This week, we will be starting a new writing unit! We are going to be writing our very own
fantasy narrative, so our Monday and Tuesday Zoom lessons will focus on collecting
vocabulary for the beginning of our story and then we will begin our writing lessons. You
can find lots of resources to help you at the bottom of the home learning pack!
Maths
Please ensure you are not completing work ahead of time, as this will affect your learning
in the daily zoom sessions.
Monday – We will be finding equivalent fractions, using multiplication or division.
Tuesday – We will be learning how to find a fractions simplest form.
Weds – We will be deepening our understanding of finding a fractions simplest form.
Thurs – We will be comparing unit fractions
Fri – We will be comparing fractions with the same denominator.
The links below has some practical examples for additional support and a quiz for those
that want to test their knowledge!

You can find all of the questions for the lessons and the chilli challenges in the
resources section below.
Also continue to practice your times tables fluency using the following link -
• https://ttrockstars.com/ All children within Fairfields Primary School have a log-

We have also included a session in your suggested timetable for this week, where we will
all log into TT Rockstars and battle against each other in the Arena! This will be at
2:30pm on Tuesday afternoon.
We are thrilled to announce that Fairfields will be taking part in the TT Rockstars Big MK Battle from the 18th January until the 22nd January! All you need to do is log in and play to add to our school’s points! Let’s try and get as high up the leader board as we can! https://play.ttrockstars.com/auth/school/student/1466
SPaG
This week we will be looking at how we use subordinating conjunctions in sentences. We
have previously identified what subordinating conjunctions are, so we will recap this in
Monday’s Zoom lesson and then throughout the week complete the activities you can find
in the resources section, practising recognising and using subordinating conjunctions and
clauses.
Handwriting
We would love to see you continue to work towards your pen licences, so make sure you
keep practicing your beautiful handwriting while you are at home. Please use the
handwriting resources below to help you!
Spelling
WALT: use and spell words using the sound ‘s’ spelt ‘sc’ correctly
On Monday’s Zoom, we will introduce this week’s spelling rule. As you would normally do,
make sure you practice using this spelling rule throughout the week. You will find the
spelling worksheet in the resources section below. Can you get an adult to test you at the
end of the week? How many will you get out of 10!
Science/ILP
In our zoom on Wednesday afternoon, we will be looking at gases and using our knowledge
to compare them. You will then be conducting an experiment to find the fizziest drink!
The experiment worksheet can be found in the resources section below.
You will need:
• A few different types of fizzy drink
• Weighing scales
PE
It is important to stay as active as possible when you are at home, whether this is going
for a walk, doing some ‘Just Dance’, catching up with Joe Wicks or even helping out around
the house! In addition to this there will be class zoom sessions for you all to join in with
to keep on top of those fitness levels!
PSHE This week for PSHE, we are thinking about our family and friends that we may not have seen for a little while and how we can stay connected until we can visit them again. In school, we will be creating purple hearts in any creative way you like and displaying them on windows as a way of showing that we are thinking about these loved ones. You could also write a letter to someone that you think may need a ray of sunshine to brighten their day, and ask your adult at home to post it to them! Templates for a heart and a letter are below in the resources section. Art & Design Why do you think artists paint pictures? Do you think how they are feeling when they are painting will influence what they are doing? Think about what you want to draw when you are feeling happy, then think about what you would want to draw if you were feeling sad or upset. Would the colours you use be different? Would the scene or objects you draw be different? When artists paint or draw, they use their creations to portray emotions or show what they are feeling, they can also create a piece of art that tells us a story! There are lots of questions we can ask and also lots of inferences we can make using the artwork as evidence, using what we can see to make educated guesses about what could be happening in the artwork and maybe how the artists was feeling when they created it. Look at the two paintings in the resources section below and answer the questions. We cannot wait to hear your thoughts! Computing Once you have finished your project to programme your own boat race game, we are going to move on to programming an animation. Use the links below to access the step-by-step instructions to create a space animation. Remember to check your code for bugs regularly as, if it’s not working, a pesky bug is hiding in your code!

SPaG resources
Use the resources below to identify and use subordinating conjunctions correctly in a
sentence, recognising the main clause and subordinate clause in each sentence.
Use your knowledge of subordinating conjunctions and subordinate clauses to complete
the activities below.
REMEMBER
❖ The subordinating conjunction is always at the beginning of the subordinate
clause.
❖ The main clause makes sense on its own, the subordinate clause does not.
❖ The subordinate clause can go before or after the main clause.On the next page, we have included a game for you to play (you can play the game with anyone at home, or even with a friend over zoom!).
