On Monday you set yourself a target to complete by the end of June.

We have heard some great ideas and know that you will be able to meet this target!

So, this afternoon is time for you to work on that target!

A contraction is a word or phrase that has been shortened by dropping one or more letters. In writing, an apostrophe is used to indicate the place of the missing letters.

For example:

I am = I’m

Task One

Can you turn these words into contractions?

1. are not
2. do not
3. I have
4. is not
5. we are

Task Two

You have made 5 contractions. Write a sentence using each one. Make sure to include a capital letter and the correct punctuation!

Time to get active!

Complete the Active Page in the Wellbeing booklet and get moving!

Click the following link to listen to the first chapter of Harry Potter.

It is read aloud by Daniel Radcliff who plays Harry Potter in the films!

Answer the following questions after listening to the chapter:

1. 1. When describing the Potters, Rowling coins the term “UnDursleyish.” From what you know so far of the Dursleys, how would you define “UnDursleyish”/“Dursleyish”?
   2. On the day Harry’s parents died, what were some of the strange things happening that Mr. Dursley noticed?
   3. If McGonagall is right that Dumbledore is the only wizard that Voldemort “was ever afraid of” why does Dumbledore say that “Voldemort has powers that I will never have”?
   What do you think he means by this?
   4. How are we first introduced to Harry Potter?

Today we are going to be designing our very own video game character.

This character should be suitable for a child aged 7 – 11. The game has a retro theme like the games of the 1980’s and 1990’s.

Your character should be the hero of the game. To stick to the theme your character should be designed in pixels.

Pixels are the tiny dots of coloured light that make up images when displayed on a screen, like a computer monitor.

 

On page 60 of your home learning booklet there will be a template for you to use. Can’t wait to see your characters!

We are going to be looking at time over the next few weeks. Today we will be focussing on quarter past and quarter to.

An hour is 60 minutes long. If you imagine the clock is a circle, each quarter would be 15 minutes long. 15 + 15 + 15 + 15 = 60

 

One quarter of an hour (or 15 minutes) has past when the minute hand is at the number 3.

Half an hour has passed (or 30 minutes) has past when the minute hand is at the number 6.

Three quarters of an hour (or 45 minutes) has past when the minute hand is at the number 9.

We call this quarter to because it shows one quarter of an hour until the next hour.
