Home Learning Tasks
In the event of a Snow Day
At the bottom of this page you will find links / opportunities to engage in some Home Learning tasks. Most are to be found on your Purple Mash App
Science - BBC Bitesize - Go onto the BBC website and complete the learning on The Solar System. You need to learn the order of the planets within our Solar System.
Purple Mash Science - I have set you a 2Do assignment on creating your own Planet Profile. You can save it in your Purple Mash folder when it is finished.
Geography - Explore the BBC website. In the search bar at the top search for Mountains. Explore mountains around the World. Make a list of the 7 major Mountain ranges, their names, the continent they are found in and the highest peak within each range.
English Homework
English homework and spellings will be given on a Monday and due back in to mark in class on Thursday. Our class spelling test will take place on Fridays.
Please check your child's reading journal for which day of the week their book should be returned to school. It is important that your child reads at home daily for 10-15 minutes, to an adult whenever possible. Please comment in the reading journal after listening to your child.
Maths Homework
Maths homework will be given on a Monday and due in on Friday to be marked in class.
We ask that you encourage your child to plan out their week to ensure they are able to complete their homework. If they are struggling with a task that has been set, please encourage them to ask for help.
Homework should be signed by an adult once it is completed to say that you have seen it and are happy with their effort.
PE
PE lessons are on Wednesday and Fridays (swimming). Children will need both an indoor and outdoor kit, which should be in school at all times.
Indoor kit: white t-shirt, blue shorts, socks and black pumps.
Outdoor kit: a plain blue tracksuit, white t-shirt, socks and trainers.
Facts
I do believe something very magical can happen when you read a good book.
J.K. Rowling
