Literacy:
Today for our literacy task we will be writing an information report! β
Friday 27th March
Information Report
I can write an information report.
Warm Up:
In class we recently started learning about information reports as we were writing one all about Fairtrade.Β Watch this clip on BBC Bitesize to remind yourself of the key features of a report. https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zkgcwmn/articles/zffy92p.
Main Task:
Today we are going to be writing an information report on an animal.Β This could be your favourite animal or simply an animal that you think would be interesting to write an information report on. π¦π¨π’π¬π¦§π¦π»πππ¦π¦₯π¦π¦‘π¦π¦π¦π¦ππ¦ π¦ππ¦π¦
Here are some examples of animal information reports:
Your success criteria today are:
β Title (name of animal)
β Subheading 1: Appearance (what they look like)
β Subheading 2: Habitat (where they are found)
β Subheading 3: Diet (what they eat)
β Subheading 4: Habits (what they do)
β Subheading 5: Predators/Threats (do they have any animals that eat them or are they endangered?)
β Subheading 6: Other Facts and Information
β You can also include a drawing of the animal if you wish.
You will need to research the animal and take notes on these subheadings.Β Remember you must write in your own words, you canβt just copy straight from the website!
Extension:
Complete the quiz at the bottom of the BBC Bitesize clip you watched for the starter task. https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zkgcwmn/articles/zffy92p
If you would like to do a little more writing there is an excellent podcast just now run by a man named Pie Corbett.Β He broadcasts it every day, but I would advise that you start on his first one (Monday 23rd March) as he explains how to do the interactive activities and everything will make a lot more sense!

Main Task: Dividing by 10, 100 and 1,000
27.03.20Β Β Β Β Β Dividing by 10, 100 and 1000
I can divide by 10, 100 and 1000.
Activity 1: Times Tables
Recite the times table that you chose to work on yesterday.Β Then practise your skills on Hit the Button.Β You could go into multiplication or try division facts as that is our focus for today.Β https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/hit-the-button
Activity 2: Divide by 10 and 100
Watch this YouTube video to remind yourself how we divide by 10 and 100. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPaqhYFHNUI
When dividing by 10 all digits move 1 place to the right β‘οΈ. Β So, for example, 920 Γ· 10 = 92.Β When dividing by 100 all digits move 2 places to the right β‘οΈβ‘οΈ. Β For example, 6200 Γ· 100 = 62.Β Remember you can draw your place value chart to help you.
Activity 3: Divide by 1,000
When dividing by 1,000 all digits move 3 places to the right β‘οΈβ‘οΈβ‘οΈ. Β So, for example, 82,000 Γ· 1,000 = 82.Β Remember you can draw your place value chart to help you.
Traffic Light todayβs work and leave a comment to say how you found dividing by 10, 100 and 1000. π¦

Extension:
If you would like some extra practice, test your knowledge of multiplying and dividing by 10, 100 and 1,000 by answering these questions.Β Make sure you read the questions carefully! π
Lastly, I donβt know about you but I am really missing assembly and hearing those oh-so catchy assembly songs!Β Well, lucky for us, the people who wrote the songs have decided to do an online assembly every week whilst schools are closed!Β You can teach your whole family the songs and have a singalong! π€Β https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GcPYmV-2DY4
