Welcome to your penultimate week of revision. Next week will be your last week of revision but you are all working hard and preparing well for the Sats.
We will be using the afternoons as well as the mornings this and next week to hone your mathematical and grammatical knowledge but you will enjoy some P.E, art, science and music too in order to re-charge.

We all visited the cyber cafe as a part of our e-safety training this term.

Brandon is demonstrating his skills with creating
 an Inspiration biography n Anthony Horowitz.

Welcome to our second week back. It has a lovely Spring feel to it now. We launched our term's theme, the book and film Stormbreaker by Anthony Horowitz last week and completed many pieces of revision, past papers etc. Your homework is below, containing important revision which is the main theme of this week along with equations in maths and the second chapter of Stormbreaker. Please ensure that you have P.E kit in school not only Wednesday but everyday as we may grab opportunities to get outside to punctuate your revision.

 You have a revision grammar task on plurals and verb endings to complete. It is William Shakespeare’s birthday this week and I would like a few short paragraphs on who Shakespeare was, when he lived, what he achieved, where in this country we specifically remember him and an overview of one of his plays. Remember your punctuation and grammar as you write, treat it as a revision exercise.

Maths – Neolithic, Bronze Groups

You have been allocated online homework this week. You have to find the missing lengths or angles in shapes. If you know the entire perimeter, you can find one or two missing sides. You also have a challenge sheet of questions finding angles at a point, on a straight line and which are vertically opposite.

Iron Group

You have a challenge sheet B on constructing quadrilaterals accurately. You will need a protractor so take one from school but it must come back. Tick your name off the list on the board. We will also look through your L6 Rising Stars together and decide which pages for homework.

Please ensure that you have completed any backlog of online maths challenges, it will be good revision too. 

Welcome back to our Summer Term! An exciting term with a balance of hard work, fun, our Summer Show and of course end of term frolics! I hope you all have had a lovely Easter break and are feeling refreshed and ready for the next four weeks.

 I would like you to write a few short paragraphs on what you have learned today on how to keep yourselves safe on the Internet. I should read an introduction and a conclusion, the main ways that you can stay private and safe when using social media and wise behaviour. You can use bullet points, brackets, semicolons and colons for lists etc. Remember and use your fine writing skills! Design an appropriate picture that could be displayed with your writing in the classroom.

Maths – Neolithic, Bronze Groups

(This was your homework for using G.Hammond, read and remember).

Log on to our class blog and click on the web link for G Hammond. Pause the video quickly and attempt the question. After you have finished it, watch the video. I have already explained that I need you to log on and complete 10 mins for four evenings per week and a fifth 10 min session at the weekend. As a class you all agreed that 50 minutes per week broken into easy to complete chunks will make such a difference in May. Please log in your homework book which questions and which past paper you attempted and watched.

Now explain in your homework books which question this week has really helped you understand how to answer it correctly. Clearly describe or write the question out and tell me how you now know what to do. An instruction for a type of question that doesn’t worry you anymore!

Iron Group

Please do the same as above but for either a KS2 or a L6 question.

Please ensure that you have completed any backlog of online maths challenges, we will be checking in class.
