Textbook work allows us to have some quiet time to work out problems
We enjoy rotational maths activities as this allows us to explore maths concepts in several different ways. This week we are delving in to the world of fractions. Some of us are looking at equivalence while others’ are converting fractions to percentages and decimals. We play games with concrete materials and by following PowerPoint’s that Mrs H prepares for us. We take on challenges and apply our knowledge using Maths Workout and TJ Maths textbooks. Everyone gets a turn to try all the different activities.
Here are some links that could help you to develop your fractions, decimals and percentages knowledge and understanding.
We love getting together on a Friday to discuss our books. We have a range of jobs to do which we all bring in to share with our group. Book Club helps to develop our reading, writing, talking and listening skills. We choose ‘Top Banana’ each week and reward them by displaying their work in the class and issuing them with extra Dojo points.
Top Banana = The person we feel excelled in their task and put the most effort in to producing a piece of work to be proud of.
The task sheets we use can all be found in the P567 homework section of this blog.
Sally from the SSPCA visited us today and we learned more about what the SSPCA do to protect and care for wild and domestic animals. We really enjoyed the board game that Sally brought for us to play.
A big hello from the big class. We are very pleased to welcome you to our lovely new school website. We have all been working hard on our school show but are still finding time to develop our literacy skills and put pen to paper. As you can see we have our lovely log fire roaring in the background and the obligatory Christmas tunes are playing while we work. Enjoy the website and following our learning journeys.
I hope this section will help the pupils with homework activities. I will add things as they become relevant. If there is anything you would like to see in the homework section let me know.
Here are some examples of what pupils produce for their homework tasks. The homework issued aims to encourage pupils to take ownership of their learning and value the opportunities they are given to do so. Spelling, reading and maths tasks are given and suggested by the teacher. It is up to the pupils engage with the tasks and produce work that reflects elements of personalisation and choice.
Here is an example of how one pupil uses their homework diary to note important information and be organised for school.
Here are some homework resources that will help support learning and complete tasks.
We do enjoy getting a bit messy in the big class. This week we explored non-Newtonian fluid.
By contributing to investigations into familiar changes in substances to produce other substances, I can describe how their characteristics have changed. SCN 2-15a
Non-Newtonian fluids Many people have heard of Sir Isaac Newton. He is famous for developing many scientific theories in mathematics and physics. Newton described how ‘normal’ liquids or fluids behave, and he observed that they have a constant viscosity (flow). This means that their flow behaviour or viscosity only changes with changes in temperature or pressure. For example, water freezes and turns into a solid at 0˚C and turns into a gas at 100˚C. Within this temperature range, water behaves like a ‘normal’ liquid with constant viscosity.
Typically, liquids take on the shape of the container they are poured into. We call these ‘normal liquids’ Newtonian fluids. But some fluids don’t follow this rule. We call these ‘strange liquids’ non-Newtonian fluids.
IT’S A BALL, IT’S A BALL, IT’S A BALL…….IT’S A LIQUID!!!!!
Previously we have looked at the states of water. I can apply my knowledge of how water changes state to help me understand the processes involved in the water cycle in nature over time. SCN 2-05a
Next we will explore:
Substances that can be pure or mixtures; separation of mixtures
Separating mixtures of substances; common everyday examples
Conditions which affect how much a substance dissolves or the speed of dissolving
You may have heard you child talking about Number Talks. Number Talks is a short mental maths activity that we aim to do for 10-15 minutes each day. Click the links below to see some of the strategies we are teaching the pupils. These may be helpful to support your child and discuss number problems at home.
