Today in History………..

………..Catherine Hammond from the Epping Forest District Museum paid us a visit. She told us a lot about the lives of ordinary people living and working during Tudor times. We found out about their clothes and the everyday objects that they used.

We learned so much, and it was fantastic to have such a hands-on experience of history!

Homework – 5.11.19

jen-betton-remembrance

 

Think about why it is important to remember those who died for our country in wars and produce a piece of work for display, which can take a format of your choice, such as a poster, poem, fact file, picture, design or  information about a relative who has experienced war. There are so many possibilities. No PowerPoints, though!

Homework 13.9.19

Using  your Smarts scores, make a bar graph. Remember to:

  • Give it a title
  • label the axes
  • count out your intervals so that they are evenly spaced
  • make sure each bar is the same width and leave a space between each one
  • colour each bar with colouring pencils

Here is a picture of the graph I started for you to use as an example:

Your graph will go on display, so make it beautiful!

Hand in on Monday.

It would be a good idea to keep up your skills over the holidays, and we would really recommend that you keep working through your Schofield and Sims books that you have taken home. Also, try these:

ENGLISH

Send ‘postcards’ to us via the Blog to let us know what you’re up t0

Take part in this Summer Reading Challenge:

Summer Maze Challenge 2019

MATHS

For daily practice:

https://corbettmathsprimary.com/5-a-day/

Play games on these websites –
http://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/ks2/maths/
http://resources.woodlands.kent.sch.uk/maths/
http://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/7-11-years/problem-solving
http://mathszone.co.uk/
You can also use playing cards to practise your skills:
• Find different ways to sort the cards
• Times tables – decide on a times table you want to practise. Turn over the top card and multiply that number by your chosen times table, turn over the next card and do the same. Keep doing this for a minute and count up how many you have done. Challenge a friend to see who can get through the most in a minute!
• Number Bonds – as above, but say the number that, when added to the number you have turned over, makes 10
• Addition – turn over two cards and add them together. How many can you do in 30 seconds?
• Subtraction – as addition, but take the smaller number away from the bigger number

If you fancy creating worksheets, this website is really good:
