Good morning on another beautiful morning, I hope you all managed yesterdays tasks and are ready for today.  I am introducing a mini topic on Africa, where we will be investigating the people, animals, music and art.

Your tasks are posted in Google Classroom, here is a framework for the day;

Task 1 – Exercise – Choose Joe Wicks and complete his daily class or suggest a different class (you might have found someone different, I like the Les Mills dance class) for your friends.

Task 2 – Spelling activity – Spelling City

Use the link below, find your word list and try out the free  word search. Then create a game with your family, a loop card game where they can only use the card if they can correctly spell the word would work well.

Task 4 – Maths – Equivalent Fractions – watch the two video clips to help revise what you understand about equivalent fractions. Use the fraction wall you made yesterday, or the one I’ve attached to complete the worksheet and finally exercise 3 & 4 from the booklet.

Task 5 – Mindfulness Task – Understanding  yourself. Sometimes we live with people (brothers and sisters) who we think we know really well, but we can often become complacent  and never really speak to them, today’s task should help with this.

Look at the list of questions and the template for the Fortune Teller. Choose some questions and fill the template with them, now go and get a family member to ask you the questions and you can ask them.

Task 6 – Africa Mini Topic.

First we need to investigate facts about Africa;
Where is Africa?
Is it a country?
How many people live there?
What size is it, in comparison to Scotland?
What is the weather like?
Can you create a colourful factfile or an A4 sized word document with the information you have found?
You have a map page to label and colour to add to the factfile which will help with information.
While you research and work on your factfile, click on the link and listen to the African music in the track.

Have a lovely day researching and enjoy listening to the music, its maybe not your taste but it is quite relaxing.

Remember if you are stuck with the maths, message me.
