Your learning today is factors.

  • A factor is a number that divides into another number exactly and without leaving a remainder.

Reading task: inference

Look at this picture and answer the inference questions.

History/writing task

Watch the videos and create a fact sheet about the Vikings and how they lived.  It would be great if you could take a photo and email it to me on [email protected]

 

 

World Book Day 2020

This week, we’ve been celebrating World Book Day by sharing stories for ten minutes each day. Yesterday, lots of children brought in their favourite book to share with the class. Foundation had a great time dressing up as a favourite book character, whilst KS1 and KS2 visited Scholes Primary School to watch a Hobgoblin performance of Wind in the Willows.

Sports Relief

Sports Relief is on Friday 13 March 2020.  To recognise this, each class will be taking part in a sporting challenge.

Foundation: dance challenge

Y1-4: skipping challenge

Y5/6: netball shooting challenge

Children are invited to come to school in a sports kit.  Voluntary donations for Sports Relief are welcomed.

Living and Learning: Safer Internet Day

This year, Safer Internet Day had the theme ‘Together for a better internet’ and we discussed what this means in a class discussion. The children had some brilliant and mature suggestions on how we can make others happy online and what makes us happy online.

“I like to make others happy online by face timing them and telling them that they’re amazing and really kind.”

“I like to make others happy online by telling people good things about them and calling to check they’re OK.”

“I like to make others happy online by making them feel like they aren’t the only ones who have experienced cyber bullying.”

“Something that makes me happy online is to play games and explore the internet.”

 

Living and Learning: I make safe choices.

This week, we’ve been thinking about making safe choices in different situations. Here are some suggestions made in a class discussion:

“If somebody tells you or asks you to do something inappropriate online then report, block and tell a trusted adult.”   Sofia

“If your friends are peer pressuring you to try a cigarette or an e cigarette then tell them you don’t want to and walk away.” Mya

” If you’re crossing a road, always try and find a zebra or pelican crossing to cross rather than anywhere random.” Rodi
