Netball
Netball starts on Monday 21st September (3:30-4:10). Letters with details have come home today for those who played in Y5, but everyone is welcome. If you didn’t get a letter, let me know and, if you are allowed to, come along anyway (bringing a note from your family to say it is ok.)
Maths homework for 22.9.15
You should all have your own sheet of 10 questions to help you practise using your known number facts to multiply decimals and larger numbers. Remember to show your working out.
If you get stuck, write down what you think to try to show me where you are puzzled.
Don’t spend more than half an hour on this homework. If you are stuck at that point, stop and tell me.
HAVE A GO!
Cross Country
Remember the first cross country event is at Southam College on September 26th (9:45). Let’s field a really big team if we can! Every runner can win us points and you’ll feel really proud of yourself if you have a go at this inter-school event!
Some examples of important eSafety messages from Year 6
We have been doing a bit of practising learning j2e and reminding ourselves about eSafety messages. Here are some of the things we have created in just our first lesson of experimenting. Well done! We are going to be pretty ‘whizzy’ by the end of the year at this rate! Things will gradually get loaded without names to protect you all, but you’ll recognise your own work!
Negative numbers games
As you seemed to enjoy the Connect 3 (negative numbers) games today so much, here are the links to the NRICH site if you want to play the computer at home. (You can also choose to play a friend using the computer game on screen by selecting the play with a friend option at the bottom of the page (drop-down menu).
First connect 3 game with two ordinary (1-6) dice (instructions to play are here)
Connect 3 game with negative number dice (one with -1, -2, -3, 4, 5, 6 and the other with 1, 2, 3, -4, -5, -6) (instructions to play are here)
Have fun!
Homework 16.9.15
Write a poem using the title, ‘The Big City’
You can use ideas from our learning linked to ‘The Arrival’ or you may choose to use ideas of your own (e.g. feelings/smells/sounds you experienced yourself) in a visit to a new big city. The poem needs to be written in homework books and back in school for Tuesday, 22nd September,
If you want to, you could write another poem about anything you would like to. If this is in school by next Tuesday, I am happy to look at it and see whether it too could be considered for the Southam Lions Poetry competition.
Ordering numbers (including decimals)
This week we we have been looking at large whole numbers and numbers with decimals, practising ordering and rounding skills.
Remember ‘decimal places (d.p.)’ just tells you how many places there are to the right of the decimal point (e.g. 1 d.p. = tenths, 2 d.p. = hundredths or 3 d.p. thousandths).
If you want to practise ordering larger numbers and numbers including decimals, these games may help you.
Can anyone beat our class record so far of 18 points on the ‘Tricky Decimals’ ordering numbers game?
