1st June 2020 – Week 7
As we open one door into June, we close another on our topic of Titanic. If you’ve any work I haven’t seen, do send it in so that you can get credit for your efforts! I've been hugely impressed, in particular, by the science experiments and news articles that you've completed this last week. All of the work that I've been sent has been excellent. You've quickly become experts and you've really proven your research skills!
This month I'd like to build on those research skills. I'm going to ask you to choose your own direction, by researching and completing a project that means a lot to you. Over the last two years I've seen you complete tremendous projects on locations, animals and even events in history. One suggestion for this project is that it could be centred on a hero or an inspirational figure (famous, local, past, present or personal), but you can take it in a completely different direction if you wish. This is your project, so follow your passion/inspiration! If you're unsure, just get in touch through Seesaw. |
Numeracy - Snowboard Slalom
Click on the picture to open Snowboard Slalom, a great game to practise your numeracy skills.
You can work on your times tables, choose fractions of whole numbers or even convert them to percentages.
Use the arrow keys to turn your snowboarder right or left, and steer them through the correct answer to each question!
Note: You can only steer through the correct answer once for each question – if it pops up again and you snowboard through it, it'll slow you down!

Literacy - Collective Nouns
A collective noun is a noun used to refer to a group of something. For example, a swarm of bees or a pod of dolphins. Collective nouns are particularly used in the animal kingdom and when they are they can be called terms of venery. Some of them are very peculiar! Find out which animals belong to these collective nouns, and then choose 5 other animals to find out what their collective nouns are! 1. A crash of ________. 2. A tower of __________. 3. A parliament of __________. 4. A kaleidoscope of ___________. 5. A skulk of __________. |
Literacy - Synonyms and Antonyms
A synonym is a word that has a similar meaning as another word, like warm and toasty.
An antonym is a word that has the opposite meaning of another word, like boiling and freezing.
The term synonym can be easily remembered because it starts with an S, like same or similar.

School Uniform Day
A big well done to those of you who put on your uniform or put up pocket money to donate to the School Uniform Day, last Friday 29th May. £2875 was raised for our local NHS and care homes, a brilliant cause!
Enjoy the sun!
This weekend has seen temperatures break beyond 20°C and I've already heard from a number of you that you're making the most of the good weather! I encourage all of you to do just that, safely with your family. I'd also ask that you send a picture of you doing so! Get some exercise (remember to stay hydrated), write a poem, sketch what you can see, take your book into the shade or just put some sunglasses on and enjoy the heat!
