Buenas Dias P4/5
I hope you are all doing well and are getting out for some daily exercise. I saw a seal and a deer yesterday evening during my daily walk 🙂
The challenges today:
- Languages
You have a choice of 3 activities for languages. If you can’t get into Teams, the link to Miss Craig’s assignment is here.
The links to the video and recipe in the assignment are below in case you can’t open them from the document.
The other recipe is here.
- Numeracy
Mild: Practice telling the time at different points during the day – set the hands on your cardboard clock to match a digital clock/watch or the time on a computer. Check with an adult if you need help. Try the spicy challenge if it is o’clock or half past. Use your cardboard clock and move the hands around like a real clock to help you work out the answer (don’t forget to move both hands if it is half past). Other help on telling the time can be found on Education city (see the folder ‘Learn screens – Time’ in the classwork folder) or for a simple sheet, click  here.
Spicy: If you are confident at telling the time, try this instead: each time you look at the clock, write down the time and then write down how long it is until midday (use 6pm if it is past midday). Put your answers in a table:
| Time now | How long until midday? | How long until 6pm? |
| 10:15 am | 1 hr 45 mins | 7 hrs 45 mins |
| 11:05am | Â 55 minutes | Â 6 hrs 55 mins |
Hot: Do the spicy challenge and then convert your answer to minutes.
Remember:Â To convert the time to minutes, each hour has to be converted to 60 minutes.
- 1 hr 45 mins = 60 minutes + 45 minutes. This is 105 minutes altogether.
- 7 hrs 45 mins = (7 x 60) minutes + 45 minutes. 7 x 60 = 420 minutes. Add another 45 minutes = 465 minutes altogether.
Also practice your mental math skills by writing out your times tables, using Top Marks Daily 10 or using Hit the Button – focus on multiplication and division facts. You can use the mini whiteboard you made for your mental math (scroll back through the posts if you haven’t made one yet – it doesn’t take long!)
- Literacy
Use at least ten of your spelling words from the last 2 weeks (they can be common words or Fry’s words) and make a crossword or a word search with them. You could even combine the two – make a word search but instead of writing the words you have used, write clues for the words. If you can’t find your spelling words, make an Easter puzzle instead.
The word search is the mild challenge – I’m sure you all know how to make a word search. If you haven’t got squared paper, use some lined paper and draw extra lines going down the page using a ruler. Write all the letters in your grid in CAPITALS and remember to write the words down under your grid.
The word search with crossword clues is the spicy challenge because you will need to think up clues for each word. You could use a dictionary to help you. Write the clues under the grid instead of the words.
The crossword is the hot challenge, because you will need to plan how all the words fit together as well as write clues for each word. Take a look at the picture below to get an idea of how to set it out.
If you can post your crosswords/word searches on the Teams page, then your friends can have a go at them 🙂
You can print this Easter Crossword from here.
