Remember, Mr Green has put many different links on the main page of the blog that you could have a look at if you wish.

Starter:

1. 180 – 40 =
2. 180 – 134=
3. 46 + 59 + ____ =180

Activity

I can find the missing angle in a scalene triangle.

Today, we are going to look at scalene (these all have different degrees).

 

1. We are given two angles. We add them up. Then take the answer away from 180 degrees to find the missing angle.

108 degrees + 42 degrees = 150 degrees.

180 degrees – 150 degrees = 30 degrees.

 

Now try b, c, d and e.

Challenge:

Draw out your own example of a Scalene angle.

Finisher:

Describe a Scalene triangle.

Morning boys and girls 😃

Today, we are continuing with angles, however, we are going to learn how to work out the missing angle in triangle.

 

Starter:

Let’s recap on each type of triangle:

All 3 angles in a triangle will always add up to 180 degrees.

Be careful with each type of triangle, your knowledge about them will help you solve missing angles.

 

Activity:

I can find the missing angles.

All angles in an equilateral are the same.

So let’s have a look at right angled triangles. We know what one angle should be already from the name.

We know a right angle is 90 degrees.

We are given another angle.

We have to work out the final angle.

So take it step by step.

All three must = 180

1. We have 90 degrees + 55 degrees = 145

Therefore, 180 degrees – 145 degrees = 35 degrees.

The missing angle is 35 degrees.

Now try b, c and d.

Challenge:

Draw your own example for a right angled triangle with a missing angle.

Give them to someone to try and work out (send a photo to a friend or give to a family member, or send them to me. 👩🏻‍🏫

I can’t believe that’s another week over already boys and girls.

Which means it is 1 week closer to seeing all of your faces 🙂

Today, is the final paragraph for your report. Literacy.

Starter:

Think back in time, to different pieces of writing you have created over the year. Think about your narrative writing, did you have a favourite? Maybe you enjoyed free writing, maybe you enjoyed creating you Christmas Book and sharing it with the younger classes at reading buddies, maybe it was your Halloween story.

Why was this your favourite? Did you use good techniques? Did you use good V.C.O.P? Did you include a metaphor, simile, onomatopoeia? Did you feel proud?

Brainstorm the novels you have read and the work you have done on them. Think about your class novels BFG and The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe (still to complete). Did you enjoy them? Why?/ Why not? Think about your group novels and tasks, how did you get on? Can you summarise? Can you work out the meaning of tricky words? Can you find techniques used by the author? Can you describe characters?

Activity:

I can identify 3 strengths and a next step

Today, I would like you to write a short paragraph about your progress, thoughts and feelings about your effort in Literacy. Remember to reflect on some of the things mentioned above. I would like you to focus on you strengths (at least 3) and one next step. What are you proud of? What would you like to get better at?

Challenge:

Can you add reflect on Talking and Listening activities. Think about Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe; did you listen well? Did you engage in the activities? Did you participate in discussions? Did you listen and watch the film clips?

Do you respect the opinions of your group when discussing your books? Do you add on to others opinions?

Listening could be what you want to work on next, maybe you want to participate more to group and class discussions.

Think about giving personal talks/ presentations to the class.

You might wish to comment on your handwriting (letter size and joins) and spelling (tests and using day to day basis) too. Do you use Sumdog spelling and reading? How do you find them?

 

Finisher:

As always, check over your work. Make sure you are happy with it, have been honest and are feeling proud of yourself for all of the things you have been able to write down that you can do. I am very proud of you all this year.

REMEMBER, please send me your paragraphs from this week, even if you send a picture of them all today because you had forgotten. I would LOVE to read them!

Send to dpark@woodlands.n-lanark.sch.uk

Enjoy your weekend boys and girls. Stay safe. ☀️ 🌈

Good Morning 🙂

This is not part of your work this week, just some ideas.
This morning I have taken a break from Joe Wick workouts and going to try some Yoga! Let me know through comments on the blog what exercise you have been up to! Have you been learning more Tik Tok dances? Let’s motivate each other 🙂

 

If you are looking to do something different today, perhaps you could think of some Art. I know there are many of you in the class enjoy drawing.

I have been trying to develop my art skills through Youtube tutorials.

You could try these two:

I will post my attempts tomorrow morning of my drawings (no laughing).

Maybe you could make a lovely bright Thank You poster either on your computer/ laptop or drawing for our NHS and all front line staff doing a fantastic job.

Yesterday was Earth Day, perhaps you could create a poster all about how to be ECO friendly.

You could just spread positive vibes through a positive poser, with some positive, motivating quotes.

ICT- You could do some research and present this information on a Power Point, Word Document, poster or fact file/ report.

You could research about NHS, Earth Day, today is St George’s Day, it also is Ramadan, 13^th April  was Baisakhi. Can you find out about one of these?

 

If you decide to do any research or art, please take a picture and send it to me 🙂 I can share them with everyone on the blog and we can fill it with positive, colourful pictures or some interesting information.

Today we are building on yesterday’s plenary which asked you to think about the nets of shapes.  Today we are going to look at different nets and ask what 3-d shape will they make?

Challenge:

Can you make any nets from the above page to construct a 3 –d Shape?

Finisher: 

There is an assessment on Sumdog, 5 quick questions, it won’t take you long at all, see how you get on 🙂

 

 

Good Morning boys and girls! Thank you for all of your fabulous e-mails. I have really enjoyed reading them.

If you’ve been enjoying some sunshine I hope you haven’t forgotten your sun cream! It looks like the next few days are going to be a scorcher! Stay Safe.

Starter:

Today, I want you to take on the role of the teacher again. Pretend you have taught a student just like yourself and are writing the report. Reports highlight all of the things you are able to do and give a next step.

Think about your learning of maths over the year. Think way back to the beginning if you can to Place Value, how many digits are in the highest number you can say? Can you partition them to say what each digit is worth? Are you going to continue working on rounding perhaps?

Think about addition and subtraction and all of your mental strategies, do you find a certain one easier to use or trickier?

Multiplication; how do you feel about your tables? Have you been practising? Can you multiply 2 digits by 1 digit or 2 digits by 2 or perhaps 3 digit by 1 digit etc.

Think about Division, did you learn any top tips? Was the formal method tricky? Think about Shape – can you describe 2D and 3D shapes (faces, vertices, sides) can you create a 3D shape from a net?

Think about angles-  can you name them? Can you measure them?

Think about Information Handling, did you enjoy creating surveys? Could you use tally marks? Could you present your data in a chart? Could you answer questions about which was most popular? Etc

 

Activity

I can identify 2 strengths and 2 next steps

Once you have warmed your brain up, answering those questions and thinking back. Perhaps looking back at the work you were doing from home before the Easter Holidays, can you identify at least 2 strengths from any topic within maths (something you can confidently do independently) and 2 next steps (something you would like more practise with).

 

Challenge:

Can you identify more than 2 strengths? Can you identify 1 from each maths topic mentioned above?

 

Finisher:

As always, check over your short paragraph, make sure it makes sense to read aloud and send it over to let me have a read 🙂
