Home learning Week beginning 29^th November 2021:

Hello to everybody who is not in school this week. We hope you are feeling ok and we’re looking forward to seeing you soon. Remember – you don’t have to work from home if you feel too poorly – this work is for people who are feeling well but are unable to come to school for another reason (such as isolating).

 (Please keep checking back as more work will be added throughout the week, and don't forget to spend time on Reading Plus and TT Rockstars)

Maths:

Improper fractions to mixed numbers

Please watch this video: https://vimeo.com/467394996

Then complete these questions. Here are some more challenging ones. The digits are a bit bigger so drawing bar models may be time consuming - simply divide the top number by the bottom number! Any remainders simply need to be placed over the denominator as the fraction part of your mixed number.

Topic:

Can you learn all of the facts on your knowledge organiser for Rise of The Robots? Ask an adult to test you! Perhaps take a different section each day throughout the week? Perhaps you could make note to help you learn. You could then turn your notes into an eye-catching information poster.

Spellings:

Use all of your spelling tactics to practise this week's spellings! Rainbow words, Pyramid words, write the word backwards.... you decide!
