Book Detectives:  We will be setting up our new Book Detective groups on Thursday, therefore I will post your homework on Thursday.

Personal Reading Challenge:  As we discussed in class, you should read at least 4 books, chosen by you, this term. You should now be well into your first book. Once you have completed a book, you should fill in your personal reading passport which will now be kept in class.  Please make sure you bring them into school tomorrow (Mon 31st)

Maths:  This week I have posted another set of worded problems to complete in your maths homework jotter. We have discussed how to do these questions in class. It can be a bit tricky to decide what the question is asking but we will have lots of practice this term so it should become easier as the weeks go by. We will also be practicing these types of questions in class too.

Remember practice makes perfect!

Please read the instructions carefully to ensure all aspects of the task are being completed.

Topic: Next week as part of our topic we will be looking at Bishopton and comparing it to a small town in Brazil. To prepare for this I would like you to keep a diary for a day. Choose a day this week and keep a note of your daily routine. You should consider the following:

  • What time do you get up?
  • What do you do in the morning before school?
  • What time do you leave for school?
  • How do you get there?
  • What did you do in school through the day?
  • Do you attend any clubs after school?
  • When do you have dinner?
  • What time do you go to bed?

Paper will be issued for you to complete the task on. This task should be returned to school by Monday 7th Nov.

Here are your reminders for this week.

  1. P. E. is on Tuesday and Thursday. Please ensure you have a full kit to change into: shorts, top and trainers. Girls, please remember to bring socks if you are wearing tights. Both our P.E. sessions are going to be energetic so please remember to have a water bottle with you.
  2. Photographs will be issued this week and are due to be returned by Thursday 10th November.
  3. The Christmas card orders have been sent out and are due to be returned by Tuesday 1st November. We have a very tight time limit for returning your cards so please remember to bring them to school.

Enjoy what’s left of the weekend.

See you in the morning.

P5H – w/b 24.10.16 Homework and Reminders

Leave a comment

Good afternoon everyone! I hope you have all had a superb October break. We have had quite a bit of sunshine this holiday, hopefully it will continue when we get back to school. Please read on to see you homework and reminders.

Spelling: Please complete list s for z or aw in your spelling homework jotter.  Each word should be written out three times.  A creative spelling activity, using ALL of your words, should also be completed. This task should be returned to school by Thursday. Please remember to practice your words throughout the week, NOT just when you are completing the task.

Personal Reading Challenge: This term we will be completing a challenge to help increase the amount of reading you do each week. The challenge will be ongoing for the whole term. I will go over the finer details of the challenge with you in class on Monday.

 Maths: Our maths homework will take a different format this term.  Most weeks you will have worded problems to complete. These problems will be posted on our class blog (this week they have been posted by Mrs O’Neill). If you are unable to access the blog, please ask for a paper copy of the questions.

Your answers should be completed, neatly, in your maths homework jotter. I will let you know on Monday (24th) which group you are in so that you know which questions to answer. Please cover your jotter before handing in your homework on Thursday.

I know many of you are enjoying  accessing the games on Mangahigh. If you wish to, please continue to do so, as practice makes perfect.

Art: As part of our Brazil topic we will be looking at a Brazilian artist: Beatriz Milhazes. Next week in class we will be recreating some of her paintings. For homework this week I would like you to access the link below and familiarise yourself with her work. Some of the vocabulary used is a little tricky but please remember if you are unsure of what a word means, please use a dictionary (or ask) to check the definition.

You should then write a short paragraph (no more than 50 words) about Beatriz and her work. This should be in your own words as much as possible – DO NOT just copy directly from the text. Let me know your personal thoughts on her paintings. Think about the following questions when writing your paragraph.

  • When and where was she born?
  • What style of art does she create?
  • What do you think of it?
  • Why do you think that?
  • Is there a particular painting you like?
  • Why do you like it?

Beatriz Milhazes

You should leave your paragraph as a post on our blog and I will publish them all at the end of the week. If you are unable to post on the blog, please complete your paragraph on paper. This task should be completed for Thursday.

 

Here are your reminders for this week.

  1. Please remember that our lunch menu has changed for this week only. The menu scheduled for Monday will now be served on Thursday which means Thursday’s menu will be served on Monday.
  2. You should all have taken your P.E. kit home at the end of last term to be washed. Please remember to bring it to school for our P.E. sessions on Tuesday and Thursday.
  3. Some of you have still to return your “walking” consent forms. Please ensure it is returned to school as soon as we return from our October break.
  4. If you have not already done so please remember to cover your Literacy and Book Detective homework jotters.

Enjoy what’s left of the October break. I look forward to hearing all of your news at check in tomorrow.

Mrs Hughes
