This week’s homework is Creative and is due in on Thursday 10th May.

I can show what I know about 2D shapes.

In class, the children have studied lots of 2D shapes and their properties. We have also learnt about symmetry and rotation. There are so many ways in which the children can show us how much they have learnt in a creative way.

Below are a few ideas. Have fun!

This week, our homework is Creative:

I can show who inspires me. 

This week, we’ve focussed on the verb ‘to inspire‘. Because of this, we’ve read about, and discussed, some famous people who have inspired others. I’d like you to share with the class who inspires you.

We have discussed this in class and children came up with the following ideas:

  • you could print a picture of the person and explain what they do to inspire
  • you could film yourself imitating that person
  • you could make a poster about your idol
  • you could bring in something that reminds you of that  person
  • you could use a shoe box to recreate a situation where that person is doing what inspires you
  • you could make a model of your  inspiration
  • you could create a fact book about that person

and, obviously, there are many more ideas, too!

Homework should be returned on Friday 04 May 2018.

Are games consoles such as PlayStations a good thing?

This week’s homework is Practice Makes Perfect and is due in on Friday 04 May.

At Moortown, we have updated one of the website pages – the Learn More > Calculations page:
https://www.moortown.leeds.sch.uk/learn-more/calculations/

The new content includes a list of downloadable tests. When you download, you can change the test each time by pressing F9 to keep you on your toes! These quizzes can be used alongside shorter, sharper learning at home.

This week, children should take five minutes and see if they can beat the score we’ve recently done in class. Remember to take your time, especially with the questions that have the blank box in the middle!

The homework this week is talk time:

I can find out about the past by talking to an older person.

People are an invaluable evidence source when learning about the past. For this homework, children should talk to parents, grandparents and possibly great-grandparents to find out about aspects of their life as children: school, toys, food, transport, houses, etc.

This week’s homework is Practice Makes Perfect and will be marked as a class on Friday 04 May (as school is closed on Thursday).

We’ve been working on our vocabulary this week so all of the children have some questions to complete based on our learning. These questions should be able to be completed independently but see whether your child can explain three of their answers to you.

This week’s homework is Practice Makes Perfect and is due on Thursday 26 April.

I can complete arithmetic questions.

All of the children have created 20 arithmetic questions to practise at home. They’ve focused more on the questions they’re less confident on but should be able to answer all of the independently. Any questions that can be checked with a calculator can be marked themselves and then we’ll look at any others together in class.
