RE:
In RE today I want you to think about what you already know about the religion of Islam. It might have been a while ago since you covered it at school so you’ll have to dig deep into your memory!
Have a go at completing this circuit. You can set a timer on Alexa/Ipad/Computer for one minute for each exercise. Count how many repetitions you do for each exercise.
1. Core: Plank
2. Legs: Squat hold against the wall (backs straight against the wall and knees together, bend legs so knees are at a 90 degree angle and hold)
3. Cardio: Shuttle runs
4. Core: Arch hold (lying on tummy, hold arms above head and lift straight legs off the floor like superman)
5. Arms: Push-ups (can decide to go on knees or feet)
6. Cardio: Star jumps
7. Core: Sit-ups
8. Legs: Rock back jumps (on a mat – sit down, rock to shoulders, rock back to stand up and do a straight jump, repeat)
9. Cardio: Burpees
10. Core: Tuck hold (on a mat – sit back and lift feet off of floor in a tuck shape and balance)
11. Arms: Tricep dips (on a chair or step– sit down, hands facing forwards, lift bottom off chair and move feet away, bend at the arms and push back up again)
12. Cardio: Skipping
You can record your number of repetitions on the Circuit record sheet
Have a good day, and a lovely weekend!

*Reading – Make sure that you are spending at least 15 minutes per day reading for pleasure. Keep a log of the title and pages read in your book.
*Science – Last week, I asked you to look at the work of Carl Linnaeus and his classification system of living things. Hopefully, you thought about how important it is to have a system of classifying livings things and what it would be like without it. Think of it as a filing system that helps with identification or a gigantic family tree.
So today, we are going to look at invertebrates.
Take a look at the following and write down the most interesting fact from either.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/clips/zmj8q6f
https://www.dkfindout.com/uk/animals-and-nature/invertebrates/
Looking at the classification system, a wolf spider would fit as follows:
As you can see, a wolf spider is the species name but it also falls into the class of arthropods. This means it has some of the same characteristics as crustaceans like crabs i.e. a hard outside skeleton. Today, I would like you to us the sheets below to find out more about the characteristics of invertebrates. There are 8 different sections but you do not have to complete all 8, you can pick at least 4 of your choice.
ESResource6.3.3Invertebratesharder
*TTRockstars – spend any spare minutes rocking on through those tables.
Complete your work in the exercise books sent home last term and please send photos of what you have done to me at hollis.c@ruyton.shropshire.sch.uk or admin@ruyton.shropshire.sch.uk.
Have a great day and I will hopefully see you throughout the day on TEAMS.

Good morning Owls. I hope you had a lovely weekend and managed to get out for some fresh air. It was fab to see so many of you on Friday for our first Teams meeting. Hopefully, you are joining our TEAMS meeting at 9.15am this morning; I can’t wait to see you all again. This week, we will be gradually getting to grips with using some of the features of TEAMS and holding 3 daily meetings. We will have a catch up TEAMS meeting at 1pm today to discuss the morning’s work and to go through the afternoon task with a final TEAMS meeting at 2.50pm to say goodbye and see how your day has gone. I have included a suggested timetable for how you could organise your learning below around the meeting and breaktimes.
9.15am TEAMS meeting to introduce the morning’s tasks
Spellings

In case the technology fails (or the teacher in my case), I am also posting copies of all of the links and resources as usual each day so that if things go wrong with TEAMS or you can’t find something, you know where to look.
So, here is today’s work:
*Spellings – spend some time today continuing to learning your spellings for the week (Miss Horton posted them last Thursday and is planning a spelling test this Thursday on TEAMS). You could use the PowerPoint below to look at the pattern/meanings of words.
Year 5 Handwriting Practice – Cursive
Year 6 Handwriting Practice – Cursive
*English – we will be continuing the unit begun last week on Oak Academy. Using the link below, follow the instructions in the lesson to work through the teaching video and the related activity.
To write the opening paragraph (thenational.academy)
*Maths – Year 6:
Today, we are looking at the four operations and fractions (+-x÷). Take a look at the PowerPoint before completing the worksheets. Remember that the question sheets are divided into 2 strands :Reasoning and Problem Solving (RPS) and Verbal Fluency (VF) and into 3 levels of difficulty (developing, expected and greater depth. You only need to complete one of the three levels of difficulty for each strand i.e. Year 6 expected RPS and VF. The answers are included at the back of each set for you to mark your work.
Year-5-6-Spring-Block-1-Step-21-PPT
Year-6-Spring-Block-1-Step 21-VF-Four-Rules-with-Fractions

