Good morning, I hope everyone is in good spirits and keeping their vocal chords tuned for their entries to the school online show. Tomorrow is the last day for entries and a quick reminder that P6 can choose any song from the musical Mama Mia. If you are undecided about your song, don’t worry, I have attached a link to a website with music and lyrics (below).

Task 4 – Maths – Fractions of an amount. – I have tried to explain and attached a chilli challenge worksheet.

Task 5 – Homemade Lunch Pizza– This is a basic recipe which I use myself to make a simple pizza base some lunchtimes (you might need to ask a family member to get some of the ingredients).

You will need;

• equal quantities of flour (I use whatever I have in the cupboard, usually self raising) and plain yoghurt (greek yoghurt, creme fraiche, sour cream)
• a teaspoon salt
• a tablespoon oil

Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl (a half cup of flour / yoghurt should be enough to make 4 saucer sized mini pizza) until you have a non-sticky dough. Use your hands to get all the ingredients mixed together. Leave to sit to 20 min for the dough to rest. Kneed the dough again for a few minutes and split in to 4. Roll out using a little flour and place on a baking tray.

For the base I use some tomato paste mixed with tomato sauce, spread a layer (not too much or it will get soggy) on to the base, grate any cheese on top and add anything else you fancy. Tuna and onion is tasty, so also is thinly sliced ham and sweetcorn. You can change the base using barbecue sauce which will give a lovely sweet version.

Bake your mini pizza for around 10-15 min at 180, keeping an eye on it to make sure it doesn’t burn. Serve and enjoy.

My explanation makes this sound really long, but it genuinely only takes minutes (sometimes I only rest the dough for a few minutes).

Have a go and send me some pictures.

Task 6 – Africa – Animals and terrain.

From completing the task on Tuesday, you now know that Africa is a Continent made up of 54 separate countries. Look at the map which is attached and pay attention to the key.
There are deserts, savannah, rainforest and mountain terrains.
Can you research the differences between the terrains and the type of animals you would find there. Note down what you find, then choose 1 animal to focus on from each terrain.

Use a sheet of paper fold it in 4 and create a colourful information leaflet with key points in each section.

Remember to explain why the animals live in that terrain, what country it is and how the animals adapted? I have included some music to listen to get you in the spirit of Africa.
