Hi everyone,

We hope you are all having a good week and enjoying the activities we have set for you.

Below is a link to a website with lots of free resources all about money. Have a little look over the next few days.

Don’t forget you can also access TTRS at home, as well as all of the BBC bitesize daily lessons in a range of subjects.

Happy home learning 🙂

This week’s science is all about materials that will dissolve.  Some solids will dissolve in water to form a solution. These materials are known as soluble.  Your challenge is to investigate which solids around your house will dissolve in water. Try mixing a small amount of the solid with water and observing what happens.  You could try: salt, sugar, sand, soil, flour, chalk…

(Remember to ASK AN ADULT before you raid the kitchen cupboards!)

It would be brilliant if you could do this practically, but if not, you could always research the answers instead.  The links below give you plenty of information to get you started.

BBC Bitesize What is dissolving?

We would love to hear what you have found out. You could take photographs, write up your investigation or create a table of your results – it’s up to you!

Extra Challenge:  Can you investigate whether those solids will dissolve in other liquids, such as cooking oil?

Hi everyone,

Here are some maths activities to have a go at throughout the week.

Multiplication and Division Learning from Home – Workbook – Booklet

Multiplication and Division Learning from Home – Answer Book – Boolket

For the long division, remember the turtle head method we learnt in Set 3 to help you. Below is a link to a youtube video which clearly explains this method.

Something else lots of you have found trick is multiplying and dividing by 10,100 and 1000. The PPT below will show you how to do this easily by moving the numbers in their place value columns. Have a little look at the PPT if you’re unsure.

Remember you can also access BBC bitesize daily maths lessons as well as the daily challenge through the White rose maths party (see previous post on website for link to this). You also all have logins to TTRS so keep on practising those times tables, they are so important!

Enjoy everyone 🙂

Don’t forget to also have a look at the BBC Bitesize daily lessons. This week as well as daily lessons in Maths and English, there is also a History, Geography, Science and Music lesson to get stuck into 🙂

Try and complete some of these activities over the next few days and either email or get mum/dad to post on Facebook so we can see what you have achieved.

Well done to all the children who have been playing TTRS over the last few weeks.

A special mention to Matthew, Olly B, Theo, Charlie, Aaruren, Elizabeth, Darcy J, Lily, Ruby and Sarah-Louise who have a been playing lots since we’ve been off school.
