Hello Year 5/6 parents,

As you are aware we are not in tomorrow, Monday 23rd November. I am just writing to explain what will be happening tomorrow, concerning their work and zoom times. 

The children will not be using the packs sent home, there will be individual class lessons with zoom calls to support them. The zoom calls are mandatory and attendance will be taken. 

Our first zoom call is at 11:30am and this will cover the English lesson.

Our second zoom call is at 3:00pm and this will cover the Maths lesson.

These are resources to support the lesson. If you do not have access to a printer then you can complete the activities on a piece of paper. 

With thanks 

Miss Buckley 

The sheets above are split into, 1 star, 2 stars and 3 stars.

Using your guided reading groups, complete the following activity:

Red group = 1 star activity 

Yellow and Orange group = 2 star activity 

Green and Silver group = 3 star activity

Please underline your fronted adverbials, adjectives (expanded noun phrases), relative clauses and subordinate clauses in different colours. 

If you can't print any sheets at home, you can complete the work on a lined or blank piece of paper.

Dear Year 5/6,

This is just a recap of what was discussed on the zoom call today regarding the work. 

For English this week, the children need to complete the planning and write up of their Newspaper report on the opening of Stonehenge. There is also a reading comprehension that the children can do from Friday's work.

They DO NOT start the information text unit, this is in case the government decide on a circuit breaker during half term.

For Maths, the year 6's need to complete the following worksheets:

• Long division (2)
• Long division (3)
• Long division (4)
• Factors 

The year 5's need to complete these worksheets:

• Use line graphs to solve problems
• Read and interpret tables
• Two-way tables
• Timetables

All resources, including the video, are below. 

DO NOT continue through the booklet. The multiplication and division (year 5) unit is for the circuit breaker. For the year 6's the following worksheets are for the circuit breaker to. 

Topic:

Complete Friday's lesson on the prehistoric settlements (resources are further down the page). Then using the personalised questions complete at least 1 activity for this week. If you completed the prehistoric settlements task on Friday, complete 2 activities from the personalised learning sheet this week.
