Hi everyone
We hope you’re all OK and are managing to stay happy and healthy. It was a big day for Y5 yesterday as they found out which class they’ll be in next year – commiserations if you’re in Mrs Hogarth’s class again (it won’t be that bad!).
And Y6, thanks so much for the amazing response to sending in baby pictures. It’s going to be quite a big video so it will take some time for me to put it all together and edit it properly. I will make sure you have it before the end of next week!
Here’s your learning for today…
Y5 Maths
Click on the link above for today’s starter.
Your learning today is about subtracting decimals with different decimal places.
Y6 Maths
Now that you’re an expert on statistics and percentages, answer these White Rose questions. If, like me, you don’t own a protractor then skip the second part of question 7.

Read the description about the sports day race.
An egg and spoon race is a sporting event. Each person in the race must place an egg or ball on a spoon. If it falls off, you must stop and put the egg back on the spoon. The winner is the first to cross the finish line.
Think of your own race and write simple description of how to do it.
Challenge : Draw and label a picture of your race.
Topic
Make an obstacle course in your house or garden. Have a go at completing it a few times. See if you can get better each time. Make sure you put everything back where you got it from when you have finished!

Starter

Your learning for today is about subtracting decimals.
Year 6 Maths
Our lesson on finding an average will be very meaningful. Wait. Here’s a better one. Don’t let anyone call you average. It’s just mean.
Year 5/6 Reading
As this would have been our ‘sports week’ at school if all was normal, I thought we could use this as our learning platform. Choose a sport that you are particularly fond of and find an article about this sport. This could be something in the news, an online article about a team or player, the rules of the sport or anything else you can think of. Once you have your chosen piece of sporting information, create a RIC for other pupils to answer. As a challenge, see If you can create more questions after your RIC. Send your results into your class teacher – we look forward to using them next week!
Year 5/6 Living & Learning
Your lesson today is a Living & Learning lesson. You will be focusing on one of our 8Rs for learning – Mr Catherall thinks it might be the most important one! Do you agree? Watch this video and follow the instructions. You can access the website and resources you need here. Enjoy!

Today, you are going to design a ticket for a sporting event. It could be for any sport! Choose a sport that you enjoy watching or a sport that you usually play or participate in yourself. You could create a ticket for a team match, a competition or a sports session that you have taken part in. You could even design one for a PE lesson or our virtual sports day.
Make sure your ticket:
is eye catching and colourful
contains a picture of the sport
shows the time and date of the sporting event
Here are a few ideas for sports tickets. There is also an example of a template design but it would be wonderful if you could design your own.
Have fun and please email us your designs.
