Good morning everyone! Hope everybody is feeling good this morning 🙂

Today’s maths includes looking at square numbers, this is when a number is multiplied by itself.

Good Morning!

Today we are going to look at using some punctuation. Using colons, semi-colons and dashes can be tricky.

We are going to revise semi-colons first.

Watch this starter video below to remind ourselves when is appropriate to use each.

Semi-colon   https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zvwwxnb/articles/zshfdxs 

 

Activity:

We use semi colons to connect two RELATED but independent parts of a sentence together:

Miss Park loves chocolate.

Freddos are her favourite.

Can become:

Miss Park loves chocolate ; Freddos are her favourite.

Try writing some of these sentences (in your neatest handwriting).

I can place a semi-colon in the correct place.

Mark fell to his feet. He was exhausted.

Curtis fell into the nettles. The pain was terrible.

Fiona had been working all night the project was due in tomorrow

Sarah studied the creature it studied her in return

Challenge:

I can finish the sentence after the semi-colon.

1. Gemma was furious;
2. Sally enjoyed the football;
3. Marcus was exhausted;
4. Fred slammed the door;

 

 

Plenary:

I can explain the use of a semi-colon to someone else and give an example.

 

Good Morning everyone, Joe Wicks is trying to get to 1 Million viewers this week, have you helped him? If not perhaps tune in tomorrow and give it a go! People from all around the world are! (including me, I am trying it too, if I can do it, so can you!)

Starter:

Remember

Q4. The perimeter is the length of the outline of a shape. To find the perimeter of a rectangle or square you have to add the lengths of all the four sides.

 

Activity: I can order large numbers.

Write these numbers in order, from smallest to largest:

1. 668 138    875 981    756 343   857 909
2. 674 231   670 321     647 231     607 231
3. 990 741   909 742     990 471      909 472
4. 85 431      85 341      72 853     78 235
5. 278 316   300 265     301 256     287 361
6. 421 791  502 689  503 986  427 119
7. 70 991     57 091    57 099    69 999

Which is the largest number? Which is the smallest number?

*Challenge*:

 

Let’s have some fun on Sumdog! I have put up a competition! It wont take you long.

I will also be on from 12pm-1pm to play Sumdog with you all.

I will also open the house from 9am -1pm.

Plenary:

Look at each pair of numbers:

3876               1378

1514                 3120

3108                1380

5106                4798

Think of three numbers that are between each two numbers.  Write them in your jotter.

 

Starter:

Picture, in your mind, a Lion. Think about all of the things we know about Aslan so far and the impact he has had on the environment changing. (List these verbally to someone if you can.)

Activity:

Today, we are going to listen, carefully, to someone reading the rest of Ch 13.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fpo2beDNauo 

After listening to this section once, you may wish to listen to it again to help you.

Draw a picture of Aslan (the Lion) and list (anywhere) everything we learn about his character through this chapter. Try to use as many adjectives as you can. You could compare this with a friend via video call or Face time and see if you had the same/ different adjectives.

Challenge: Try to give evidence (quotes or reasons) as to why you think these things about him, you can give these verbally to a family member or friend through voice call or video call.

 

Plenary:

If you are doing this at home with someone, see who can name the most adjectives, which describe Aslan (eg. Brave).

 

Good morning everyone! Hope you are all keeping safe and looking after your families. Make sure you are still doing exercise (remember there is a new Joe Wicks each day!), going a walk with family members and get some fresh air. Hoping to see your smiley faces soon! 🙂

Secret Number (Game for 2 Players)

Aim: To guess a secret number by asking questions.

Choose a player to start, you may have to Facetime your friend to play this game or play with someone at home. They choose a number in secret and write it down. You can ask them questions but they can only answer yes or no.  Think about helpful questions: – Is it larger/smaller than …? – Does it have 6 as one of its digits? – Is the units digits smaller than the tens digit? How many questions did it take to work out the secret number?  Swap so the other person chooses the secret number.  Can you guess their number in fewer questions?

Starter:

Tell someone at home verbally what has happened so far in the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (summarise).

OR

Draw out (take on the role of the illustrator) the main event of the book so far.

Activity:

Read the section of Ch 13 of The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe below:

“Deep Magic from the Dawn of Time”

Now we must get back to Edmund. When he had been made to walk far further than he had ever known that anybody could walk, the Witch at last halted in a dark valley all overshadowed with fir trees and yew trees. Edmund simply sank down and lay on his face doing nothing at all and not even caring what was going to happen next provided they would let him lie still. He was too tired even to notice how hungry and thirsty he was. The Witch and the dwarf were talking close behind him in low tones.

“No,” said the dwarf, “it is no use now, O Queen. They must have reached the Stone Table by now.”

“Perhaps the Wolf will smell us out and bring us news,” said the Witch.

“It cannot be good news if he does,” said the dwarf.

“Four thrones in Cair Paravel,” said the Witch.

“How if only three were filled? That would not fulfil the prophecy.”

I can infer what the author is implying. (Answer verbally if you are working with someone or you can write your answers if you are doing this independently.

1. How do you think Peter might be feeling?
2. What do you think the Witch is hoping for?

Read the next section below.

“What difference would that make now that HE is here?” said the dwarf. He did not dare, even now, to mention the name of Aslan to his mistress.

“He may not stay long. And then – we would fall upon the three at Cair.”

“Yet it might be better,” said the dwarf, “to keep this one” (here he kicked Edmund) “for bargaining with.”

“Yes! And have him rescued,” said the Witch scornfully.

“Then,” said the dwarf, “we had better do what we have to do at once.”

“I would like to have it done on the Stone Table itself,” said the Witch. “That is the proper place. That is where it has always been done before.”

“I will be a long time now before the Stone Table cn again be put to its proper use,” said the dwarf.

“True,” said the Witch; and then, “well, I will begin.”

At that moment with a ruse and a snarl a Wolf rushed up to them.

“I have seen them. They are all at the Stone Table, with Him. They have killed my captain, Maugrim. I was hidden in the thickets and saw it all. One of the Sons of Adam killed him. Fly! Fly!”

“No,” said the Witch. “There need be no flying. Go quickly. Summon all our people to meet me here as speedily as they can. Call out the giants, the werewolves, and the spirits of those trees who are on our side. Call the Ghouls, and the boggles, the Ogres and the Minotaurs. Call the Cruels, the Hags, the Spectres, and the people of the Toadstools. We will fight. What? Have I not still my wand? Will not their ranks turn into stone even as they come on? Be off quickly, I have a little thing to finish here while you are away.”

The great brute bowed its head, turned, and galloped away.

 

3. What do you think the Witch is going to do?

 

Plenary:

If you were able to read aloud to someone, ask them for a star (something you did well eg. You read at a good pace, pausing when required for punctuation or for dramatic affect) and a wish (your next step, something to work on next time eg. Using expression to make it more exciting and engage your listener).

Keep safe everyone! Remember the things you are in control of: wash your hands, social distancing, eat healthily as much as you can and exercise :). Keep those around you smiling, help out around the house and stay positive for one another!
