Daily challenges 3/4/20

 

Hola P4/5

It is the last day of term, so let’s have some fun!

  • Literacy – Limericks

Limericks are funny poems that only have 5 lines. They have a special rhyming pattern where lines 1, 2 and 5 share a rhyme, and lines 3 and 4 share a different rhyme. You can find lots of examples written for (and by) children – here.

  • Option 1 (mild) – pick your favourite limerick from the website above and write it out in your best handwriting. Illustrate your limerick with pictures that fit the poem.
  • Option 2 (spicy/hot) – Try to write your own limerick. Use one of the guides below to find out how. The written instructions give you more detail on how to plan your limerick. Illustrate your limerick when you have finished.

  • Numeracy – Prodigy Math Teacher Battles

As long as I don’t have any online meetings, I will be playing Prodigy at 11am and 2pm (probably for about 45 minutes each time). Join me and try to battle me!

  • I will be playing from ‘school’ – so you’ll need to select school to find me!
  • My first name has 3 syllables; my last name has 5 syllables…
  • Can you find me and challenge me?

If I have to change the times I will update this page, so check back.

  • UPDATE – I’ve learnt a bit more about Teacher Battles – I think you have to challenge me! I will be in the Ice World next to Bok this afternoon – check your list of classmates and see if you can guess who I am (I’m about level 22 and have a charfoal).

 

  • Other – Drama

This is something you can do with a member of the family – or even the whole family!

  • One member of the family leaves the room while the others agree on a scene to act out like working in a pizza shop or lining up for a race.
  • The family member returns and must try to guess what you are doing.
  • Swap places and let a different person have a go.

Think about your whole body and facial expression. Remember you might need to be a little bit EXTRA with your movements in order for them to be noticed.

Have fun 🙂
