P7M – Dunkirk Homework Feedback

Well done to those of you who completed the Dunkirk research task (17/27). I was impressed that most of you used the article and video to select the key information and then para-phrased (reworded) it in your own words. This is an important skill for studying, researching and writing your own texts. I was pleased to see that the majority of you used correct punctuation, capital letters and spelling. Only a few of you made mistakes that could have been easily corrected if you had read over your work before submitting the post. These ‘quick fix’ errors are easily avoidable and it is your responsibility to check your work. The criteria was for the summary to be ‘around 50’ words and most of you hit the mark, however if you were way over please try to summarise the key points.

Please take the time to  read your peers’ summaries.

Alex

During ww2, Dunkirk was a retreat back to England by the British army across the English channel. It took place between the 26th of may-4th of june 1940. 338,226 were saved from beaches. Meanwhile British soldiers were still getting bombed by the germans. This evacuation was code named Operation Dynamo.

Reuben

On the 4th of July, 1940,Nazi forces seized the French port of Dunkirk that had nine days earlier been full of 338,000 British soldiers and a few French that had come up to help protect France from invasion but with the English Channel behind them and Nazi forces advancing on them they needed to evacuate the port and fast on any boat that was free.

Tori

1940 German army took over French port of Dunkirk. Month later German forces went through the west stormed into France May 24 ready to take Dunkirk. Germans stopped the attacks so their plans didn’t go to plan. People evacuated May 26. Men stranded Germans going towards them.Boats arrived to save them.German captured Dunkirk.

P7M – Maths Homework – BIDMAS

BIDMAS – Cities of the World

Our new Maths topic is B.I.D.M.A.S. (also known as BODMAS). BIDMAS stands for Brackets, Indices, Division and Multiplication, Addition and Subtraction. All of these terms are fairly obvious except for ‘Indices’, which are just powers (eg 23 or 42 etc.) So the order you should do your calculations in is: Brackets. Indices. Multiplication. Division. Addition. Subtraction. Click here to remind you how to work it out.

Use the table below and the rules of BIDMAS to work out the answers to the questions and unravel these famous cities of the world. Remember to show all working to show your understanding and to help you work through the BIDMAS process. See the example below to remind you how to work it out or visit Maths is Fun – BIDMAS.

Example City:

  1. 7 + 7 x 2 = 7 + 7 x 2 = 7 + 14 = 21      U
  2. 16 ÷ 22  – 3 = 16 ÷ 22  – 3 = 16 ÷ 4 – 3 = 4 – 3 = 1   A
  3. 17 – (2 + 14) = 17 – (2 + 12) = 17 – 14 = 3    C
  4. 46 – 4 x 11 = 46 – 4 x 11 = 46 – 44 = 2    B

UACB = Cuba

City 1

  1. 2 × 6 + 3
  2. 3 × 5 – 4
  3. 5 + 3 × 3
  4. 7 – 6 ÷ 3
  5. (2 + 4) × 3
  6. 7 + 4²
  7. 3² + 4²

City 2

  1. (9 + 7) ÷ 4
  2. 2 + 3 × 4
  3. (2 + 3)²
  4. (2 + 4 × 7) ÷ 6
  5. 3 + 4²
  6. 8 × 2 + 3 × 3

City 3

  1. (7 + 6) ÷ (17 – 4)
  2. 3 + 2 × 4
  3. 4² ÷ 2³
  4. 4 + 2 × 5
  5. 28 ÷ (9 – 5)
  6. (7 – 2) × (9 – 6)
  7. (2 × 22) ÷ 2²

City 4

  1. (6 × 4) ÷ √9
  2. 1 + 2³
  3. (1 + 8 × 3) ÷ (15 – 2 × 5)
  4. 4² ÷ 4
  5. (8 × 6) ÷ 2²

City 5

  1. 4 + 3 × 5
  2. 3 × 9 – 4
  3. (6 + 3 × 8) ÷ (11 – 3²)
  4. (11 + 4) ÷ (8 – 3)
  5. 1 + 7 × 2

Please remember to consider your VCOP in each sentence. This week we will be focusing on using more ambitious connectives in each sentence. This does not mean you forget about uplevelling your openers and vocabulary. We are trying to use all of these together to make your sentences wonderful.

As always, if there is any vocabulary you are unsure of, please take a note of it and we will discuss it in class on Thursday.

Personal Reading Challenge: We now have 4 weeks of reading left. You have set yourself a personal target based on the number of books read last term and the aim is to reach it (or beat it!) before the end of term. Please remember to bring your book to school as this will allow you to read it during our ERIC sessions.

Please remember to record the books in your reading passport as you finish them. The passport is kept in class. I will be checking this week to see that your passports are being kept up to date. Remember this is your record of the number of books you have read so far this term.

Maths: Please complete the word problems for your group by Friday. As always, all workings should be shown and a sentence answer should be given for each question. Please use the links below to access your questions.

Please keep up the high standard of work.

Good afternoon everyone, I hope you are having a lovely weekend. I have had a look at the photographs Mrs. O’Neill posted of your trout biology task, you all look as if you put a lot of effort into them. It also looks as if you had a successful trout release on Thursday, I was so disappointed to miss it. Please continue reading for your homework and reminders.

Please continue to write out your spelling words 3 times using SaCaWaC in the same way as we do in class. You should then write a sentence for each of your first 6 spelling words. You have been trying very hard to include ambitious vocabulary in your sentences and I have been impressed by many of the words you have used. Please continue to do this. This week we will be concentrating on the C of VCOP – connectives. You should include at least one connective in each sentence. Try to choose something more interesting than and or but. I will be focusing on assessing your connectives, however I will still be looking for fantastic vocabulary too.
