Year 6 Home Practice - 2nd October 2020
Date: 2nd Oct 2020 @ 1:11pm
Another super week of learning from Year 6. We have started our ‘Daily Mile’ exercise and already we have seen an improvement in our fitness levels. Well done to 90% of you for changing your Home Reading books this week – let’s aim for 100% next week! As another reminder, these groups can change their books on the following days:
Monday – Roller Coasters
Tuesday – Big Dippers
Wednesday – The Waltzers
This year we are using Sumdog as a great way to practice our learning that has been taught in school that week. We will always have a maths, spelling and grammar challenge to practice all week from Friday to the next Friday. We have had a brilliant response from Year 6 with 85% completing all the challenges by Wednesday – keep this up everyone, as little and often will help our learning for the following week.
Our learning in Year 6 this week:
- In Maths, we are using our place value knowledge to add large and decimal numbers mentally.
- We have begun our new novel, ‘Private Peaceful’ and investigated themes and predictions from the cover, blurb and first chapter.
- In Geography, we enjoyed a game of ‘Search, Find and Recover’ where groups had to search for information for the features of mountains and create their own mountain map – check out the pictures on our Year 6 gallery page.
- For RE, we have completed our topic of ‘Unconditional Love’ through creating our own Beatitudes to help make our school a better place.
- In Art, we continued to use Keynote to cleverly focus on one part of our face (eye, mouth, etc) like a ‘view finder’ and then practiced techniques to sketch those in our Sketch book.
- In French, we have been developing our dictionary skills, looking up new words and understanding the abbreviations n/f/s = noun, feminine, singular.
- Also, in Science, we researched non-flowering plants found on the school grounds and investigated the question, how do they reproduce without flowers?
Home Practice all relates to this week’s learning. These are the tasks needed to be completed:
- Reading – In Year 6, we read for a minimum of 20 minutes every day. You still have your new Reading Journal so any opinions, thoughts, discussions or vocabulary you come across, write them in there. We can then discuss these when you bring it into school.
- Spellings (-tion / -sion / -ssion words) which will be looked in detail from Monday:
-
- direction, collection, addition, action, rotation, creation, punctuation, subtraction, division, television, discussion, session, mission, percussion, profession
-
- Sumdog challenges:
- Addition – whole numbers
- SPAG – Verbs
- Spellings (-tion / -sion / -ssion words)
- Once again, I suggest to first write these out on a piece of paper, then play the games. We will look at these spellings in more detail from Monday so the spelling of these words will be easier after we have investigated them.
Year 3 Home Practice 2nd October 2020
Date: 1st Oct 2020 @ 9:01pm
We have had a very creative and exciting week in Year 3.
Thursday was National Poetry Day so we read some poems with actions and lots of expression. We chose our favourite which was ‘How to Turn Your Teacher Purple’ by James Carter. We performed this poem together and made a video – this is on the school website.
On Monday we travelled back in time and did some Stone Age art (pictures to follow when we have finished). We realised how talented people were in the Stone Age using what they could find to survive and communicate.
In Maths we have been using equipment to add hundreds, tens and units, in English we are still enjoying reading The Twits and in French we have been counting to 20 focussing on the different sounds of the letters.
Home Practice for 2nd October – 9th October
- Read to somebody at home every night for 20 minutes.
- Practise the x2 tables –
- Play ‘Hit the button’ https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/hit-the-button

- Go on Sumdog and complete the following challenge:
Number Challenge: 2nd October – 9th October – target 100 questions.
- Spellings:
gem, gym, giant, magic, giraffe, energy, digit, engine, religion, gentle
Make a word search with your spellings in, ask somebody at home to find the spellings.
- Research and then create a poster about different types of rocks.
Visit - https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/z9bbkqt
There are 4 learner guides and 7 class clips which you can look at.
The three types of rock you need to include are:
Igneous rock

Sedimentary rock
Make your poster easy to read and colourful. See if you can find some really interesting facts to share with the class.

Well done everyone for their response to the home practice we have set on Sumdog over the past weeks. Almost everyone has gone on and practised their learning at home and this has shown in the progress the children have made since returning to school.
We have added a few extra challenges this week but are keeping the number of questions in these to a managable level so all children can complete the tasks. Little and often is the key to home practice so keep up the great work.
Keep reading for 10 minutes every night. We have added an extra day for book changing on Mondays incase you forget on a Friday. We will still give out three books a week so please limit your change to one a week. We have also signed up to a huge library of ebooks on Oxford owl, tailored for our youngest children.

Practising these skills little and often will ensure firm foundations for learning throughout the year.

Another amazing week in Year 3. 
We went outside and had our first ‘Time To Talk’ where we discussed how to be a good friend. Throughout the week we have really worked well together and have been great friends to each other. We read some more of the Twits and wrote news reports about a mysterious sighting in the sky (Mrs Twit attached to balloons). We used clues to find out what life was like in the Stone Age and sorted and compared different rocks in Science. You can see some pictures of this in the galleries. In Maths we have been using number lines to round to the nearest 10 and used equipment to make and compare numbers up to 1000. Mrs Quilliam is proud of Year 3 for their first attempt at using a French dictionary.
I am already looking forward to another great week next week!

Year 6 Home Practice - 25th September 2020
Date: 24th Sep 2020 @ 2:54pm
Nearly one month has passed in Year 6 and you have all done extremely well. You are now organising yourselves efficiently with handwashing, the morning tasks and working on your individual targets. The past week we have introduced new Home Reading books and to clarify, these are the days each reading group will change their books:
Monday – Roller Coasters
Tuesday – Big Dippers
Wednesday – The Waltzers
We have had an amazing response with 100% of you changing your books this week. Remember, as always, read 20 minutes every day.
Our learning in Year 6 this week:
- Our place value knowledge has widened as we have ordered, compared, identified, rounded, added and subtracted numbers up to three decimal places.
- Using our novel, ‘Clockwork’, we have improved our reading skill of retrieval and learnt how to describe scenes using exciting vocabulary.
- In Geography, we located the three peaks of the UK (Ben Nevis, Snowdon, Scafell Pike) and compared Ordinance Survey maps to Google maps to help us figure out the best route up Scafell Pike.
- For RE, our topic of ‘Unconditional Love’ continued with the ‘Prodigal Son’ story where the children animated one of the scenes to show their understanding of how the story relates to our lives today.
- In Art, we have used the Apple version of PowerPoint, Keynote, to create some self-portrait art. Check out some of the pictures in our Year 6 gallery.
- In French, we have been practicing our numbers to 100 and learning how to say the different family names.
Home Practice all relates to this week’s learning. These are the tasks needed to be completed:
- Reading – you have all chosen your second Home Reading book for Year 6 this week so reading every night for 20 minutes is essential. You still have your new Reading Journal so any opinions, thoughts, discussions or vocabulary you come across, write them in there. We can then discuss these when you bring it into school.
- Spellings (-ious and ous words) which will be looked in detail from Monday:
-
- cautious, various, vicious, precious, conscious, conscientious, gracious, suspicious, perilous, hazardous, marvellous, adventurous, dangerous, glamourous, famous
-
- Sumdog challenges:
- Decimal Place Value
- SPAG – More Amazing Adjectives!
- Spellings (-ious words)
- I suggest writing these out first three times, then play the games. We will look at these spellings in more detail from Monday so the spelling of these words will be easier after we have investigated them.
