Good morning – I hope you have all enjoyed the October holidays.

This week we have spelling, grammar, reading and math homework.

Spelling this week is a consolidation week – I have uploaded all of our weekly words onto our teams channel so please access these under the ‘file’ tab. I would like all children to practise their words to ensure they know all of their words so far. There will be no official spelling test this week as this is a chance for children to revise their previous learning.

Our maths homework this week is a worksheet to be complete in their homework jotters – if children complete their worksheet within half an hour the remainder of the time should be spent completing a Sumdog subtraction task.

For reading this week children have been issued new library books. Each book is of a different size – some children will read their full book, others should read 2/3 chapters of their book. Pick an event or character from your book and draw a picture of your visualisation.

Grammar – write three sentences about your holidays or something you are looking forward to doing over the next couple of weeks. In each sentence underline the nouns.

Challenge: can you specify if your noun in a common noun or a proper noun?

Reminder: children have been issued homework jotters therefore their maths and spelling should be complete in their jotters.

Have a lovely week!!

Yesterday we had lots of different activities revising all of the topics in maths we have covered so far. Everyone worked very hard 👏🏼

The dark, cold, wintery mornings inspired out art for today’s lesson. We were learning how to create tones using the same materials by applying and removing pressure. I am so proud of how hard everyone worked – they all turned out beautiful 👏🏼

Additionally, this week all children have been encouraged to look for all of the representations of their sound of the week in a contextualised environment – for example the supermarket, on a road sign etc. Write any places and examples of words in homework jotters.

Sounds – all representations of ‘f’  – Genius Gems

• ‘o_e, i_e and e_e’ – Whiz Kids
• ‘igh’ – Clever Cookies

Our maths homework this week is a worksheet to be complete in their homework jotters – if children complete their worksheet within half an hour the remainder of the time should be spent completing a Sumdog subtraction task.

For reading this week children have been issued new library books. Each book is of a different size – some children will read their full book, others should read 2/3 chapters of their book. Re-write one of the main events of the story in your own words.

Children have been issued homework jotters therefore their maths and spelling should be complete in their jotters.

Have a lovely week!!

For math week we had an exciting lesson on budgeting – differentiating between wants and needs.

I was so impressed with how sensible everyone was with their money and how seriously this task was taken (we have a lot of savers in our class 😆)

Here are some pictures of our task…

Happy Friday, 

I hope you have all had a great week 🙌🏼 
We always make time on a Friday to reflect on our week and to set targets for the following week. Today we posted our evaluations on our personal blogs… Here are some pictures of our morning task ☺️

Have a wonderful weekend everyone 🙌🏼😄

We have had a very busy Monday in primary 5/6.

Here are some pictures of our active literacy tasks today.

We had a spelling task, followed by an introduction to our new phoneme for the week and finally a visualisation task for our reading.
Well done everyone for your work today 👏🏼

ITS MATHS WEEK!! For maths week, everyone should spend as much time as they can on Sumdog. We have a competition running for the number of tasks complete correctly in school and at home for the week – let’s get those points!

For reading this week children have been issued library books. Each book is of a different size – some children will read their full book, others should read 2/3 chapters of their book. Complete a summary of at least 3 bullet points to tell me the main events of the book.

Grammar – please write, at least 3, detailed sentences using show not tell emotions – sentences can be about anything at all – they do not have to be about Wonder.

Children have been issued homework jotters therefore their maths and spelling should be complete in their jotters.

Have a lovely week!!

Fridays are always a lovely day in primary 5/6 – reflecting on our week, rounding up our learning and enjoying our assemblies.

Today we had a code cracker challenge for maths which everyone fully involved themselves in and engaged with amazingly – well done to every single person 👏🏼

It was so nice to see so many people making such a good effort at home with their homework – I can see the difference it is making to their class work already – another very well deserved well done 👏🏼

Here are some pictures of our tasks today ☺️ Have a lovely weekend!!

Every day in primary 5/6 we work so hard in literacy. We complete spelling, writing and reading tasks every day – and I am so proud of how hard everyone has been working so far.

We have so many different active spelling tasks that everyone really enjoys taking part in. Here are some pictures of some of our spelling activities 😄
