Maths Week Challenge 1
Work together to see how many maths words you can think of for each letter of the alphabet! I’ll let you into a secret … J is a very tricky letter so I’ll be super impressed if anyone thinks of a maths word starting with J!
Please send your responses to [email protected] and / or bring them in to show your teachers!
We can’t wait to see how many words you come up with and who has the most creative words!
Y5/6 Art Club
Yesterday at art club the Y5/6 children continued their learning from family learning. They explored taking photos involving creating illusions with perspective. They had lots of fun experimenting and enjoyed presenting them at the end of the session. Check out some of their favourites below.
Well done guys – I really enjoyed it too!
Y6 – Times tables rockstars homework
Today Year 6 have entered into a battle against each other. Over the next week, the children need to practice their times tables on ttrockstars. Who will top the leader board? Which times tables do you need to practice the most?
Crew Jackson – Family Learning
This afternoon we all became photographers! We explored taking pictures from different angles, re-created iconic images from the past and explored reflection, perspective and zooming. We all had great fun and enjoyed sharing our favourite images on the class screen to finish off the session. I think we definitely have some budding photographers in our crew!
Year 5/6 Home Learning
Crew Jackson – Feature spotting
This morning, we revisited the features of newspaper reports. We read and annotated one of the children’s newspaper reports that they wrote about ‘Pig heart boy’, last year in Year 5. It was fantastic to see how much the children could recall and I can’t wait to see the newspaper reports they write this year.
