Good morning everyone here is today’s plan. You will find all of the resources you need on Glow and on the class story on Dojo.

Writing

Using your topic research from this week your task is to write a diary entry from the Iron Age.

• A diary is a personal piece of writing and often begins with Dear Diary.
• Start writing about your morning routine and describe your day in order as it would happen, this is where your research comes in. Someone living in the Iron Age would have a very different day from the one you are having today.
• Think about what you are wearing, what your home might be like and what activities you might be doing.
• Remember to use paragraphs to separate your writing. You might split your diary into three sections – morning, afternoon and evening. If you are adding lots of detail you could write as many paragraphs as you like!
• It might help to look for examples of diary entries on the internet to give you some ideas.

Spelling

Open your group spelling folder on Glow. Choose one of the activities to practice your words for this week.

 

Maths

Espresso – Symmetry

• Login to Espresso, click Second Level and then click on Symmetry Lower, it is near the bottom of the page.
• Watch the videos about symmetry. Try following the folding shapes video by making the shapes yourself and finding the lines of symmetry.
• Try all of the interactive activities.
• In the printable resources there are four tasks to try. There are copies in the shape folder on glow and on dojo incase you can’t open them. You can either print them out or try drawing them on paper yourself. It will be difficult to draw some of the tasks if you don’t have squared paper but the capital letters task will be more straightforward. Just do what you can!

Mental Maths – Thursday’s questions are in the folder on Glow.

Sumdog – Choose an activity to practice your maths skills on Sumdog. The house will be open for you throughout the day.

 

Art

• This week we are looking at another Scottish Artist – Charles Rennie Mackintosh.
• In the art folder on glow open the Charles Rennie Mackintosh rose powerpoint.
• This is a step by step guide on how to create his famous rose design.
• I have also given you a step by step drawing sheet incase you have trouble opening the powerpoint.
• Once you are finished there is a stained glass window activity sheet which you can use to create another design in the style of Charles Rennie Mackintosh.

Extension Task

• Using the factsheet about Charles Rennie Mackintosh you could make a powerpoint about him. You could search for other examples of his work through Google images and include some of them in your slides.

 

P.E.

Make sure you get some exercise today. You could do P.E. with Joe, Cosmic Kids yoga or get outside into your garden and have some fun!

 

Have a great Thursday. Remember tomorrow is a school holiday and Monday is an In-Service day so Mrs Wilson will see you back on Glow on Tuesday. Have a lovely long weekend and I hope the sun shines for you!
