Half Term Homework

Here is the link to your unfinished playscripts about the first day at secondary school:

Download yours and work on it over half term so that it is ready to rehearse when we come back.

Remember - if you want to ask any questions then send a comment about this post with your question in it and I'll try to help by sending one in reply.

Happy Half Term!

2D and 3D Shapes

Here's the link to some fun activities which will help you to remember properties of 2D and 3D shapes:

Make sure you know the names of the 2D shapes. You also need to know how to work out the area and perimeter of a rectangle or square. Make sure you know terms like parallel and perpendicular too.

For 3D shapes, make sure you know the names (don't worry about tetrahedron and dodecahedron) and how to describe their properties using words like face, vertex and edge.

Good luck!

Make your own word-search!

You know all of those revision word-searches we've been doing in Early Morning Work? Well they were all made online using a simple tool.

Try it out! Perhaps use it to make your own revision word-search; or to practise some spellings that you frequently get wrong.

Anyway, here's the link:

Simply add your list of words (you could even copy and paste them from another program or web page), then give it a title and create your wordsearch.

If you really wanted to be nice to someone, you could make a list of all of the positive words which describe them (patient, kind, thoughtful...) and give it them their own personalised word-search to solve!