Year-5-Spring-Block-2-Step-18-RPS-Multiply-Mixed-Numbers-by-Integers
Year-5-Spring-Block-2-Step-18-VF-Multiply-Mixed-Numbers-by-Integers
If either of the above are too tricky, try a bit more practice subtracting fractions using the PowerPoint and sheets below:
Year-4-Spring-Block-3-Step-7-PPT-Subtract-2-Fractions
Year-4-Spring-Block-3-Step-7-RPS-Subtract-2-Fractions
Year-4-Spring-Block-3-Step-7-VF-Subtract-2-Fractions
*Reading – Make sure that you are spending at least 15 minutes per day reading for pleasure. Elevenses with David Walliams is also back, starting with The Boy in the Dress. These are audio clips of his complete stories, a few chapters a day.
*PE – As this afternoon is one of our PE afternoons, I want you to find something active to do. As with the last lockdown, you may have to get a bit creative! So, with that in mind, how about going for a family walk/bike ride, trampolining in the garden, devise a garden circuit and test it out, set yourself some 60 second challenges such as how many star jumps can you do in a minute etc? Also, Joe Wicks is posting new PE with Joe workouts on a Monday, Wednesday and a Friday (live at 9am or catch up on his YouTube channel). Remember that physical exercise and fresh air is as important as schoolwork.
*TTRockstars – spend any spare minutes rocking on through those tables.
Complete your work in the exercise books sent home last term and please send photos of what you have done to me at hollis.c@ruyton.shropshire.sch.uk or admin@ruyton.shropshire.sch.uk. We are working on ways of you saving your work in TEAMS to save you having to send evidence to us but that is a work in progress so bear with us.
Have a great day and I will hopefully see you throughout the day on TEAMS.

Good Morning Owls
I hope you all manage to join us for our Microsoft Teams meeting at 9am this morning. This is a chance for us all to get our heads round how it works and to get to see each other on screen. We’re hoping to start using teams more as time goes on, but while we’re all getting used to how everything works you’re home learning tasks will remain on the website as well as teams in case you’re struggling to find anything. If you are having any trouble with Teams or need anything explaining please email me at horton.z@ruyton.shropshire.sch.uk
Here are your home learning tasks for today:
English:
Following on from the English work you have been doing this week the next lesson is about developing an understanding of words associated with chaos and confusion. You will be introduced to new vocabulary, identify word pairs and synonyms and apply the vocabulary in sentences.
Maths:
Like yesterday we are continuing to look at dividing fractions by integers. You can watch the video or look at powerpoint – or both! The stars tell you how difficult the sheet will be (*=developing **=expected ***=greater depth). If you are in year 5 do the developing sheet first, you may find it easy and want to try a harder sheet. You must do one reasoning & problem solving sheet and one varied fluency sheet. You can mark your work using the answers provided.
Y5/6 – Powerpoint – Dividing by Integers (2)
Y5/6 – Varied Fluency – Dividing by Integers (2)
Y5/6 – Reasoning & problem solving – Dividing by integers (2)
If you’re finding it a bit tricky, have a go at these sheets on calculating quantities of amounts:
Y4 – Powerpoint – Calculate Quantities
Y4 – Reasoning & Problem – Calculate Quantities
Y4 – Varied Fluency – Calculate Quantities
Religious Education:
The first half of this term we will be learning about the Pillars of Islam. Today I want you to have a look at these buildings. What are the pillars for? Why do the buildings need them? What would happen if they weren’t there?
Are pillars always physical? What might someone mean by someone being ‘a pillar of the community?
Have a think about our school rules. How are these like pillars? What would happen if we didn’t have any rules?
On these pillars I would like you to write some beliefs/values/rules you use in your everyday lives. These could link to our school values. For example, I believe that you should treat everyone with respect and always be kind to others. Put your pillars into order of importance. Ask somebody at home (or at school) if they would put them in the same order as you? Will everyone put them in the same order?
(You don’t have to print these pillars off you can just write them into your books or type it up on your computer – this just gives you an idea of how you could present your work)
PE:
Have a go at these challenges. I’ll have a go too – I wonder if you’ll beat my score! Let me know how you get on. Can you think of a challenge that you can set for the whole class to do next week? The best ones will be next weeks challenge!
Music:

