Year 5 | Homework & Spellings

by Miss Crosby & Miss Addison

Homework:

There are 3 tasks set on PurpleMash this week for the children to complete by Wednesday 3rd November.

Below is the list of spellings that the children need to learn by Friday 5th November when they will be tested. The children have a long list of spellings but they are the spellings from Autumn 1 which the children have already learnt but found tricky. They will be tested on a random 10 of these; not them all!

Here is a link to their spelling games: https://www.educandy.com/site/resource.php?activity-code=bfd04

Year 4 | Year 4 homework - Who are Africa's inspiring queens?

by Mr Carruthers & Miss Dhanda

Well done for a wonderful first half term in Year 4! Do make sure your week off includes a little work, but plenty of rest and play.

This week, our monarch Queen Elizabeth has been to hospital because she was poorly. We quite often hear a lot in the news about the movements of our Queen, and other British kings and queens before her. But did you know, other countries, like Africa, have a history of kings and queens too?

Your homework for this next week, is to watch this video and find out about African queens. 

• Who are Africa's inspiring queens?
• What are they famous for?
• Which African Queen's inspires you and why?

Email us your thoughts to:

Mr Carruthers acarruthers@oldmoat.manchester.sch.uk or Miss Dhanda adhanda@oldmoat.manchester.sch.uk

Arithmetic and spelling practice

Please practise using the spelling techniques we have showed you. Spelling practise also includes using the words in sentences once you know how to spell them.

Next half term in school we will be learning about the history of toys.

Over the holidays we would like the children to talk with an adult about their favourite toys, how are they different to the toys we have today? 

 You could talk about the toys, share photos you have from when you were younger or play together with any toys you still have. Below are some pictures of when I was younger and some of the toys I played with to get you started. Are they the same as yours?

 

 

You can then draw a picture or take photos and send it to us, or write a comment on the blog.

We look forward to hearing from you,

Miss Bennett and Mrs Cain

Remember to read for at least 10 minutes every day during half term.  When you read, record it in your yellow Reading Record book so that you receive Dojos when you return to school!
