Ready. Respect. Safe,
I hope you have all established your rules. Specific rules are important – they allow everyone to have the same understanding of what is allowed/not allowed. Without your rules, you may have lots of questions and interruptions during your quiz.
Wednesday: Your task for today – Advertising your Quiz Night:
Music
Have a go at playing the piano!! Click on the link below:

Can you make up your own song? Or how about trying one from this link:

The green notes are for your right hand (playing the melody). You may want to practise your right hand first before attempting to add your left hand.
An angle is a measure of how one line is rotated onto another line (where the 2 lines join). Angles are measured in degrees. There are various names to describe angles, based on their sizes:
The curved/circular line in the angle examples show the size of the angle. Sometimes a right angle is represented with a square rather than a curve.
Can you identify what the following examples are using the correct names:
acute, right, obtuse, straight or reflex
Reading for Enjoyment
Time to sit back, relax and curl up with a good book. Pick a book or story that you want to read. It may be a favourite novel, magazine, e-book, annual, fact book or reading a story to a sibling…anything goes!!!
Once you have read your book think about the following questions:
Extension Task – if you could recreate your own front cover for whatever you are reading, what would it look like? Draw your own interpretation of the front cover.
How did you get on with yesterday’s task? Drawing out a mind map can help you to organise things into sections which can help with your planning.
Tuesday: Today’s task – Making Rules:
As you know, your task this week is to create a family quiz night. Each day you will be given something to organise for your quiz night.
As the slide for Monday was quite difficult to read, I will send all the slides for the week. You will still get a daily reminder at 1pm for each task set that day. Click on the link below:
This will ensure that you can see all the tasks clearly.
Perimeter
Pick 2 rooms in your house and calculate the perimeter. You may want to note down the length of each side of the room or draw a small scale diagram to help you. A measuring tape would be the easiest to use. You could measure in metres and centimetres. If you don’t have a measuring tape, you could measure in steps (heel to toe). Don’t forget to write down the unit of measurement in the answer.
Try to pick a room in your house that isn’t just a rectangle or square shape to make it more challenging. Or you could measure a larger area like your garden.
Good Luck!
We are learning to identify features of poetry.
Read the following poem by Valarie Bloom.
Pirates
The night was as dark as an ink well,
For the moon had gone visiting elsewhere,
But by the scuffling sounds around me,
I knew there was someone there.
By the grunt and the groan and the muffled shout,
I knew there was someone else about.
I knew he had come here to rob me,
Take my silver, my jewels and gold,
In the dark I had the advantage,
It was as if he had a blindfold,
But I was fine, knew the lay of the land,
Each bit as familiar as the back of my hand.
He was caught in the second trap I’d set,
I heard him yelp with pain,
But he was getting closer,
And I reached for my weapon again,
I was willing to die for what was mine,
ready to strike if he crossed the line.
So I stood there over my treasure,
On the X which marked the spot,
Then suddenly he was behind me,
My stomach twisted into a knot.
Then Dad came in, turned on the light,
Said, ‘Time to stop playing. Sleep well. Good night.’
This is an example of a ballad. Can you find out what a ballad is?
Task 1
Answer the following questions about this poem
Task 2
Can you think of other writing devices that weren’t used in this poem? Try and write some examples for these devices that would fit into the story in this poem.
eg:
alliteration – The pirates shiny, silver sword slashed through the sky.
Your job over the next 5 days is to create a ‘Family Quiz’ to host on Friday night or at some point over the weekend. Each day you will be given a specific task to complete that will help you to organise your Family Quiz Night.
Monday: Here is your task for today – Organisation:
Please send photos of any planning to your teacher.
Perimeter
Perimeter is the distance around a 2D shape. You can measure the perimeter of small 2D shapes with a ruler, or you can measure the perimeter of larger 2D areas (like rooms in your house, gardens) with something like a metre stick, measuring tape or trundle wheel.
Whatever you measure something in, you have to remember to write the unit of measure you have used (Eg. cm, mm, m etc)
Here is an example of measuring perimeter:
4cm + 4cm + 4 cm + 4cm
= 16cm
Perimeter = 16cm
Not all shapes are this easy though:
We need to work out the length of the bottom line before adding all the sides together. We can work that out by looking at how long the shape is at the top (3cm + 4cm =7cm)
Now we can calculate the perimeter. ?
There are 3 chilli challenges for you to complete – mild, hot and sizzling!! See which one you want to have a go at. Or why not try them all!
