Wednesday 19th May 2020, Elm Class learning

Happy Wednesday Elm Class!

Spellings: Today for the prefixes we have looked at so far this week (im, ir, il, re and sub), can you practice a selection of these words using a look, say, cover, write check method?

Arithmetic: This week, we are going to practice long division. We have done this plenty of times in class, so you should have a good idea of the method, the key with this is to remember to write down the 2, 4, 5 and 10 times table of the number you are dividing by first, this will really help you later on with the calculation. Remember to also check your working back for any calculation errors. I have attached a video to explain this if you need a recap: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mvgV5REvDb4

8784 ÷24=

6685 ÷ 35 =

5546 ÷47=

Grammar: Today we are going to recap determiners. Determiners are the words that come before the noun to give the reader more information about the noun. For example, this could indicate how many of the noun there is or who the noun belongs to. For example: I bought a chocolate bar.

or I bought two chocolate bars. ‘a and two’ show how many of the noun there is. Can you identify the determiner in each of these sentences?

1. The table was very low.

2. Quick! Our toast is burning!

3. Their hot food looked delicious.

4. There are many bridges in London.

5. I need another pen to carry on.

6. She lost her bike at the park today.

7. Five boats sailed away.

8. Would you like to read a book?

English: Read chapter 22 (Grieving) and chapter 23 (Post Script) of Goodnight Mister Tom. We are going to finish the book today!

Maths: Could you have a go at a different challenge today? If you have already had a go at plotting co-ordinates, could you maybe have a go at reflection or translation? Have you made your own compass yet? See the list of activities attached to this post.

Japan Activities for the week!

Our weekly focus for this week is: Round up Research!

This week I would like you to use your time to find out anything else about Japan which you haven’t found out yet! You could revisit any of the tasks from the previous weeks which you didn’t manage to complete or research your own interests!
