Home Learning

English: This week I want you to see if you can say what type of conjunction is shown in each of the six sentences, which I have stuck in your book, by circling the correct answer. Help yourself remember how the different types of conjunctions are different from each other by trying to explain to someone else how you know which is which.

Maths: This week I want you to see if you can complete the fraction mazes by reaching the finish line? Your job is to solve each fraction problem, draw a line from the problem to the answer, and follow the path that the answers lead you on all the way to the finish line.

Spellings: I am not going to give you anymore spellings this term as I want us to just work on the ones that I have given you so far.

What we have done this week

The top two pictures you can see in this week's blog show some of us trying to match some French words to some English words. On each of the five tables we have in our class we positioned the English and French words for the days of the week, the months of the year, numbers 1-10, numbers 11-20 and some common colours. Each group of words were all muddled up on each table and we ourselves got into groups of 4 or 5 and went from one table to the next trying to match them up. There was an answer sheet on each table that we were allowed to turn over at the end of our time on a table to check our answers.

The next 3 pictures show one of our maths lessons from this week. We've been learning about fractions and in this particular lesson our objective was to understand how fractions are simply a whole that have been split up. We often work with different colour challenges in Class 3, challenges that vary in difficulty depending on the colour, and on this day our hardest challenge was an orange one which some of us managed to have a go at before the end of the lesson.

The last two pictures show some of us completing a starter to one of our English lessons this week. We have been learning all about conjunctions and how there are three different types. All of them have quite big names (subordinating, coordinating and correlative) but, once you know what they are, they are actually fairly simple to identify, as we found out when we tried to sort them.
