Arithmetic – there is a video in the Video Resource Centre to discuss some of this week’s trickier questions. Please complete the calculations in your grey Maths books, marking your work afterwards with the answers (which are on the last page).

English

In English, we are now exploring biographies. We will be exploring the life of Anne Frank, a famous young girl who lived during World War Two. The video for this week in the Video Resource Centre talks through each lesson and explains your activities – if you are unable to watch the video, please explore the English overview for this week and the resources.

** For Lesson 3, all dates should be in the 1900s (there was a random 1833 date, which should say 1933) **

Big Write

For your Big Write this week, you will be applying your learning of the Blitz from this week’s History learning. I would like you to write a newspaper report of a night of the bombing – please view the video in the Video Resource Centre for support, as well as the resource below which includes a checklist and also an example of how you can set out your work.

Reading

Reading for pleasure: read a book, e-book, magazine or comic of your choice.

Reading 1: p12-13 in your KS2 English Comprehension book. Answers are posted below.

Reading 2: p14-15 in your KS2 English Comprehension book. There is a video in the Video Resource Centre discussing this text. Answers are posted below.

SPaG

Your SPaG this week is focusing on apostrophes. Before Christmas, we spent a lot of time exploring apostrophes for contractions (such as ‘don’t’) and apostrophes for possession (such as ‘it is Sarah’s dog’).

Please complete p52, p53, p54 and p55 of your KS2 English Grammar, Spelling & Punctuation book – one page should be completed each day. Make sure that you read the explanations at the top of each page. On Friday, please mark your work using the answers on p107-108.

Spelling

This week’s spellings are based on words ending in -tial after a consonant. Look at this week’s activities – don’t forget to complete the assignment on Spelling Shed too. Who will make it to the top of the class this week?

If you want to, you can complete p76 and p77 of the CGP KS2 Grammar, Punctuation and Spelling book - this is a useful recap for last week's spellings as well as this week's.

History

This week’s History lesson is focusing on the Blitz, which was a period of time during WW2 where London was bombed every night. Have a look through the information and then for your activities, as well as the video in the Video Resource Centre.

P.S.H.E

Our P.S.H.E lesson is continuing to explore discrimination. Have a look through the information resource below, which explains what your activities are – the texts are included separately so they are easier to read.

P.E

Please complete the activities on the resource below - we will be doing this on two separate days to see how our fitness improves.
