Home Learning

Friday 14^th October

English - This week I have stuck your next ‘Grammar Hammer’ challenge in your home learning books. Try your best to answer each question just as if you were completing it in class.

Maths - I have stuck three Sudoku puzzles in your home learning books along with an explanation of what a Sudoku puzzle is and how it should be completed. There are 3 because I wanted to give you the option of choosing which one you complete. You can think of the smallest one as a pink challenge, the second smallest as a green challenge and the biggest as a black challenge.

Spellings - I want you to learn these and expect to be tested on them but I’m not going to say when. You will have 5 spellings a week to learn and your tests could be on any spellings from any week!

What we have done this week

This week in Maths we have been doing some work on doubling and halving. The first couple of pictures that you can see in this week’s blog show us playing a maths game where, for a start, one team member stood in the middle with a ball. That team member then threw the ball to one of their teammates on the outside of the circle and called out a number. The teammate on the outside then threw the ball back saying what the number they were given is doubled. If they got it right then they got to sit down, if they got it wrong they had to stay standing. The first team with all outside of the circle members sitting down were the winners.

Our English work this week has taken on a harvest theme, building up to our harvest festival celebration. I set class 3 the difficult task of imagining they had been to the harvest festival (when they hadn’t yet) and writing a newspaper report on the events that took place. The last couple of pictures show us getting ready for our harvest festival performance with Mrs Bowles.
