There's still a couple of children I don't have so please, please spread the word to all your friends! Many thanks! xxx

 

PE: It's fancy dress Fridays on Joe Wicks. What are you going to dress up as?

 

Maths: Today I would like you to compare these shapes. I would like you to consider their edges, vertices and faces. Use your grid from yesterday to help you.
E.g. Cube and a Cuboid. Both a cube and a cuboid have the same amount of vertices, edges and faces. However a cuboid has 2 edges which are longer than the rest. Whereas a cube's edges are all the same length. The cuboid has both rectangular and squre faces but a cube only has square faces.

a) Cylinder and a Cube
b) Cuboid and a Square Based Pyramid
c) Square-Based Pyramid and a Triangular Prism
d) Tetrahedron and a Cone

 

English: Today I would like you to catch up with the Martyn Harvey poetry competition videos on the blogs below. I would then like you to pick one of the following activities:

Create the puppets like in The Weevil
Have a mini-bug hunt in your garden
Take a look at the Weevil poem below and find all the rhyming words
Write up the poem in your best handwriting and illustrate it

 

The Weevil

Of all the little bugs and beasts,
the good, the bad, the evil,
my undeniable favourite is…
..the timber-boring weevil!

The weevil is a curious beast -
he’s brown - and very small:
He lives inside the cracks between
the floorboards in the hall.

He loves to eat - engorge himself -
and the reason that’s not good
is my little friend, the weevil, wants
to eat no-thing but wood!

And - wood is what your house is made of!
..Mainly that.. and bricks!
..and weevils eat your floorboards up!
(amongst their many tricks)..

A single weevil, in one day
can eat a ceiling joist!
he loves the taste of rotting pine,
…so succulent, and moist..

..and - weevils lay their weevil eggs
within the troughs they’ve dug…
..and eggs turn into larvae, which
turn into weevil bugs!

Now. You and I know good from bad
(as anybody should)..
and you and I would never think
of eating rotten wood…

But, if you were a weevil and you
lived on weevil food,
to leave a pile of joists untouched
would be extremely rude!

You’d have to get your weevil mates
to kindly help you out,
and “dig in” to the luscious wood
with timber-boring snouts.
 
But..”Why?..” (you ask) “..of all the bugs,
do you adore that thing?
It’s not as if he’s favoured with
a lovely shell..or wing!”

And, I reply, in modest tones,
“You know - he’s not that evil…

..he’s just a bug

    that lives on wood,

          my humble friend..

                        …the Weevil

Spelling: Can you and a friend play 4 in a row with the words below? 
The rules: Player 1 spells a word from the list. Player 2 marks it. If they get it right they get 1 tick. The game swaps over and Player 2 has to write the word. The first person to get 4 ticks in a row ... wins!

 

Topic: Today I would like you to have a go at the drama Task Master activities from Mr Williams and post a photo of your challenge on the blog.

 

Helping at Home: Can you help today by making a meal? Maybe breakfast or lunch or dinner?

 

Happy Friday!

 

Love Miss R-B, Mrs Fetherston and Mr Brown xxx
