Home Learning

English: This week for your English I would like you to fill in the gaps on the missing pronouns sheet I have stuck in your home learning book. The task is explained in more detail on the sheet and the missing pronouns are provided in order to support you, all you need to do is organise them correctly.

 

Maths: For Maths this week I would like you to use the website link in your home learning book to find out 3 new maths terms that you didn’t know before. For example, you might want to find out what a rhombus is or understand how to find the square root of a number. Write down your terms and what they mean in your home learning books, doing your best to impress me with your research skills.

Spellings: You also have another 5 spellings this week.

What we have done this week

The first 7 pictures of this week's blog show us looking at and adapting some poetry. All this week in our English lessons we have been concentrating on the importance of pronouns. Our first job in the pictured lesson was to go through a selected poem with a highlighter and highlight all of the pronouns that we could find in pairs. Once we had done this, our next job was to change those pronouns into proper nouns and then read our 'silly poems' aloud to the class. These 'silly poems' helped us to understand the importance of pronouns because the overuse of proper nouns can make our writing sound less interesting and silly.

The final two pictures of this week's blog show our first activity of this week's Science lesson. In last week's lesson we got into groups of 3 or 4 and thought of question we would like to investigate about magnets. All of the individual groups with their individual questions then planned their investigations, making sure that they listed the equipment they would need to carry them out and their predictions of their results. At the start of this week's lesson our equipment was ready for us so that we could start carrying out our investigations straight away. Our investigations ended in some interesting results and, as always in science, a lot more questions.
