Good Morning and Happy Friday.

We’ve made it through another week and we’ve also reached May.

Well done to OT, MS, RK, AK, ST, LH, MM, FW and TM (this is also the order of who has spent the most time on Sumdog this week!)

Here are today’s activities:

LITERACY

Starter:

How many words can you find? Find as many as you can. Remember proper nouns like people’s names or names of towns and countries, abbreviations and hyphenated words are not allowed. Think about looking for phonemes ss, sh, ea, wh prefixes like dis ,de, re, im, in at the start of a word and suffixes for example ing, ion, ate, ed, ly, able at the end of a word.

Rules:

Scoring 3 letter word 2 points

4 letter word 3 points

5 letter word 4 points

6 letter word 5 points

7 letter word 6 points,

* 8 letter word or more 11 points

Time     3 minutes or more if you need it.

The letters must be touching the next letter of the word horizontally, vertically, diagonally, left, right, up or down. Letters must join in the proper sequence to spell a word.

Activity:

Write your own 16 letters together. 4 rows with 4 letters in each row as shown in the photo and see how many words you can get this time, try to write them down as quickly as you can. Don’t forget to calculate your score at the end of each game that you play.

Now put all of your words in alphabetical order, looking carefully at the 2nd, 3rd, 4th letters and so on.

Plenary:

Try to use all of these words, spelled correctly in sentences, a short story, song or poem.

LITERACY

Starter:

1. Double 32 =
2. Double 75=
3. Double 44=
4. Double 50=

Activity

Today, leaves the last triangle, an Isosceles triangle.

Remember, they have 2 equal angles at the base as its sides have 2 equal lengths.

So

1. 32 degrees + 32 degrees (double) = 64 degrees.

180 – 64 = missing degrees = 116 degrees.

Double check by looking at the size of angle, the top missing angle in a is an obtuse angle. Would 116 degrees fit to be an obtuse angle?Try b, c, d and e.

 

Finisher:

Try a short finisher quiz on Sumdog, there are only 5 questions, it will not take you long at all.

Happy weekend, take care and keep safe until Monday,
