Marvellous Maths

Today we are going to be continuing with our work on decimals. More specifically, we are going to be subtracting decimals with the same number of decimal places. There is a video that you can watch to support your learning today which you can access by clicking here. We are working on Summer term – Week 2 (w/c 27th April): Lesson 2 – Subtracting decimals with the same number of decimal places. Remember you can present your work whichever way works for you and we are always here to support you by email.

Excellent English

Today you are going to be carrying on with English tasks based upon ‘Tales of the Caribbean’ that you started to look at yesterday. Go though the PowerPoint and have your role on the wall nearby from yesterday, it may come in handy. If you would like to listen to the story again then Mrs Poole’s video is still available on yesterday’s post (using the same password as always). You can choose whether to write or type your character description.

Superb Science

Today we are going to continue to learn about living things, but moving away from animals. We are going to be thinking about plants and their life cycles. As you work your way through the PowerPoint and watch the videos, we would like you to make notes about each section of the the life cycle. We have attached a sheet for you to do this on if you would like, or we are happy for you to choose another way to present it. We will be going into more detail on Pollination and Fertilisation in a future lesson.

Optional Daily Time Fillers
