Homework week beginning 30.10.17

 

Language

As part of our language work, we are retrieving important information from a large piece of text and summarising it.

For homework, watch “blue planet” on iplayer and choose at least one of the animals featured. Take notes as you are watching it on the animal and then create a summary of the information.

This could be a powerpoint/keynote/audio recording/mind map/information leaflet. We have covered all of these in class this year already, so you know how to do them!

Maths

Today we are starting “bridging and adjusting” as a way of doing mental calculations. We are using empty number lines for these. Draw an empty number line for the following sums.

28+36 =                       44+36 =                       52+49 =   

100 – 65 =                   160 – 80 – 20 – 4  =           500 – 152 =

Extra challenge

2.3 + 4.8 + 2.1 =                           5.7 x 2 =             12.55 – 3. 60 =

99.9 + 99.9 =                       4.5 x 3 =             20 – 12.75 =              

Active learn games are also available for practicing – the school code is “6kwa”

 

IDL

As our final project for our IDL topic, we are videoing a promotional video for the charity Qhubeka – if you have a part that needs a costume can you bring it in asap so we can start videoing!
