10 minute shake up

Recently children have brought home information from Change 4 life on their latest campaign, 10 minute shake up.  Similar to our daily Wake Up Shake Up activity, here is a 10 minute shake up video for you to follow at home.

Code Club

It was the last Code Club of the year on Tuesday. This term, we’ve had the highest participation in two years and also the highest number of female coders.

As well as using Scratch this term, we’ve started building our own webpages using Trinket.

A massive thank you must go to Linda Broughton who gives up her time every Tuesday to run Code Club. Thanks also to Mr Baynes and Mrs Freeman who have helped out this year.

Maths Problems

Explaining subtraction by decomposition using Base 10 resources.

Earth, sun and moon

This week, we’ve created videos demonstrating how the earth orbits our sun and how the moon orbits the sun.

Space Dome

Last week, we learnt about the planets and stars in a Space dome. We found out that the stars in our sky change across the year. We also learnt about how the earth and moon move in relation to our sun.

I can complete a diary about my lifestyle.

This includes what snacks they eat, how much they exercise do and how long they spend doing different activities. The homework has come from Mrs Taylor, who leads health in our school – it doesn’t take long to fill in and is used by local government to understand what children’s lives are like and how healthy they are. The diaries remain confidential and personal information will not be discussed in school if children don’t want to.

This week’s homework is creative homework. Please make sure it is handed in by Wednesday 08 July.

I can show what I know about plants and trees.

Our  “Green Fingers” topic is nearly finished so we would like the children to show us what they have learnt.  They can do this is any way that they want.  We will share all of their learning together towards the end of the week.
