Jae Malone, the author of ‘Silver Linings’ unfortunately could not visit us last month because of the Covid situation. However, she is incredibly keen to make sure we keep our imaginations fired and let our love of writing stories grow. Therefore, she has sent some fun ideas on how to create short stories. With these writing prompts you may be able to come up with a brand new story idea that no one else has ever thought of. You don’t have to write stories down, you may picture them in your mind or be a storyteller to members of your family.
Grid – Haunting things Grid One – People and Creatures Seaside Columns
As well as these fun story creating ideas, she has set us an exciting challenge. If you would like to win a signed set of Jae Malone’s trilogy, then why not enter her creative writing competition?
All you have to do is send your completed Indiana story from last term. If you have already sent us uploaded photos of your completed story or sent it as a Word document, then all you have to do is ask us to submit it to Jae’s competition. If you didn’t send us your completed story, you have until 4th May to complete your story and send it to us. Remember to use the year6@stmarksce.org.uk address for your entries.
Daily physical activity which you enjoy. Challenge yourself! Remember Joe Wicks is still there to keep us moving.
Maths
You’ve completed your Success in Seven for this week so why not spend a few minutes going through your times tables like we do in class :)
Here is a Times Table Grid to fill in electronically. Try Level 3 and then when you’re confident, Level 4. You can do it!
CGP Books
Each Friday, we will use our CGP books for our Maths work. Don’t worry if you haven’t got yours. We will always upload a scan of the pages we’d like you to complete. Either print them off or just complete the answers neatly into your Maths book. When you have finished the pages, you may check your answers carefully using the CGP answer booklets that we sent home, or the scanned answers below.
Arithmetic book – subtraction
We are going to revise subtraction today and all of the tasks are in your Arithmetic book. We are going to complete pages 4, 5, 6, 7, 26 and 27.
Remember to read each question carefully as you will need to exchange in some of them :). When subtracting decimals, remember to line the decimal points up.
Here are the pages if you don’t have your book. If they download upside down, there is a rotate button in the top right of the screen:
1. Arithmetic Book Pages 4&5 – Written Subtraction
2. Arithmetic Book Pages 6&7 – Written Subtraction
3. Arithmetic Book Pages 26&27 – Subtracting Decimals
When you’re finished, check each question carefully. Do all of your answers make sense? Here are the answers:
If that wasn’t enough for you and you fancy even more maths, then Miss Goddard’s Daily Maths Challenge can be found if you click here.

2. Punctuation Book Pages 4&5 Exclamation and Question Marks
When you’re finished, check each question carefully. Do all of your answers make sense? Here are the answers:
Why not chill out with a book on the sofa afterwards?
Spelling Test
In the back of your Home Book, please write today’s short date and title: Spelling test.
Ask someone in your house to test you on this week’s spellings – remember to get them to ask you the words in a random order and within a sentence to remind you of the meaning.
Then you can mark them together. Thank you for sending us pictures of your results too! :)
PE
This half term in PE we are going to be completing our own Home Olympics! We have a range of activities for you to have a go at. There are 5 activities which require different skills. See if you can complete each one. For each activity you need to count how many repetitions you are able to do in a certain time or time yourself and see how long you can keep going. A stop watch or a timer on a phone would be useful for these activities. There is also a record card that you can download or you can just keep a record of your scores as we will repeat these activities over the next few weeks so that you can see if you have improved. Did you manage to get any bronze, silver or gold awards today in the events? Competitive Miss Pettitt MUST get gold! :D
The End!
Year 5 – Friday 24th April
Good Morning Year 5!
WOW it’s Friday already! The first week back after the Easter holidays has gone so quickly. Here’s a little poem that we wrote to show you how much we care and hopefully make you smile!
You are all simply amazing,
Each of you trying your best
All of you working hard
Reading, writing, maths and the rest.
Finding reasons to smile.
It’s hard when we miss your faces,
Very proud we are of our three classes,
Everyone of you in different places.
Remember the words of our school song. We are growing and learning together… just in a different way right now!
It’s that time again year 5!!! We have another TT Rockstars battle with Year 4!! Today between 9am and 3pm we will be battling Year 4 again. Last time we battled we won, so lets make that happen again. Even if you can only get on for 10 minutes, please do – help us to beat year 4 again!
Thank you for sending in your descriptive writing and your art from yesterday. We were amazed by the amount of effort and detail included, they were fantastic. Please keep sending them in for us to look at.
Some of the teachers have created a Worship for this week. If you would like you access the worship, click here.
Exciting news for 5F! The long awaited Zoom video call has been scheduled for Monday 27th April at 10:30am. Miss Fowler is really looking forward to seeing as many members of 5F as she can. Your parents should have an email with details of how to log in for the chat. We will be completing a true or false European Countries quiz. For this you will need a piece of paper with true written on one side and false written on the other side (if you can’t then thumbs up and down will work too!). Miss Fowler is really looking forward to catching up.
We hope you have a wonderful weekend, enjoy your break from working and make the most of the time you can go outside and enjoying yourself. Remember to stay positive.

Year 4 Friday 24th April
Good Morning Year 4!
Good morning everyone. The sun is shining even brighter today, so we hope that it is helping you feel positive. What good deeds did you get up to yesterday? Could you do more today, these are the best bits of the news to watch, because they remind us of all the amazing things people are doing. Do share any of your good ideas or kind things you have done with us.
We have set up a TTRockstars battle for today with Year 5. If you play any games between 9am and 3pm they will count to our score. The teachers will try and help you, but we need as many of you as possible to have a go even if it is only a few games – everyone’s efforts help!
We have really enjoyed looking at all the work you have sent us, especially your ideas about how inventions will develop in the future. We wonder if any of them will come true. Excitingly, Miss Stonehouse has added a French lesson for you to try today. Access it with the same password as before.
Did you know today is DNA day? DNA makes up the cells from which we are all made, it is passed from parents to children and is different for everyone. So it is a day to celebrate a discovery rather than an invention but scientists are always working hard to find ways of improving our lives by understanding how DNA works and using it to solve medical problems. In English today, you will be finding out about a famous inventor many of whom are scientists. I think some of the greatest inventions have been medical. Do you agree?

Have a good weekend.

Maths – Dividing 1 & 2 digits by 100
Today’s lesson is all about dividing by 100 which we have worked on earlier in the year with whole numbers. Today you will be able to divide smaller numbers and include decimals in your answer. Using the place value charts will help you remember to move each digit 2 places to the right. Remember when you use the Gattengo chart you will need to move down rather than across. Here is the White rose video link to help you.
For children who are completing their Maths with ease, and who would like further challenge, Miss Goddard is started a ‘Daily Maths Challenge’ page on the school website where she will upload a new set of challenges everyday. If you complete today’s work and would like to access it, please click here.
English – Informative writing about an inventor
All week, you have been learning about inventions and inventors. Today, we would like you to focus on one inventor. That inventor could be someone you already know a little about, it could be someone you have learned about this week or you could start some research about someone new!
You can present your work however you like – a poster (handwritten or on the computer), a PowerPoint, an information booklet or even a standard piece of writing! Try to cover the answers to the following questions in your work:
- What is the inventor’s full name?
- When were they born?
- Where were they born?
- What was their job?
- What did they invent?
- How did they invent it?
- How did they invention change the world?
- Did any other key events happen in their life?
- Are there any interesting facts about them?
There is a lovely idea below of a poster – it has all the information along with pictures and ‘Fun Facts!’
French – Animals
Miss Stonehouse is back with a French video for you. In this Youtbe video below, she will be describing animals using colours. Give it a go trying to copy some of the sentences she reads out. Remember that in French, the adjective comes after the noun unlike in English – for example we would say ‘the brown dog’ but they would say ‘the dog brown’ (or le chien brun!)

Please complete Week 2 Lesson 5 – Equivalent Fractions – This lesson builds on your knowledge of the numerator and denominator in fractions to help you compare them. You will look at bar models to help you to see if the fractions are equivalent.

Things to remember
• Remember the denominator (the bottom number) tells you how many equal parts you divide the whole into. So if you are finding 2/3 the 3 will tell you how many sections to split your bar model into.
• Remember the numerator (the top number) tells you how many parts we are looking at.
• Bar models must be the same size when comparing fractions.
• For question 7 use your knowledge of multiples of 4 to help you.
