Home Learning January 2025

Hello everyone,

I hope you are enjoying the snow and have managed to do some sledging or you may have even had a snow ball fight, or made the best snowman ever - send me some pictures to if you like to class6@deanvalley.cheshire.sch.uk.

If you have not completed the assignments on Teams yet, please do so.  There is a Literacy reading comprehension (this is your homework), a geography pupil voice and a Spanish lesson.

I have also added new RE, Music, Science, Maths and SPAG on Teams.

Literacy

Your reading comprehension for this week, where you will discover more about the Titanic, is available to compelte as an assignment on Teams.  If you need your logins for any platform, just get in touch.

A new set of 10 questions have ben added to SPAG Tests Online - Practice Grammar & Punctuation Tests Online, which will allow revision for the grammar focus: colons and semi colons, which we are covering this week in Literacy.  Please watch this video and play the activities before completing the spag homework.  https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/z6cxxyc

 Last time our class average was 67%, let's see if we can achieve a PB this time. 

The area again that most of us needed to revisit was the subjunctive form.  Here are two videos to help you start to understand this a little more.  Remember to do the SPAG.COM assessment on your own, as this will help me to plan our literacy sessions moving forward.

What is the subjunctive form?
