Thank you to everyone who took part in the first activity of the week; we have had some fantastically creative work handed in! Are you ready for challenge two?
Maths is around us and we are constantly using language linked to maths in our everyday life. Can you create a poster that celebrates math vocabulary?
Your task is to create an A to Z poster! I wonder how creative you can make it….can you add images for each word? Which colours will you use?
Here is an example below although I know our children can do much better!
Well done to Adam who shared this amazing work for activity 1!
Today is World Read Aloud Day. To celebrate this, as well as National Storytelling Week, why don’t you spend some time reading one of your favourite books out loud!
You could read it to a grown up, a sibling, a friend, you could even read it to your favourite teddy!
Take a picture to share with us at school for our reading display – you can even email it to [email protected]
We’re looking forward to seeing lots of you enjoying your favourite stories!
Maths Week 2025 is here, and we’re kicking things off with an exciting home learning challenge! This is your chance to get creative, have fun with numbers, and showcase your mathematical thinking.
For our first home learning challenge, we’d like you to choose a number and create a poster displaying different ways to represent it. You can show your number using:
Numerals (e.g. 7)
Words (e.g. seven)
Pictures (e.g. seven stars)
Number sentences (e.g. 3 + 4 = 7)
Arrays
Tally marks
Money
Anything else creative!
How to Take Part
Choose a number that inspires you.
Design and decorate your poster using any materials you like – be as colourful and imaginative as possible!
Make sure your poster clearly shows your chosen number in a variety of ways.
Submit your entry to Mr Mumby by Friday to take part in the challenge.
We can’t wait to see your fantastic ‘Ways to Show a Number’ posters! Get your thinking caps on, grab your pencils, and start creating.
Today we looked at the spelling of the following Y5/6 statutory words. All these words link to our expedition writing so the children will be practicing them over the next two weeks, to ensure when they use them in their written work they are spelt correctly.
The 29th January marks the Chinese New Year, but what do you know about it?
Could you use some time to build your knowledge about the celebrations and create a poster, a leaflet or a picture to show your crew what you have learned?
Here’s some links to help you on your way to becoming an expert! –
This week we will be looking at words that end with the suffixes -tial and -cial. Watch the video below to remind yourself of the spelling rule. Here are our list of focus words.
This week our spelling pattern is words containing the letter string ‘ough’. Watch the video below as a recap of the many different sounds that ‘ough’ can make. Practice the following words at home as you will be tested on them next week.
What are your New Year pledges? Is there anything you want to work on this year?
To welcome in the New Year, our next Extended Study challenge is to create New Years pledges, posters or kindness stones that we can display around school.
Next week, Crew Councillors will be completing these and presenting in Crew time as examples for you to use.
Keep an eye out for the blog for examples! We can’t wait to see what you come up with!
