Week 3 = Beginning 18th January 2021
Wk 3 - Literacy
I hope you are enjoying our new novel The Wolf Wilder. It would be good to hear your comments about it on our Purple Mash Class Blog.
Below you will find this week's plan and the next group of chapters that you will need to read.
This week you will begin to write your first mini chapter for your own novel. You will need to upload your work and send it to the school office, so that I can give you some feedback.
Wk 3 - Maths
Below you will find links to the worksheets for this week's learning. This is our last week of Multiplication and Division so the last activity is an End Of Unit Assessment. As usual, I would ask you to try your best. I have also added some Reasoning and Problem Solving questions - you could try as many of them as you can. Remember to explain your idea or show your working out.
When you have completed the assessment please email the school office with your score.
As we have not worked together on Division in school, I have listed some links to videos (from White Rose) that will talk you through examples. These may be more helpful than the usual videos on the White Rose Home Learning page.
