FRIDAY 7TH JANUARY

Please go to our Y5/Y6 TEAMS chat on Hwb to access the work that we would like you to complete on Friday 7th January for home learning.  Don’t forget to go on Emile and TT Rockstars to practise your tables, and Nessy to practise your spelling please!

Reading records will need to have 8 signatures in them when you return to school- if you have left your reading record at school then please make sure that you write down what you have read on a piece of paper and ask a grown up to sign to say that you have completed your reading each time.

Christmas games!

 

This week the children have worked in small groups to create their own board games based on Christmas; they were all so focussed and creative!!

We’ve also learned how to use column division this week; it’s a tricky one but they can all see how much they have improved in their understanding of the strategy already!

Nessy and Emile

Play some games on Nessy and Emile to practise your reading, spelling and number skills. Logins are in your home readers and instructions were sent home last term and are on the website under your child’s class.

Reading

Look at your reading books that were sent home at the end of term. Please remember to comment in the reading record.

Name Writing

If your child is unable to write their name, this could be practised in felt tip pen, outside with a brush and water or paint on paper.

Numbers

Practise forming your numbers correctly.  Can you put the correct number of objects by each number? Can year ones go up to 20?

Favourite Christmas Present

Draw a picture of your favourite Christmas gift and colour it in. Can you label what it is? For some this will be mark making. Can you write why you like it so much.
