17/04: Home Learning

What a super Thursday! Thank you for all the wonderful emails and pictures!

BUT today is Friday! So your first task of the day is to practise your spellings. I won’t be mean and ask you to test yourself today so… go into Home Learning, Spelling where you will find all of your Term 5 spelling sheets. Click on T5W1 and start practising! These will be your spelling words to practise next week and on Friday, you can test yourself on them.

M: Start with a speedy recap of your 8x. You can do this with a dice game, on TTRS or on Hit the Button. Maybe you could practise chanting like we do in school?

Decimals: Today, I want you to practise recognising decimals (from fractions)!

1) Write these fractions as a decimal:                                       ( 0.1 = 1/10       0.01 = 1/100       1.0 = whole)

7/10         3/10           1 (whole and) 6/10

9/100       86/100                3 (wholes and) 17/100

2) Partition decimals into ones, tenths and hundredths:         (0.3 = 0 ones, 3 tenths and 0 hundredths)

0.2                                         0.61                                       2.44                     0.03                                      1.05

3) Which of these mean 7/10?

A. 70                           B. 7                                    C. 0.7                      D. 0.07

4) 0.04 is the same as

A. four                  B. four tenths                     C. four hundredths                          D. one quarter

5) How many pieces do you need to break an object (whole) into to find one hundredth?

Want some extra practise: Try the sequencing sheet or the decimal (dividing by tenths and hundredths) sheet on our Home learning site in Maths.

Helpful task: Find your adult. Ask if you can help with anything? Can you do some cleaning, gardening, folding clothes?

RE: Refresh! Read through your notes about BUDDHISM or browse the sites from yesterday:

https://www.theschoolrun.com/homework-help/buddhism

Now that you have refreshed your memory…. today, we are learning about the festival of Vesak! Take a look at the slides about Vesak (Wesak, Buddha Day) attached below. There is also a quick video: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zh4mrj6/articles/zbsp92p

Type in Vesak into Google and take a look at the amazing images of the evening celebrations that occur!

What did you think of today's story about Siddhartha Gautama? How interesting!

TASK: Choose four key moments from the story of SG and write about these moments (story strip, comic etc.). Alternatively, you might like to create a roleplay retelling the story starring YOU!

Today, I am attaching some of my pictures from Thailand from temples and ruins in Bangkok and Ayutthaya and a whole lot more from Mrs Fox too! Want to find out more, go online and take a look! Look at the amazing HUGE reclining golden Buddha!

Quick question: What does ‘ascetic’ mean?

If you find out any FUN facts about Buddhism, post to Padlet and share them with friends!

Extra activities:

R: Access the GG Powerpoint and listen along to Groosham Grange and/or read a chapter of a book of your choice.

French: Practise your French numbers: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/subjects/z39d7ty

Gardening: Go into your garden and water any plants you have been growing? Not growing any? Go into the garden and do 10 running lengths!

TT: Practise your 5 times tables. (Use Hit the button, chanting, TTRS etc., whiteboard)

 

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