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

Starter

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.

Y5,6 Reading

Learning about the world around is really important – and it can be really interesting, too. For your learning today, complete this First News comprehension.

Maths

Have a go at the subtractions below.

Reading

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!

Year 5 Maths

Starter

Use the Topmarks website to play ‘Hit the button.’ Put your times table knowledge to the test.

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!

Talk to a parent, sibling or friend who has also tried building up the hundred square.  How did s/he do it?  What do you like about her/his method?

Topic

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.

Whole school sporting activities

Sadly, our favourite events of the year – sports days – cannot take place in it’s normal format this year. However, the next best thing is to take part in a virtual sports day and we’re excited to be joining the West Yorkshire Virtual School Games Sports Day on Tuesday 7th July. The day will involve the children taking part in multiple activities with the chance to compete against other schools across the county. There will be a number of prizes on offer too.
What do you need to do?
Have a look at the guidance for parents/carers to help you prepare for the day.
When does it take place?
There is a live opening ceremony shown here at 10am on Tuesday 07 July and the activities can be completed at any point in the day.
Is this just for children who are back at school?
No – the activities can be done by children at school and at home. The sports day will be one of your child’s home learning activities on the day.
What are the activities?
The parent guide gives details of all the activities and instructions will also be given on the video released on the day.
Do children have to complete all the activities?
We would encourage the children to have a go at as many as they can but they don’t have to complete them all.
How do we submit results?
This is the link to submit results (live from 10am on 07 July up till 12pm on the 08 July). All children’s results will be added to their school score.
We would love to see the virtual sports day in action so please share any photos of your children taking part and good luck to everyone!
