Mr Applegate

Hello Year 5s. We hope you are well and that you are all working hard, whilst giving yourself some rest and fun too. We hope that you were able to complete the jobs set yesterday and that there were not any problems accessing them.

How was the short PE activity? Did you enjoy it? Did anyone manage to get their parents, siblings or anyone else to join you? If you did, well done! Let us know how it went.

Miss Thomas is still available to email at year5@stmarksce.org.uk if you have any questions, need some help, want to send a picture of your hard work or just want to say hello. Thank you to those children who already have emailed in, it has been fantastic to hear from you and see how everything is getting on. Just remember to check with an adult that it’s okay to email first.

Here are your learning jobs for Thursday. Again we have some of the same subjects as the last few days -Maths, Book Club, and English – but today we also have a topic lesson and another Grammar Hammer. It doesn’t matter too much which order you do the jobs in, but we recommend that you do Book Club before English today. This will make your English job easier.

Maths – Today you will be continuing to subtract fractions with different denominators, which also includes mixed numbers. The key skills you need for this you practised yesterday, and then you just need to subtract the whole numbers first. It includes a couple of challenge questions, which you do not have to include, but do have a go at if you can. Please let Miss T know if you manage them or even have a go, it would be fantastic to hear.  To make things easier, we have created a video and uploaded it to YouTube which talks through the different sections of this job. There will be a link to this in a separate post, which is password protected, so look out for that post and the password.

Book Club – Today you have Chapter 17 to read. Then you have to describe how Anthony is feeling at the moment (throughout this chapter). You need to use APE to complete this, so it should about a paragraph in length.  I have put a reminder of APE on the PowerPoint for anyone who is unsure.

English – remember it will be easier to complete English after Book Club today. In English, you will be writing a character description of the character Glass Eye.

Grammar Hammer – Complete the Grammar Hammer questions, thinking carefully about each answer.

Topic – Look through the PowerPoint, learning about the capital city of Vienna and it’s history. It focuses on the location of the city and why it was located there. Use the information provided to then write a short speech explaining why the location is perfect for it’s purpose. (More information on the PowerPoint)

Just a quick reminder, please try your best at the different jobs and think carefully about what we have done in class and how this can help you with your jobs. Remember to talk to your parents and see if they can help you, and if you’re still unsure, send an email to Miss T to ask for help. (Email address year5@stmarksce.org.uk )

We are proud of you for your hard work so far and remember to keep in touch. As always, stay safe, wash your hands and continue to show all the learning behaviours towards your work as you usually do.

Mrs Poole, Miss Thomas, Mrs Stone and Miss Fowler.

Good Morning Year 4

We hope that you are starting to create a routine at home.  It is great to see some of your work you have sent us on the Year 4 email address – year4@stmarksce.org.uk.  There is no expectation that you send us the work but we are very happy to have a look at it if you would like us to.

Here is your home learning for today.

At some point today, make sure you use your digital logins to play:-

• 15 minutes of numbots
• 3 rounds in garage on TTRockstars
• 1 round in soundcheck on TTRockstars
• 3 rounds in Spelling Shed

Maths – multiplication questions

Visit https://yewisev.exampro.net/ to find today’s maths questions.  Before half term, we learnt how to use short multiplication.  Children – remember to use the method you use in school to solve these questions.  If you have time, you could try checking the answers using the inverse (short division).

Alternatively if you would like to view it in pdf then click below.

English – story writing

We hope you created a good plan yesterday.  See the attachment below for today’s writing task – make sure you only write your first 2 paragraphs today.  You can type your story or write it by hand but remember we are looking for quality rather than quantity.

Topic – Art

As part of your art learning at school, you were thinking about packaging and lettering design.  Can you create your own bookmarks for your family using their names?  You might want to use one of the templates below.  Think carefully about how to ‘block’ the letters so that they fit in the space equally – search up the netflix logo to give you an idea.

Alternatively, you might like to explore using wordart to layer auto-shapes, word art and colour to present different names in your family.  Open the document if you’re not sure how to do this.  This shows how to do it in PowerPoint but Word should work in the same way.

We hope that you have a good day and look forward to hearing from you.

Hello wonderful Year 3,

Today’s thought of the day: 

A little task to show you care:
Whilst you are at home, do you have a relative that is also at their home? Could you facetime or call  them at some point today and read them a story? Sing them a song? Share your homework? – Get permission from your grown up! Make someone smile today like you make your teachers smile everyday! 

Email us!
Here is our email address: year3@stmarksce.org.uk  Remember to drop us a line, we would love to hear from you, help you if you need it, see your fabulous work or just have a chat!

Note to parents: Hopefully the tasks we are setting the children can complete independently but do get them to drop us a line if they are struggling. We also understand that you have other family commitments or may be working from home, so please do not worry and complete what you can with your child. Thank you for your positives emails and comments, this means a lot to us.
