?

Why was it ‘unexpected’?

Where will she go on her adventure?

What different things will she encounter?

How will she get back home?

How might she be feeling about the adventure?

What will her parents be thinking?

Tuesday: Sentence challenge

Verbs are actions/doing words. Can you think of a verb that would match with the following nouns to describe what they are doing?

E.g. water – trickled

Bath

turtle

water

sun

the girl

fish

plug

shower curtain

Can you put them into sentences?

Wednesday: Sick sentences!

These sentences are ‘sick’ and need your help to get better. Can you help?

The bath went through the water. It was a sunny day. The girl watched a turtle. She was happy. The waves were gentle.

A right laugh!

This competition might be perfect for any budding storytellers! You will need to get an adult to create an account for you.

King of the Fishes - English for Thursday

Read, or listen to the story again, then answer the questions (you do not have to write them!)

Now have a go at the grammar activity (sorry for fuzziness!)

Say the sentences before you write them. This will help you make your sentences even better! Write them in your neatest writing, for handwriting practice.

Have a brain break!

So today is a beautiful day for going out on a colour walk. This is my friend Ruby May's green walk. Her mummy is going to send me a tutorial to share with you, if you would like to make the collage. I will share it asap!

Another little brain break activity for you. Create a quick cartoon self-portrait! (Or one of someone in your family?)

Maths for Wednesday

For our lovely children!!

Hey you lovely bunch of jellybeans! Mrs Pilmer and I know how much you are missing one another and we miss you so much too. Mrs Pilmer and I miss each other too, so we decided to make a video together, which might inspire you to do the same. Enjoy! (Maybe cover your ears a little bit!!)

Tuesday maths

Watch the tutorial to remind yourself how to do 2-digit by 1-digit multiplication.

Then have a look at 3-digit x 1-digit if you are confident with this.

To make your multiplications harder, follow the rules for picking numbers below. Write 6 multiplications to try, then get someone to check them. Try to estimate where you think your answers will be, before you start, then check your answers are sensible once you have done them. 

Chilli 1 - 2-digit numbers multiplied by 2,3,4 or 5

E.g. 23 x 4

56 x 3

Chilli 2 - 2-digit numbers x 4, 6, 7, 8 and 9

E.g. 23 x 7

56 x 4

Chilli 3 - 3-digit numbers x 2, 3, 4 or 5

E.g. 223 x 4

156 x 3

Chilli 3+ - 3-digit numbers x 4, 6, 7, 8 or 9

E.g. 523 x 7

156 x 6

King of the Fishes

Read the King of the Fishes story here, and listen to it here.

You can also find the story in the folders section of Edmodo.

If you like writing, you could make up a story about this fish if you want! 

Monday maths challenges!

Activity 1

Work out the answer from the clues below.

 Investigation 2



Use some dice, or the dice online here https://www.random.org/dice/?num=3 . Roll 3 dice and multiply the numbers together. Now swap the numbers around. Do you always get the same answer? Test it out at least 5 times to prove it! Were some calculations trickier than others? If so, why? Were some easier? Why? (That will help your metacognitive thinking, which will help your learning!)

After that, have a go at rolling the dice 3 times again, then multiplying your answer by 10. Remember your place value and how x10 relates to it.

If you find it tricky, use this resource to help https://www.topmarks.co.uk/Flash.aspx?f=MovingDigitCards (if you can't get flash to work, click on the padlock in the address bar, which should give you the option to enable flash).

Investigation 3 (optional!) 

Write the numbers from 3  - 12 on scraps of paper and turn them upside down. Pick 3 and multiply them together. Can you do them all mentally, or do you need to do it another way, like repeated addition or drawing a multiplication grid? Which ones were easy / hard? Why?

Remember that you are allowed to jot things down on paper, even when working mentally! Writing things down helps you learn to do them in your head.

Learning at home week 3

Hello lovelies! You can find the learning at home grid for this week on the class page of the website  or in the folders section of Edmodo.

Mrs Pilmer and I will be phoning some of you again this week, so if you see a withheld number during school hours, it could be us calling to say hello! 

Have a lovely week learning at home. Fingers crossed that the weather stays fine, so we can enjoy lots of learning outdoors. Don't forget there are lots of other suggestions of activities on the class learning at home pages and we will add some fun / wet play activities to the blog in case you need some inspiration. 

Don't forget that the week starts with May 4th be with you, so you might want to have a Star Wars brain break https://www.starwars.com/star-wars-day



Then end the week with some VE celebrations, which you might want to prepare for.

If any of you would like to participate in a challenge to raise money for our wonderful N&N hospital, whilst keeping fit at the same time, you can find out more here https://www.focus4fitness.co.uk/the-empire-strides-back-marathon

Have a lovely weekend!

See how silly Andy Stanton is, with Home Skoolin with the Nincompoops! 

Then you might like to listen to one of my favourite picture books to read out loud!
