Please let me know if there is anything you have particularly enjoyed doing or found useful on the transition page or if there is anything else that you would find useful for me to offer advice about on it. Don't forget it is constantly being updated, so make sure you keep checking back.
Here is your home learning for this week:
Friday
Maths:
Y5 – Using what you learned about frequency tables yesterday, choose your own data to collect. It could be for a sport you like, a game you design in the garden or even in your house or it could be about something you see out of your window such as vehicles or wildlife – the choice is yours! The more exciting/creative the better! Find a simple way of recording the information, then turn it into a tally and then a frequency table. You could look back at yesterday’s work to give you ideas/for help. You will need to make sure you use a ruler for all your tables and present your work neatly. Record your work in your maths book. Remember the short date and the title: Frequency Tables.
Make sure you send your work to headteacher@netherseal.derbyshire.sch.uk to display on next week’s home learning page and so I can see what ideas you came up with.
Y6 – Continue and complete your maths work on fractions. Don’t forget there are also some related online quizzes to complete, if you have finished the uploaded questions.

Y5/6 Writing:
Continue and complete writing up your story from yesterday. Then re-read your story.
Self-assess against your year group’s writing self-assessment criteria, which can be found on the Class 1 ‘Home Learning’ home page.
Which features have you included?
Which do you now need to add in/make sure you include next time?
Either print off and complete the success criteria and attach it to your piece of work, or record your self-assessment under your piece of writing, using stars for things you think you have done and an arrow for a wish for next time e.g.
* Used all the basic punctuation from the list, plus hyphens
* Used semi-colons, colons and dashes
* Used modal verbs
* Used ambitious vocabulary
* Appropriate opening and closing
* Used a wide range of sentence lengths and structures
* Wrote appropriately for the given purpose

Make sure I use examples from the spelling criteria
Make sure I include passive voice
I would love to create an online collection of all your stories for your class mates to read, so please email them (if they are electronic) or take a photo and email them to headteacher@netherseal.derbyshire.sch.uk
Y5/6 Topic:
You have two tasks linked to your learning on light today. Both can be found in the documents uploaded below.
For the ‘Light Wordsearch’ you can either print it out and complete it or try to find the answers on screen. Once you have completed it, make sure you know the meaning of all the words, by researching the ones you are unfamiliar with in a dictionary or online.
The second task is a challenge to see if you can use your knowledge to solve the ‘Light it Up’ challenge.
Don't forget to send me photos of the science you have been up to this week!
Have a lovely weekend and I look forward to seeing you all next week for another week of home learning. Don’t forget to send me what you have been up to!

Reading:
Y5 – Read chapter 18 of Good Night Mr. Tom. We have met lots of different characters in this novel and a lot of them have changed over time. Your task today is called paper faces. Choose one or more of the main characters and for each character you choose, use a paper plate or make or draw a circle to represent the face of your character.
On one side of the plate/circle draw how you think your character would look the first time you meet them and on the other side, how they looked when you met them later in the novel. Add key words and quotations on either side of your plate/circle which support your thoughts.
e.g. If you choose Willie, you could draw how you think he looked in London on one side
How did he feel? What did he look like?
Think about his hair, face and appearance. Would he have been happy or sad?
On the other side draw how he would look in the countryside.
Then add quotes from the text to either side.
If you record your paper faces in your English book. Remember the long date and the title: Good Night Mr Tom – Paper Faces

Then use your year group’s success criteria for writing (which can be found on the Class 1 home learning home page) to create target sentences, which you will include in your story. Just like we would usually do in school. Remember the long date and the title: Story Plan.