Good Morning Owls
It’s Miss Horton here, this wasn’t how I pictured my first day in Owls class being! Most of you will know me from being in Hedgehogs last term and I did manage to pop in to say hello to you all on the last day of term…but that seems like a long time ago now.
Mrs Hollis and I have been busy trying to get our heads round Microsoft Teams this week. We had a crash course yesterday and hopefully you will be receiving your log in details soon. If all goes according to plan we are hoping to do a Teams meeting with everyone in Owls at 9am on Friday. It will be lovely to see you all and a good test to see if I remember everyone’s names!
Here are your home learning tasks for today:
English:
Following on from the English work you have been doing this week the next lesson is about gathering evidence for a newspaper report. You will start by writing a complex sentence with a relative clause. Next, you will look at where you would be gathering evidence or information from if you were journalists writing your own newspaper reports. You will then learn how to take notes when gathering information. Lastly, you will practise how to use brackets in sentences.
To gather evidence for a newspaper report (the oak national.academy)
Maths:

Computing:
This term we will be developing our understanding of the importance of staying safe online. Over the next few weeks we will be writing, designing, filming and editing stop motion animations for younger children to educate them about the potential dangers online.
Today you are going to be doing some research in preparation for making your own video animations. I would like you to watch this video Jigsaw – YouTube and think about these questions.
Your video will be for children in year 3 and it needs to be about an online safety issue. It doesn’t have to be one of the topics from today’s video, it could be something you’ve looked at in the past and think it would be important to discuss with younger children, eg: keeping your password safe.
You will need to consider the age of your audience and ensure that the content you are planning is appropriate for this year group.
In order to ensure the information within your video is helpful and accurate, you will need to do some research. Here are some helpful websites:
Try to make some notes as you browse – these can be typed up on the computer or written down in books, it’s completely up to you!
Music:
In this video Mr Butler describes 3 different ukuleles that he likes to play. They are made of different materials and have different musical purposes. Your task is to watch this video twice. The first time, your task is simply to watch the video. The second time, you are allowed to take notes. Pay particular attention to any specific facts or figures that Mr Butler talks about… they might be coming up in the Special Mega Ultra Important Super Fun Quiz below…
3 Different Types of Ukulele – Music and Minds – YouTube
OWLS Super Mega Ultra Important Super Fun Quiz
1. What are the names of the three types of ukulele discussed in the video?
2. Can you order the ukulele types from smallest to largest?
3. Approximately how long is a concert ukulele?
4. Why is it unusual to make a string instrument from plastic?
5. What word describes how much a note ‘rings out’ from an instrument?
6. How old is the smallest ukulele used in the video?
7. Which company made the Soprano Ukulele?
8. What material was the finger board on the ukulele made from?
9. Why was this material used?
10. What happens to wood when it gets older? 11. What isn’t 100 years old on the Soprano ukulele?
12. What 2 animal parts used to be used when making ukuleles?
13. Approximately how long is a bass ukulele?
14. How long ago were bass ukuleles invented?
15. What is the approximate diameter of the thickest bass string?
