23/06/2020: Home Learning

Learning for today:

PE: Find a safe space (Garden? Living room?) and do 19 jumping jacks, 20 squats and 21 bunny hops.

 

M: Start with a speedy recap of your 11x and 12x on Rockstars, Hit the Button, chanting or BINGO!

Let’s practise our ASN:

63+18    50+3    -5   99-12    LXXXI

All of them:

Learning task: We are going to do some shape and symmetry work this week using a really useful learning site from Oak Academy. You are looking to access: https://classroom.thenational.academy/lessons/to-identify-lines-of-symmetry-in-2-d-shapes

By clicking the arrow/next, you can work through a quiz and watch a learning video too. At the end, you should find some questions to work through. BUT to make it a little more real and perhaps fun, why not draw your own 2d shapes (remembering that these are flat shapes and usually understood as ‘drawn’) and find the lines of symmetry! You might cut the shapes out and fold them to identify your lines of symmetry, but remember that by cutting them out they become 3D! The thickness of the paper gives them depth, the extra dimension! Mind boggling right!

I am leaving a sheet you might like to work through. Alternatively, you could do the Oak Academy sheet. You might even like to get pictures of all the world flags and see which ones have lines of symmetry!

 

E: Listen to the next chapters of Varjak Paw which I put online for you.

TASK: We are now more than  halfway through the book and so, hopefully, you have a really good idea of the story, the author’s writing style and an idea of whether you are enjoying the story or not. Over the next two days, we are going to plan to write a FORMAL letter to S.F. Said so today, we are going to explore features of a formal letter.

Starter: Brainstorm all the features you can remember for a formal letter. Now work your way through the Powerpoint and check you have/make yourself familiar with all the features that a formal letter could have. One key feature is formal language; this means no contractions like couldn’t for could not or I’ll for I will.

RWInc: Please find the relevant spellings and story text attached below for Jellybean with today’s learning task.

 

Topic: Let’s continue with our learning about chocolate! Rapid recap: 3 countries that grow cacao beans.

Quick question: What can you remember about the process of making chocolate? Can you recall this word and what it means: ‘fermentation’?

Today, we're tracking back through time to learn about the history behind where chocolate comes from! Work your way through the Powerpoint and, if you want to, create a storyboard for what you learn!

 

Extra activities:

Viking Games: Take a look at the latest Viking Games challenge set for you by Mrs Horrigan.

R: Access the class reader Powerpoint if you haven’t already and listen along and/or read a chapter of a book of your choice. I have added chapters for you recently.

 

Have a wonderful day! Happy learning! Don’t forget to send me emails/pictures!
