Homework Week 4

Apart from Reading, Spelling and Times tables we need to start getting ready for our Living Museum Display. We will be doing this on Wednesday after our long run. For the display we need to bring along things that will tell others about our hobbies, interests and sports or musical instruments we play. We will need to display these on our desk. We need to make sure that everything has a label and a description. We will get a note to take home about this on Tuesday.

Year 6s also need to complete the Carbon Footprint Sheet.
Science - everyone needs to complete the Energy Audit Sheet.

Homework Due on Thursdays

The Home Work routine for all of the Middle Years Classes is to complete the Homework given out on Monday by that Thursday.
We will discuss this in greater detail at the Acquaintance Night and then publish it on our Blog in a new section called Documents.
Students are starting to get the hang of the new routines and most are using their diaries well. I usually check the diaries on a weekly basis so that I can identify students who need help with organisation. If parents have written a note in the diary, I ask that the diary is placed on my desk in the morning by the student.
Students now have Studyladder usernames and passwords. They were glued into their diaries in the Notes section today.
In maths we have been discussing numbers and place value and have used the terms - tens, hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions. Some students have worked on numbers as large as trillions.
The Maths websites below will help them to consolidate this work.

Today during our Maths lesson in the computer room we used the following websites.
Students can use these at home too. The website addresses were shortened at the goo.gl website.
