Happy Easter!

Have a lovely Easter break everyone!
Work will start again on Monday 20th April.
Please try your best to log into Google Classroom and familiarise yourself with how it works - I will be posting on here after Easter Holidays!

Friday's work

ENGLISH

Friday – COMPREHENSION DAY – YAY!

Now I’ve written some questions for you all to answer based on the opening of Chapter 1:

Now have a go at building some decimals of your own:

Maybe even write some down and compare them using more than, less than or equal to signs

> <  =

Remember that just because 0.4534 is longer does NOT mean it is bigger than 0.5 à always look in the largest place value column (e.g. here it is the tenths and 5/10 > than 4/10).

P.S. Don’t forget I am still setting a weekly competition on Times Tables Rockstars – this week we are taking on Year 6 – oooo!!!!

WELL DONE TO ALL THE GIRLS OF P&K SCHOOL WHO BEAT THE BOYS IN LAST WEEK’S COMPETITION!

Thursday's English & Maths

Today (2nd April) is my grandparent’s wedding anniversary. It is their diamond wedding anniversary - how many years of marriage is that? Can you research it and find out? Here is a picture of all my grandparents on my graduation day - I miss them all very much. The couple celebrating today are the ones to the left of the picture. I managed to ask Buckingham Palace to write them a telegram and they also received a lovely message from the Queen.

Google Classroom

How are you all getting on? Have you managed to log in yet?

If you have any questions, take a look at the links in the Parent Guide, if you are still unsure and have questions about Google Classrooms, please email us at googleadmin@plaistowandkirdford.org,  please make the subject heading: Google Classroom Enquiry.

Good luck!

Geography fun

I had so many lovely plans for our rivers topic, and I was so looking forward to our trip. However have a look at this link to the South Downs National Park's Facebook page.

https://www.facebook.com/search/top/?q=south%20downs%20national%20park&epa=SEARCH_BOX 

You can go on a virtual walk along the river Rother . 

How many small plants or trees do you recognise?

What kind of animals do you think would make their homes in this habitat?

What do you think that this river would be like in the summer time?

Could you go for a walk with your family near a river like this one and see wheat is similar  or different? (Only go out with your family, if it is safe to do so and none of you are poorly.)

Why not pause this video and draw or paint part of it and send us a photo of your work?

Or even better label it with some of the geographical features we identified. Can you remember the upper, middle and lower course? What about words like source, tributary, confluence, meander, waterfall, delta, mouth, estuary, flood plain, ox-bow lake?

Tuesday's English & Maths

Maths

Tuesday

Watch this video on adding fractions with a common denominator (something we did in class a couple of weeks ago):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=mO53rHEIQr4&feature=emb_logo

Then try this Kahoot quiz:

https://create.kahoot.it/share/adding-fractions-with-common-denominators/a43ee0b7-557c-44a6-93e2-e525dcec42af

Now try this work that would have been your homework and has been sat on top of the books for the last 10 days!

I have attached a picture of it but don’t feel like you have to print it out. You can just answer the questions in your red home learning books!

Try to remember:

1) Simplify the fractions where possible e.g. instead of 2/8 writing 1/4

2) Convert improper fractions into mixed numbers 9/2 = 4½

Friday, or in Miss. Hall's words, "FRIYAY!"

Nearly the weekend Owls. My son is begging to go back to school so I guess he can only sympathise with how you all feel during class!

Good luck with the English and Maths!

Please remember that the English task might take you Friday through until Monday. I will come up with an e-mail that you can take pictures or send your leaflets too.

Maths - today is X Tables day. Remember as Mr. King said you may still have to do the Multiplication Test Check in Year 5 so keep practising! :D

Thursday's Work - English and Maths

Hello Owls,

I hope you have enjoyed your first few days of home learning. I have never walked to much in my life. One of the advantages of living in the countryside is we have so much unexplored wilderness right on our doorstep. On Tuesday, my family and I walked all the way to Bignor Roman Villa - remember that trip back in Autumn Term? What fun!

Anyway, enjoy the work and keep positive! :)

Maths

3 consecutive numbers which add to make 30 = 9 + 10 + 11

I think of a number that is less than 20. I can make it from 2, 3 and 5 consecutive numbers:

The number is 15

2 numbers to make 15 = 7 + 8

3 numbers to make 15 = 4 + 5 + 6

5 numbers to make 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5
