Morning everyone! It looks like it is going to be another sunny day today, I might try to do some work out in my garden! ☀️
I came across a few P.E. challenges yesterday that you can do at home, I’ll include them below in case you would like to have a go! 🏃♂️🏃♀️
Literacy:
Today for our literacy task we will be writing an information report on a planet of your choice! 🪐
Friday 24th March
Information Report
I can write an information report.
Warm Up:
It has been a few weeks now since we have written an information report, due to the Easter holidays. Watch this BBC Bitesize clip again as a reminder of the key features of an information report. https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zkgcwmn/articles/zffy92p
Main Task:
First thing is first; you need to decide which planet you would like to research and write your report on today. This is a useful website for your research https://nineplanets.org/kids/. Additionally, this website also has some great information: https://www.sciencekids.co.nz/sciencefacts/planets.html.
Here is an example of an information report about a planet:
Similar to our example, I would recommend that your subheadings be
- Introduction
- Appearance
- Size
- Temperature
- Time
You may also wish to have a ‘Did You Know’ paragraph.
Your success criteria today are:
✔ Title (name of planet)
✔ Subheading 1: Introduction
✔ Subheading 2: Appearance (what colour it is, is it a gas, rocky or ice planet, does it have any rings, does it have any moons etc.).
✔ Subheading 3: Size (how big it is compared to Earth and the other planets, how far away from the Sun it is, etc.)
✔ Subheading 4: Temperature
✔ Subheading 5: Time (in comparison to Earth years, how long is a year on your chosen planet?)
✔ Subheading 6: Other Facts and Information (You do not have to include this subheading if you do not wish)
Lastly – remember you must write in your own words, you can’t just copy straight from the website!
Extension:
Draw a picture of your planet to illustrate your information report. 🎨

Traffic Light today’s work and leave a comment to say how you found dividing by 3 today. 🚦
Extension:
Hit the Button Division facts will give you a little extra practise in dividing by 3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqU8zu14u5I
There are quite a few Topmarks games that will help you practise dividing by 3 such as the Mental Maths Train game: https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/mental-maths-train
Fancy a sing-song? Why don’t you watch Fischy music’s assembly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqU8zu14u5I. This week they are singing the ‘Check It’ rap which I know is a fan favourite in Primary 5 (and with Mr McMullan!) 🎤
Enjoy your weekend when it comes, I’ll be back on Monday with another week of activities! 👋🏼
