Friday 29th January

Welcome to Friday!

Spellings: Rule 21: adding suffixes beginning with a vowel to polysyllabic words.

It’s test day. Watch the spelling test video on dojo to complete the spelling test.

Quick Write: Sick sentences

Look at the powerpoint below, to have a go at improving these sentences.

Hint: you could add adjectives to add detail (2A sentences), start the sentences with adverbs (fronted adverbials), start the sentences with an emotion, start the sentences with an ‘ing’ verb etc.

How many different improvements can you make?

(You may choose to use some of your improved sentences in your setting description)

Note: this week there are separate lessons for year 4 and year 5 children.

Year 4: Multiplication and division check

Over the past few weeks, we have been learning about multiplication and division. Test your knowledge by having a go at the multiplication and division questions below. Think carefully about using your strategies to help you answer the questions. How many can you get right!

Note to parents: there is a separate sheet for multiplication and a separate sheet for division. I would recommend giving children a break in between the two worksheets.

Parents: I have also uploaded the answer sheet (Y4 MATHS ANSWERS) for you to refer to.

Year 5: Multiplication and Division check

You have worked really hard to learn new efficient strategies for multiplication and division. Test your knowledge by having a go at the questions. Think carefully about using your new strategies to work out the answers. See how many you can get right.

Parents: I have also uploaded the answer sheet (Y5 MATHS ANSWERS) for you to refer to.

 Extra challenge: Word Problems

Now you are multiplication masters and dynamic dividers, can you write your own multi-step word problems involving multiplication and division? Upload your word problems to dojo and they may shared through the power of dojo to challenge your class mates.

You can also use some of the images of a frozen world on the powerpoint below to help generate more ideas.

In your setting description, you will need to use a range of descriptive devices e.g.

• expanded noun phrases,
• similes
• metaphors
• powerful vocabulary

Hint: some of the expanded noun phrases and similes and metaphors you created earlier this week can be used in your writing.

Vary the start of your sentences (so they don’t always start with ‘I’) by using:

• Fronted adverbials
• Conjunctions

Also, think carefully about your punctuation…

• Capital letters
• Full stops
• Commas
• Exclamation marks
