Well done for another excellent week Chestnut Class and... for an amazing coronation assembly! A very proud teacher, I am. 

Please find attached your homework and spellings for this week. 

Enjoy the bank holiday weekend and see you on Tuesday!

Miss Long

Good morning Chestnut Class!

Please find your homework attached below, but a paper copy has been sent home as well. This week, you'll be making a moon dial to explore the different phases. This homework will begin this week and you need to record the phases of the moon over the duration of the week and into the Easter holiday. 

Try and record it each day quickly or alternately every two days, but don't leave it too long... as you may not see the pattern! 

I have also attached your spellings below. 

Please find below the spellings for this week and the homework. 

The children have learnt equivalent fractions before, but may need some help to look back over some examples (see the top of the homework). The challenge is only for those children who would like to complete it. 

Hello Chestnut Class, 

You do not need to record anything for your homework during half-term. I want you to spend the week thinking about mindfulness to support Children's Mental Health Week. 

I have attached some mindfulness activities which you can do at home with your families. 

Spend a little time this week to think about yourself and what you need to relax and feel at your happiest. 

Have a lovely half-term, 

Miss Long

In the coming weeks, both year 4 and 5 children will be moving onto multiplication and division in maths. For them to be able to access the methods and have a deep understanding of the reasoning they need to have a secure knowledge of their times tables. 

Therefore, for their homework this week they need to refresh their times tables. 

All the year 5s did superbly in their multiplication test last year, so they just need to practise and consolidate their timetables! 

All year 4s are doing amazingly and are becoming more and more confident with their times tables - however it is important that they keep practising to be ready for their multiplication test in June. 

Below are links to practise timetables and I have also attached examples of physical ways they can practise. 

Times tables memory game – Timestables.co.uk

Times tables shooting – Timestables.co.uk

Hit the Button - Quick fire maths practise for 6-11 year olds (topmarks.co.uk)

Coconut Multiples - Reinforce Times Tables (topmarks.co.uk)

The most important resource, is TTRockstars - please ensure the children are completing 'soundchecks' regularly to increase their rapid recall.
