Good morning Class 9! And happy summer term!

I hope you are all staying safe and enjoyed some of the Easter activities. You may have been lucky enough to have an Easter Egg or two during the holidays!

Now, you all know how much I love Winnie the Pooh – and I’m determined we will finish the book when we return to school – but I was reading about the author, AA Milne and I came across this quote which I think is quite appropriate at the moment.  You are all these things!

As the lockdown has been extended and schools remain closed, we have created a a new home learning pack for you. If your parents haven’t already picked this up from school it’s important they do so as soon as possible so that you don’t miss out on any learning! We will update the blog too with some extra ‘something fun’ activities.

Here are your tasks for today:

  • Daily Reading (at least ten minutes – please record in  your reading record)
  • Maths: During the week before we closed, we missed a few maths lessons because of the low numbers of children so we just need to go back to fractions for a couple of lessons before moving on with decimals. So today, please complete Unit 9, Lesson 5 Problem Solving – Adding and Subtracting Fractions (Book B, Pg106-108). Here’s the Discover & Think Together guidance to help you:
  • English: Reading Comprehension – Care of a Dog
  • Spelling: Use the internet/ dictionary to find the definitions of the words on the week 1 list.
  • Fluency: Multiplication practice – Purple Mash – Multiplication Monsters – I have set this as a 2do for you on Purple Mash I look forward to seeing your scores!
  • Science: New topic – States of Matter. Lesson 1 – Solids, Liquids & Gasses (Properties & Particles)
  • Something fun:
    • #DrawWithRob – Children’s author Rob Biddulph has been giving free short drawing lessons on his YouTube channel – check them out and have a go. I’ve done number 4 – Kevin and number 7 – Penguin Blue. 
    • #HeywoodRocks – On your daily exercise, look for & collect stones and rocks you could paint. Decorate them with bright, colourful pictures and positive messages – place them around your neighbourhood for others to find! (Remember to maintain social distancing rules while doing this.)

 

 

 

 

 

 

Don’t forget to leave a comment to let everyone know what you’ve been up to! If you’ve missed any of the home learning, it’s still available on the blog so make sure to go back and catch up (particularly with the Maths or you may be lost).

If you have any questions about the work or want to send me photos or examples of the work you’ve been doing, please ask your parents to email me at class9@harwoodpark.rochdale.sch.uk or you can leave a comment here on the blog.
