The children enjoyed a variety of activities to support them in learning their spellings.
Literacy Enrichment Day
Materials!
We have been investigating materials in science this week with Mr Clarke!
Literacy Enrichment in Y5/Y6
We enjoyed our literacy enrichment morning on Wednesday! We were looking at spelling strategies and handwriting!
When the root of the word ends in d, de, s or se then we use ‘sion’
Extend- extension
Repulse- repulsion
Also when the root is ‘vert’ or ‘mit’
Divert- diversion
Submit- submission

We discovered that we use ‘cian’ when it’s related to a job, like magician, musician, electrician and physician!

When the root of a word ends in t or te then we use tion!
Action
Creation
Education

Deforestation
I Y5
Milo the Science Rover
We used LegoWeDo to create Milo the Science Rover. Milo is used to explore far away places. We then had to code Milo to move and decide what each coding block meant.

Mathematics and Numeracy
- Collect a range of different sized sticks in your garden. Can you measure them in standard units such as centimetres? Can you measure them in non-standard units i.e using pieces of pasta to measure?
- Can you draw around your hand? Pretend it’s the giant’s hand. Estimate how many kidney beans the giant could fit on his hand?
- Can you log on to TTRockstars and practise your times tables?
- Can you practice writing your number formation 1-20?
- Can you learn your number bonds to 10? I.e. 0+10=10, 1+9=10, 2+8=10, 3+7=10, 4+6=10, 5+5=10, 6+4=10 etc.
Language, Literacy and Communication
- Write a diary – think about what it may be like to be a giant for the day. What would you do? Who do you live with? How might being a giant be different to being a child?
- Draw a picture of Jack and colour it in neatly. Think of as many different adjectives (describing words) as you can to describe Jack and write them down. Can you do the same for the giant? How are they similar and how are they different?
- Questionnaire – Think of questions that you would like to ask the giant if you were to meet him. Write each of your questions down or maybe an adult could scribe them for you. Don’t forget to use a capital letter to start your question and a question mark.
Humanities
- Create a map of Jack’s village, where the house was, the market and the beanstalk.
- Could you also create a map for the land of the giant and include your own key features.
Expressive Arts
- Create your own beanstalk. It could be a painting, a collage or even a model. Be as creative as you can!
Health and Well-being
- Play a board game with a member of your family. Maybe you could create your own game?

Croeso i Jac-y-Do
I am hoping everyone had a great first week back.
We created a music playlist for golden time. It s the first time ever that the music choices reflected what parents listen to. Myself and Mrs George were loving the choices. I think we were more excited than the children.
READING BOOKS
Children are allowed to change their books once finished. It does not matter what day this is and we are encouraging them to become more independent. We expect children to read at least three times a week with an adult at home. The yellow reading record needs to be signed at least three times to show this. We will check this every Tuesday. Any questions please don’t hesitate to ask.
