Thursday 24th March

Good morning! 

I hope you got on well with the work yesterday. 

Here's what we're up to in school today: 

Morning task - Recap on Subject and Object - Read the introduction and answer the questions on pages 18 and 19. Here are the answers.

Maths - Arithmetic - Use the arithmequiz website . Today I would like for you to focus on questions 6, 14, 20 and 27. Have a go at these and practise any that you're not sure of. 

WALT: Know the relationship between turns and angles. 

Watch the video here

The worksheet is here 

The answers are here

If you need a further challenge, you can find it here - use the deepest sheet. 

The answers for the challenge are here. 

English 

Use spelling shed for 15 minutes to practise your spellings 

WALT: Use -ly, -ed, -ing words for effective sentence starters. 

Today we are looking at the use of words that end in -ly, -ed, and -ing to help us to start sentences. 

Your first task is to list as many words as you can in a table like the one below: 

These kinds of words can be really effective for beginning sentences, especially when trying to create tension and suspense. 

Quietly, she crept towards the slightly open door. 

Terrified, she reached out a shaking hand to turn the handle. 

Breathing quickly, she closed her eyes.

Can you use some of your words to create a short paragraph like the one I have above to convey what a character is doing and how they are feeling? 

Now that you have practised those skills, can you apply it? Use your short story from yesterday. Can you improve it even further by adding sentences that begin with words that end in -ed, ly and -ing? 

Re-write the key paragraph that really builds suspense to now include these sentence starters. 

Guided Reading - Use Reading Plus for 30 minutes 

PE 

As with languages, it is really hard for you to take part in what we are doing in school. Also, many of you have been poorly so I thought some yoga might be a good way to gently exercise.

Science

WALT: Learn about the history of Electricity 

Today we are going to be looking at the history of electricity and some of the important scientists that developed our understanding of electricity. 

Use the reading and questions here: Complete the 2 star reading and questions or, if you want a challenge (and most of you should!) use the 3 star questions. The answers are in the same document so no looking before you're finished!! 

Have a great day!
