Hello and welcome back everyone! Here are a few activities to help get us back into our work for 2016:
Numeracy Challenge
Find an item in the grocery store that is on offer e.g. jelly beans: 1 x 65g bag = 40p or 3 x 65g bag = £1 then calculate which size is better value and how much money you could save.
After that identify if there are any alternatives to the option you have chosen e.g. jelly beans: 1 x 200g bag = 89p or 2 x 200g bag = £1.50 then calculate which size is better value and how much money you could save.
Finally compare the 2 options you have chosen and determine which one would be the best value for money.
Literacy
L.I. To be able to write a first person account.
Task: Write a diary
First choose who you will be when you write your diary. Here are some ideas:
- Be Yourself! Write about what you did in the holidays or what you did at the weekend
- Pretend to be someone famous like David Beckham or Taylor Swift
- Pretend to be a character from a film or TV programme, you could try a minion or Shrek
- Make up your own character
- Choose someone you know
- Choose someone from history like Queen Victoria or Charles Rennie Mackintosh
Next your diary can be for however long you like but should include at least 5 extracts. You might want to include photos, clipart, and pictures. Don’t forget to put the days at the top of each entry. You must write in sentences with capital letters, full stops, accurate punctuation and all words should be spelled accurately!
IDL
Charles Rennie Mackintosh – Glasgow
Identify as many places in Glasgow as you can that a Charles Rennie Mackintosh fan might like to visit. Please include the name of the place, where you would find it and why a fan would like to visit.
Remember you can use your thinking jotter to record any thoughts or ideas you have when looking at these topics and I would love to see anything you create at home!
