Maths Home Learning for Tuesday 24th March and Wednesday 25th March. You are going to learn how to order decimal numbers. Go through the two PowerPoints on Tuesday and then do the Secret Trails or Ordering numbers worksheet on Wednesday.
Maths Home Learning Wednesday 25th March: Look at these 2 great examples that teach you how to order decimal numbers on the PowerPoint and do parts B & C on the handout..
For the Secret Trails Activity, you need to add decimal numbers. For example: 0.4 + 0.3 + 0.1 = 0.8.
0.9 + 0.4 + 1.2 = 0.9 + 0.4 = 1.3 (0.9 + 01 = 1 or ten tenths). Now add 1.3 + 1.2 = 2.5. For further information go to the Khan Academy and look up adding decimal numbers.
Grammar and Literacy Home Task for Tuesday 24th March: Two PPTS and an information text on Chinese Dragons.
For Reading Comprehension 23.3.20: Using the skill of inference. It is so important to be able to 'read the mind' of the author when reading a good story. You can 'infer' what the author is trying to say and you will get so very much more out of the story. More to come.
History work for Week 23.3.20. King Alfred the Great - What made him 'great?' Go to BBC Bitesize video clip Alfred the Great. Read the bio below and fill out the bio worksheet.
RE lesson for the week of 23.3.2020 - The Eightfold Path of Buddhism
Write in your workbook, which three of the Eightfold 'right' things is most important to you. I want you to really think about it. For example, I think (for me) it is Right Intent. Right Intent requires you to be not be selfish and self-centered. You are not always thinking about yourself and your needs, but you are thinking about other people and what they need. You could also choose Right Speech and write about how powerful words are - either to build somebody up or tear them down.

Dear All
Welcome back to the second half of our Autumn Term.
We have now moved to our new classroom opposite Willow, which is lovely.
There are a couple of changes to note:
- Indoor PE is now on Wednesday as opposed to Monday.
- Music will now be taught on Tuesday.
- French will now be taught on Thursday.
Please will you ensure that your child brings into school their reading record and reading book everyday. I will sign the reading record on a daily basis so that I can see that your child has read. Please will you record the pages read in the record so that I can ask appropriate questions to check understanding.
Thank you for your assistance.
Kind regards
Mrs Chesterman
