MATHS FOR TODAY:

In our final lesson of the week, we’re going to build on what we’ve been learning so far and move onto 4 quadrants rather than 1 quadrant.  Make sure you watch the clip from You Tube before you begin playing the games which all use the 4 quadrants but to starter us off here is today’s mental starter.

Mental Starter:

Activities:

Watch this video to explain how to plot coordinates using 4 quadrants

 

 

Now have a go at these 3 games that all use 4 quadrants for coordinates.  Which game did you like best and why?

LITERACY

Starter:

Morse code, invented by Samuel Morse, takes the letters of the alphabet and replaces them with a combination of dashes and dots.

You can create these dashes and dots using long and short sounds, long and short light flashes, or just by writing them on paper.

 

You can translate these back into normal letters using a guide like the one above. (Or, if you’re really good at memorising stuff, you can learn the whole code!)

Activity: I can use the code to work out the message

You are receiving a code using Morse code, which you must solve:

Challenge:

Finisher:

Look/ think back at you 3, 2, 1 bridge activity from Monday.

Now re-do this task, see if your answers differ after learning more about VE day.

Write:

3 words,

2 questions

Extra info

 

The Queen will commemorate the 75th anniversary of VE Day with a televised address to the nation.

The message will form part of a series of events on 8 May marking the end of World War Two on the continent.

The monarch’s pre-recorded address will be broadcast on the BBC at 21:00 – the exact moment her father, King George VI, gave a radio address 75 years ago.

Other plans include a public sing along of Dame Vera Lynn’s We’ll Meet Again, a song synonymous with World War Two.

It will be the Queen’s second televised message during the coronavirus outbreak.

Last month, she echoed the words of the singer known as the Forces’ sweetheart when she told those in lockdown “we will meet again” during a rare speech to the nation.

 

Have a listen to the song:
