Today’s Tasks

If you feel that this is not enough there is more work in the “extra work” folder in Files.

You choose how and when to do your tasks.  Tasks can be done either in the assignments tab, class notebook, in a document which you email to me or you can just do it in a jotter and either send me a picture or ask someone at home to look at it and give you some feedback. You can do your work anytime that suits you, and in any order you like.  However, if you need my help I will only be available during school hours.

Writing – Write a narrative story about a ladybird.  We will be looking at a Julia Donaldson book for inspiration.  Remember that a narrative must have a complication and a resolution as well as the orientation and personal comment that we are used to in our recount writing.  Remember to write a plan first!

Maths – Fractions of a quantity (Textbook pages in your jotter) book 2a pg104 fractions of a quantity

Music (from Mrs Lang) – Hello everyone!

Hope you are all having a good day.

I’d like you to watch a clip by the RSNO. (They are the Royal Scottish National Orchestra.) They have filmed this in Glasgow in their kitchen. https://youtu.be/DeVd9olCSWU Challenge 1

Next, ask your grown up if you can borrow a plastic tub and a spoon please.

You will now have your own drum.

Can you join in and copy each rhythm?

You might want to play the clip a few times. Have fun!

I’d like you to do some singing as well.

 

https://youtu.be/IXGFtDftYRw  Start the day with exercise.

Join in with group 1 when the song splits.

Your third song is any one that YOU would like to choose.  Please sing it to someone in your home.

p5 Tasks for Wednesday

Wednesday 01/04/2020

If you feel that this is not enough there is more work in the “extra work” folder in Team Files.

You choose how and when to do your tasks.  Tasks can be done either in the assignments tab, class notebook, in a document which you email to me or you can just do it in a jotter and either send me a picture or ask someone at home to look at it and give you some feedback.  You can do your work anytime that suits you, and in any order you like.  However, if you need my help I will only be available during school hours.

Literacy:

Spelling – diacritical marking using all 10 of your spelling words (you could use a coloured pencil/pen for the marks)

Grammar – Collective Nouns pg18-19 Tudor and Stuart

Maths – Find a fraction of a number book 2a pg102 find a fraction of…

Topic – Make a model of a medieval siege weapon.  It could be a siege tower, a trebuchet, a catapult or any other weapon you learned about in your research on Monday.  If you didn’t do any research on Monday then I suggest you do some before you start.  You may wish to look at your notes from Monday to remind you of what you learned.  We will take 2 afternoons to work on these so don’t rush.  You can make a simple catapult out of a piece of card and a pencil (!) but you can use whatever materials you have around the house: lego, cereal boxes, lollipop sticks, clean yogurt pots, paper, kitchen paper rolls etc.

Here are some website links to give you some ideas to get started:
