Homework Saturday 5th December

This week we begin our new unit of inquiry on Astronomy
The Y5 classes compete to be the first to collect 100 different items related to "Space" Please bring these Space items to school Sunday and Monday this week.
We reached number 41 today :)
For example; a Mars bar wrapper (represents the planet Mars), an empty box (represents the 'space' inside) Children should research and do lots of thinking during this activity.
Maths - Daily Maths 1 + 2
Photocopy Masters p126
Times Tables - Multipliction and Division Fast recall
http://www.learnyourtables.co.uk/ (I like this website)
www.woodlands-junior.kent.sch.uk/maths/timestable/interactive.htm
There are many interactive games on the website above that will help you to learn and remember your timestables facts. Try them until you find one that makes you think and challenges you.
I recommend "Ghost Blasters" "Maths Magician" and "Meteor Multiplication", but you might prefer one of the other games. Enjoy :)
(If you don't have internet access then write down random numbers and try to multiply them quickly - check your results carefully to see how you have done.)
Spelling - Crossword and collect 5 personal spellings
Reading
Sign
