Wednesday 5th January

 Morning everyone! 

I hope you got on okay with yesterday's work. Sorry again for the mistakes I made in the maths video! 

Today you've got some reading, a spelling task, English, Fluent in 5, Maths, Art and PE. 

Reading 

Today you are going to continue your reading from yesterday (If you were in school yesterday, we didn't get a chance to read the first chapters. Catch up by looking at yesterday's blog post!)

Time Trip - Read chapters 3 - 4

Fear Machine - Read  chapters 3 - 5

English 

First complete this spelling activity. Re-write the sentences and add the missing words. If you're not sure of the meaning of one of the words, use a dictionary to look them up! 

We are going to continue looking at flashbacks in stories. Today we are going to read an extract from Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. In this chapter, Harry gets attacked by the dementors. We find out that when the dementors attack, Harry has a flashback to when his parents were killed. He experiences this as if he were there and it happens in the present tense like he is actually experiencing it! 

Your task

Today, I would like for you to choose a memory from when you were younger. This could be funny, embarrassing or happy. Share this memory with someone at home. Then I would like you to write about this memory as if you are experiencing it right now. This means writing in the present tense. 

Here is an example written by someone in Class 6 a couple of years ago. 

Notice that this person has chosen a memory about a Christmas Eve. They have written in the present tense, has written it in chronological order and has used a variety of punctuation. This is what I expect from you too. I expect at least half a page for this memory - probably more if it was a good one! 

Maths

Here is your fluent in 5. You have 5 minutes to answer the questions. The answers are attached so no cheating! 

Today you are going to be dividing decimals by integers. 

Watch the video here.

Here is the worksheet

Here are the answers

There are some further challenges here.

Art 

This term we are going to be looking at Architecture. Architecture is to do with buildings. 

Can you think of any buildings that look good in Cheltenham? What are they? Do you know when they were built and by who?

Today you are going to look at some famous architects and their buildings. 

Your Task

Read through this PowerPoint and complete the tasks when you come to them using the internet for research when you need to. 

PE

After a stressful week, try out some yoga for some good exercise, while relaxing at the same time. 

Yoga

Have a great day everyone!
