This week we have begun to build on our independence and personalise our own learning journeys through using our morning timetables that we created for home learning last week. This week for home learning we would like you to review your home learning timetable and make any changes that you feel would benefit you utilising this time effectively e.g. you may wish to add in an opportunity to mark the questions you have answered; edit the activity you planned for yourself; change the gap you are closing as you may have already achieved closing your original gap.
Use the timetable below to plan next week’s morning time table:
Monday (8.30 – 8.55am) | Tuesday (8.30 – 8.45am) | Wednesday (8.30 – 8.55am) | Thursday (8.30 – 8.55am) | Friday (8.30 – 8.45am) | |
What am I going to do? | |||||
What resources will I use/need? | |||||
What gap is this going to close? |
Project
Next term our Project is going to be ‘Microevolution’. For home learning we would like to find out everything that you already know about microevolution, natural selection and adaptation. The purpose of this home learning is to establish what you already know so that in school we don’t teach you something that you already know. Please do not google any of the above as we will be researching and collecting this knowledge after Christmas.
Please complete this task in your home learning book.
Maths
Each maths group has been set their own home learning task by their maths teacher.
Miss Bold – order of operations
Mr Peters – addition
Miss Snowdon – multiplication
As always you can complete your home learning in our Tuesday lunchtime club.
As the morning timetable is for all of next week we are asking for this piece to be in school on Monday.
Have a lovely weekend!
Miss Snowdon, Miss Bold and Mr Peters
Literacy
Please see separate World Book Day sheet for full details
Answer the question ‘Where does your reading take you?’
You can answer this as creatively as possible and in any way you choose.
Spelling
Over the last two weeks we have been practising spelling ‘able and ably’ and ‘ible and ibly’ words. Next week we want to be able to check our understanding of both of these spelling rules together. We are sending both spelling lists home again to give everyone another chance to grow their spelling learning before this check.
Maths
Miss Bold’s maths group are to choose one of the measure problem solving challenges (double sided sheet) to complete at home.
Miss Snowdon’s and Mr Peters’ maths groups are to answer the question sheets on multiplying by 10, 100, 1000.
Mr Peters’ group do not do questions 6 and 7.
Don’t forget that you can complete your home learning in Tuesday’s lunchtime club.
Have a lovely weekend
Miss Snowdon, Miss Bold and Mr Peters
Parents,
We are fizzing with excitement about tonight! Please remember it starts at 5pm and the children are staying in school until the festival starts. The main event will be taking place on the mugga pitch but we are kicking everything off with dances on the balcony so get here early to secure a good spot!
See you later,
Year 6 team
This week we have taken part in an anti-bullying workshop with a visiting specialist. To follow up on this session, it would be a brilliant idea to watch the anti-bullying debate on CBBC at 5:30pm this evening.
Year 6 team
This week in Upper Key Stage 2 the children have been encouraged to drop and read.
We are passionate about reading at Brooklands Farm and because of this we are using Accelerated Reader to encourage and excite children about reading as well.
The children in Year 5 and 6 had an assembly about how to use Accelerated reader. They have received their drop and read passports and reading levels and have already dropped and read.
The children are so excited about reading their books and then getting to take a quiz after. The competition is on to see who can read 12 books and who can get 100% on their quizzes.
Here are some photos of the Year 6 children completely absorbed. Well done Key Stage 2!!! Don’t forget to drop and read at home too!!!!
Next week we will be introducing Drop and Read to Lower Key stage 2 and Key Stage 1.
At Brooklands Farm, we are using lunch times to improve our general health and fitness. We are aiming to achieve 180 laps of the mugga pitch over time, which will be equivalent to a marathon!
For every lap we complete, we get a counter. Our running total is being recorded by the PE team.
Here are a few pictures of our first golden mile run:
We’ve had a brilliant time revising word classes today in SPAG!
