The Year 5 and Year 6 children have been learning how to code. Just before the school was closed, we were about to make our own computer game using Kodu. If the children would like to continue with it, the link is here:

If you get stuck, the online tutorials are excellent.

The White Rose Maths Team have prepared a series of five maths lessons for each year group from EYFS to Y6. They will be adding five more each week for the next few weeks. Every lesson comes with a short video showing you how to help your child complete the activity successfully.

Morning everyone.

I hope you are all well. I thought you would like to have a go at a problem solving activity. In the maze there are numbers in each of the cells. Can you find a way through the maze where the numbers add to exactly 100?

 Please keep practising your times tables on TT Rockstars. You have all impressed me so much in how quick and accurate you are. If you can’t remember your password, do let me know and I’ll send it to you.

I have added a link to a speedy tables sheet that we usually do each morning. Ask an adult to choose a column and then time how long it takes you to answer all the questions. Can you still answer them in under 2 minutes?

SPEED SHEET 

Finally, remember to record your daily reading in your reading diary. Five days is worth one sticker. I would love to see what you have been reading; it would be great if you could write a review and recommend a book to me. A review is worth an extra sticker!

At the moment I am reading ‘The Infinite Lives of Maisie Day’. I’ll let you know how I get on with it.

Take care.

Mrs Bower

Hello – I hope everyone is keeping well.

Pete McKee  will be posting carton workshop lessons every Wednesday from today, for the next few weeks. They will be uploaded to the Pete McKee Youtube channel. All you will need is a few pieces of card, scrap paper and some pencils or pens.

Good afternoon, Snowy Owls and Golden Eagles. I hope you are all keeping safe and well.

I’d like to share one of my favourite mathematical games with you. You can play this online or make your own simple game board and play against someone at home. (Even better – work it out by playing online and then challenge an adult!) Start with two frogs on either side then increase. If you find out the minimum number of moves each time, you should soon start to see a pattern.
