There are two activities uploaded onto Tapestry for you to complete and there are games on Spelling Shed for you to play as well.

Maths

Year 5

 Can I use translation with coordinates?

Children translate coordinates and also describe translations of coordinates.

Attention should be drawn to the effect of the translation on the x-coordinate and the y-coordinate.

How does a translation of 3 up affect the x and y-coordinate?

Can I recognise lines of symmetry?

Children find and identify lines of symmetry within 2-D shapes.

The key aspect of symmetry can be taught through paper folding activities.

It is important to understand that a shape may be symmetrical, but if the pattern on the shape isn’t symmetrical, then the diagram isn’t symmetrical.

Can I complete symmetric figures?

Children use their knowledge of symmetry to complete 2-D shapes and patterns.

Children could use squared paper, mirrors or tracing paper to help them accurately complete figures.

 Can I understand reflection?

Children reflect objects using lines that are parallel to the axes.

Children continue to use a 2-D grid and coordinates in the first quadrant.  Children should be introduced to the language object (name of shape before reflection) and image (name of shape after reflection).

Can I understand reflection with coordinates?

Explore what happens to points when they are reflected in lines parallel to the axes.

Children might use mirrors to do this. This might be done through investigation where children record coordinates of vertices of the object and coordinates of vertices of the image in a table.

Year 6

PE

See online Resources – Spring Term Home PE (H)

Choose from the 10 activities in Pack H – try as many as you can and record your times and scores on your

PE Active Planner to put on Tapestry to share with your teacher.

Can I explore the grammar quizzes and Text Toolkit software?

Create your own grammar games using either the Word Spot or Cloze 2Dos.

PHSE

Can I recognize the rights of the child?

Imagine a world in which babies, like many of the goods we buy, come with care instructions.

Write instructions that tell a person how to help a child grow into the best adult they can be. Slide 11 suggests some opening sentence starters.
