As Skipper and Admiral know I have a little obsession with penguins. I have just watched an awesome film called Mr Poppers Penguins! I highly recommend it!
Students have each been set homework on MyMaths and/or I Am Learning. These are personalised so not every student will have the same work. If your son or daughter logs into I AM LEARNING and clicks on their calendar, or logs into MyMaths it will show on the screen what tasks they need to do.
These are tasks that students have already attempted but need to go back and have another go.
The benchmark that I’d like them to aim for on each MyMaths or I AM LEARNING is 85%. If they get lower than this I’d like them to think about where they go wrong and have another go if they can. They get feedback in I AM LEARNING so it is a case of trying to remember their mistakes. You might want to ask questions to help them in MyMaths or if they are still stuck they can let me know.
On that note, I have set a longer deadline so that they can try again before/over the weekend and then use JOLT and homework club if they are still unsure. The work is due by Tuesday evening at 8pm.
Thanks!
A fantastic effort by the Crew making a range of different cookies that they sold to other crew members. The money raised was put in the Children in Need pot that has so far raised £100.00.
The crew voted to dress in Onesies or Pyjamas. Thank you for all making the effort!
Students have been set 3 tasks.
1. To complete a very short survey
2. To complete a task on I AM LEARNING.
3. To make the contents page in the start of their Science Journal.
Details of all of these tasks can be found on Google Classroom (your son or daughter can log into this through the school website).
The deadline for all 3 tasks is this Friday’s lesson.
1. Students should look at Thursday’s fieldwork from the lake in their science journals. Alongside each of the 6 tasks I would like students to self-assess their work against the science journal rubric – the rubric is stuck in the front of their book.
For each of the 6 tasks they should write a sentence alongside the work, ideally in a different colour. The sentence should be in the format:
“I think this task is beginning/developing/secure/excellent, this is because it….”
Deadline: Tuesday’s lesson
2. Students have been given feedback on the first drafts of their site reports on Google Drive. They need to look at every one of my comments and either:
a) make changes to their work so that the comment can be resolved. Additional research may be required to do this.
b) if they are not sure about what changes to make, reply to my comment with a specific question that will help them.
Deadline: Tuesday’s lesson
3. Students have a baseline assessment on mental multiplication through MyMaths as this term will start to look at multiplication/division in more detail.
Deadline: Monday, 8pm
Tasks 2 and 3 require a device and internet connection so if this is an issue students should come to homework club on Monday after school.
