Ready. Respect. Safe,
Problem Solving Friday!!!
Have a go at the following word problems. Some are easier than others:
For challenge 6, think about how many degrees are in a full circle (we know that a straight line is 180 degrees). The circle is split into 5 sections so how many degrees would each section measure? I hope this helps you calculate your answer. Or can you name the type of angle?
Post your work on Seesaw for you teacher to see!
Lockdown Word Collage
A nice easy, fun challenge for you!
Can you make a word collage, using meaningful words from lockdown that are meaningful to you and your family? What have you been doing? Any special events etc…
It is very simple, but looks amazing!
Go to wordart.com
Add your words, choose your shape, font, colours, layout and style, then press ‘visualise’ to see your masterpiece.
You can click on it and save it as an image to your phone!
Here is Mrs Murphy’s Lockdown Word Art:
Good luck! Please send pics of your finished Word Art!
Good morning everyone,
Hope you are all well and ready for some music today.
Firstly, are there any Star Wars 🚀 fans out there?!
Here’s a great podcast I’ve found. It’s by David Walliams, and called the Marvellous Music Podcast. Here’s the link:
http://marvellousmusicalpodcast.com
This week, I’d like you to have a listen to EPISODE 10 (John Williams and The Chamber of Star Wars) and then have a go at the quiz which I’ve attached below. **The first 2 pages are the questions and the second 2 pages are the answers so no peeking!**
Episode 10 Super Brainiac Quiz John Williams
The episode is less than 20 minutes long, and I’m sure you’ll learn something new about music by listening.
ALSO, check out the spectrogram from Chrome Labs:
https://musiclab.chromeexperiments.com/Spectrogram/
A spectrogram is just a type of graph, but one which shows sound waves in real time. Try the different options at the bottom of the page to see what different sounds look like (what a strange sentence!)
Using the hand icon, you can draw sounds onto the graph and hear what they sound like. You can also use the microphone icon to play in your own sounds (click fingers, clap hands, sing, use a musical instrument, dog, cat, budgie 🦜 …..) and see the results for yourself. Did you notice that the higher the pitch (or note) of the sound, the higher it is shown on the graph?
As always, I’d love to know how you get on, and if you have any questions, just let me know!

Roll and Draw Abstract Art
All you need for this task is a piece of paper, a dice, a pencil and coloured pens/pencils. If you do not have a dice you could ask a family member to shout a number between 1-6 or use an online dice:
https://www.online-stopwatch.com/chance-games/roll-a-dice/
Look at the picture below for guidance:
1st roll – what type of line you draw from top to bottom of your page
2nd roll – what shapes you add (2-3 of the same shape but a mix of sizes – you can overlap lines)
3rd roll – create a texture inside some of the shapes or part of the background
4th roll – what colour to add (the textured areas you may want to avoid colouring)
Have a go!!! Maybe try a couple of abstract pictures to see how different they can look!! Remember the sample picture is there for guidance, not to copy. Your abstract art should be totally different!!
Send a pic of your art to your teacher on Seesaw or by email!
Obstacle Course Challenge
With hopefully dry weather today, why don’t you get outside and use some chalk to create an obstacle course. You could set yourself a target to complete it within a set amount of time, or do it 10, 20 or more times to get your heart rate up and keep fit!
Why don’t you ask your parent, carer, brother or sister to beat your best time?
If you don’t have chalk perhaps you could improvise? Use outdoor materials, eg sticks and stones to represent different movements, for example, run from the first stone to the second stone, hop from the stick to the next stick, jump from one dandelion to the next, etc.
We would love to see photos of your obstacle courses!
Esti-Mystery
Mrs Stevenson from the Renfrewshire Attainment Team has filmed a video about Esti-mysteries. If you have never done an Esti-mystery before, this is a really great video to watch. Follow the instructions along with the video and pause when you need to, to allow yourself thinking time.
You will need a pencil, paper and 100 number square. An interactive 100 square can be found on this site if you do not have one: https://mathsbot.com/manipulatives/hundredSquare The number square will help you eliminate possible answers.
Extension Task – Here is an Esti-mystery from Steve Wyborney’s website. Have a go and let us know how you do? Do you like Esti-mysteries? Could you make your own Esti-mystery?
Reading Comprehension Task
Today we have set a challenge on the ‘Epic’ reading site. All you have to do is log on to getepic.com and enter your class code:
Mrs Murphy’s Class: ple8017
Miss Harvey’s Class: mhh6886
Miss McPhee’s Class: bqu2156
Select the Avatar with your name.
You have been assigned to read the 1st chapter for the book ‘Kid Scientists’. You may want to read it on your own or with someone at home. The first chapter is the childhood story of the amazing Katherine Johnson who made significant developments for NASA in the 1960s.
Once you have read this chapter then you can complete the quiz at the end. How much information can you remember?
Mental Health Awareness Week
We all need to look after ourselves and others in uncertain times. Have a look at the grid below and see what you can do to brighten someone’s day!
Doing something nice for someone else also boosts your own self esteem. Pick something from the grid or think of something else that you know will make someone’s day! You may want to continue your small gestures over the next few days. Let your teacher know what selfless acts you have done for others!
Magic Squares Challenge
Have a look at the Maths problem below. Each of the lines vertically, horizontally and diagonally must add up to 15 but you can only use the numbers given once. Can you complete the challenge? If you started with all blank squares and used the numbers 1-9, could you solve in a different way?
Finished? Photograph your work and send to your teacher. Why don’t you login to Sumdog and compete in Renfrewshire’s Sumdog Competition – Ends Thursday!!
Suffixes – ‘tion’ Vs ‘sion’ Vs ‘ssion’
A suffix is a letter or a group of letters added to the end of a word to alter its meaning or to ensure it fits grammatically into a sentence.
The ‘tion’ ending is so widespread because it is the more straightforward. In most cases, ‘ion’ simply attaches to words ending in ‘t’ or ‘te’ (in which case it replaces the silent final ’e’), so ‘tion’ is just the natural product of forming the noun.
However, some words also end in ‘sion’ and ‘ssion’. The prefix ‘sion’ is much less common.
A full explanation can found on this PowerPoint.
Sometimes you might see the prefix ‘cian’. This would normally refer to a person (eg. magician, electrician).
Task:
Write out the words below and add the correct suffixes to the words, using ‘tion’, ‘sion’ or ‘ssion’ and use 5 of these new words in a sentence. The first one has been done for you:
