Snow Day!

Because of today’s snow, we’d like you to have a go at some home learning if you can. Below are three links with fun activities you can choose from-just pick what works best for you, there’s no need to do everything.

English

Over the last few weeks, we have been working hard to use semi colons to join two main clauses. Watch this video, then use this website to practise this skill.

Maths

Miss Smith's and Miss Sanders group

 Once you’ve finished turning into mini snowpeople and are back inside getting warm, I would like you to have a look at the ratio activities.

• The first two activities are revision of what we have covered over the last three lessons.

• The final section, “Using scale factors,” introduces the learning you will be covering on Monday. If you would like to get a head start, this would be a great activity to try.

⭐ P.S. We will give a star to anyone who can come and tell us the mistake in the second activity: “Converting between ratios, fractions and percentages”!

Miss Faulkner's and Mrs Milnes' groups

We have been focusing on adding and subtracting proper fractions and mixed numbers. Watch this video, then have a go at the examples on the website.

Art

In Art this term, we will be looking at the artist, Banksy. Watch this video in the website link, then have a go at creating your own Banksy creation!

If you build something amazing in the snow, we’d love to see it! You can send pictures of your creations to advice@mapledeneschool.com.

Most of all, stay safe and enjoy the snow!

Have fun,

Miss Faulkner, Miss Smith, Miss Sanders and Mrs Milnes

Please ensure your child is reading for at least ten minutes every day! We want to see their reading records in school each day so that we can monitor how their reading is going at home.
