Home Schooling Tasks from June 1st 2020

Just choose your year group from the list and your work for the week should open. You can do your work on the computer, but it’s even better to get some screen breaks and do your work on paper! Remember, you should also take part in the ‘Daily Challenges’ on  PurpleMash.

To access purple mash, you do not need an email, although you may see this as a login option on screen. Scroll down to where it says ‘Find my school’s  login page’, then type Beulah Junior – it will take you to a login portal where you can use your usual username and password to sign in.

Uploading work

It is now possible for pupils to upload their work to PurpleMash for their teachers to view:

1. First, save your finished work to Microsoft Work or Word document or take a photo of work you have done on paper using your device camera.

2. Go online to Purple Mash

3. Click on the yellow ‘Work’ folder (Click the black box with 3 white lines if you can’t see this option)

4. Click on ‘My Work’

5. On the toolbar above, click on ‘Upload’ (there should be a rectangular box)

6. Now, go to your saved work or photo and click or drag it into that box and save.

7.  Bravo! Your work is now ready for you teacher to view – we can’t wait to see all your hard work.

HOMEWORK REMINDER

Reading  – Pupils should read on Bug Club every day at home for at least 20 minutes. Pupils are allocated books for their level so all texts are accessible for every pupil. If possible,  please discuss the comprehension questions that pop up during the stories as this allows pupils to develop and extend their skills.  Your class teacher will be checking that you have read daily and dojos will be given to those that have read.

Pupils are expected to have a personal book that they have either chosen from the library, their teacher’s choice (Starbook) or a home book. Please ensure that pupils are reading their own choices regularly and if possible discuss their book with them.

 Spelling – Pupils are given a weekly spelling homework where they will complete a range of tasks such as: look, say , cover, write and check, cross words, word searches, writing definition of spellings or writing spellings in a sentence.

 Maths, GPS, Science and languages – Complete any tasks your teacher has given you on Abacus or EducationCity this will include weekly grammar and punctuation homework. Times Table Rockstars will help your child to learn their tables. It is now a requirement  for all pupils year 4 and above  to know all their times tables.

Wider Curriculum – Each half term, you will have a project to complete based on your topic. This is an opportunity to get creative! Your project could be in the form of a poster, model, science experiment,. The written part could include a poem, newspaper report or information text. You could also include artwork or maybe even a rap or song!
