Today’s challenge is to research something you’re interested in – I chose to find out more about the Kelpies in Falkirk. Did you know that the Kelpie statues are 30 metres tall, and their names are Duke and Baron?

Today’s challenge is to draw a picture of something but you can only use straight lines! No circles, curves or ovals allowed!

Today I have a place value challenge. Look at the pictures below and write down how many thousands, hundreds, tens and ones there are, and how many altogether.

Today I would like you to match up the start of the sentence with the correct end – make sure to read it over to check it makes sense!

I went to the park                                                            but it’s all been eaten!

My favourite film is Monsters Inc                             and saw lots of dogs

Last week I baked bread                                                               because I love                                                                                                                      Sulley and Boo!

Today, we’re going to be thinking about distance and direction. I’d like you to create a set of instructions for someone to find a hidden treasure. Don’t tell the person what the secret object they are looking for is – if they don’t find it, redo your instructions and try again!

For example, if I hid a teddy at the bottom of the stairs, my instructions might read:

Start in front of the couch and face the TV.
Walk forwards 6 steps.
Turn to the right.
Walk forwards 3 steps.
Turn to the left.
Walk forwards 2 steps.
Look to the right and reach down.

Today I have another Art challenge. On Tuesday, I asked you to come up with a character who lived in the picture I posted here: https://blogs.glowscotland.org.uk/wl/simpsonps/2020/06/02/miss-blyths-daily-challenge-6/. Today, I would like you to try and illustrate your character – it can be just their face, their whole body or even a scene that they are in! 😀

For today’s daily challenge, we’ll be revising your sequencing/ordering skills. Answer the following questions:
1) Put the numbers in order from biggest to smallest.
13           29           7              101         12           43

2) Put the numbers in order from smallest to biggest.
100         99           89           76           12           102

3) Figure out the next numbers in the sequence. What is the pattern?

22           32           42           52           ?              ?

4) Figure out the next numbers in the sequence. What is the pattern this time?

37           42           47           52           57           62           ?              ?

5) Figure out the missing number – look carefully at the pattern to figure it out!

189         169         ?              129         109

Happy Tuesday! I have a writing challenge for you today.

For today’s challenge, I would like you to look at the picture below. Decide the setting (place and time), come up with a character and write at least one thing that happens to them.

Here’s my idea:
Setting: Magic Valley, 1000 years ago
Character: a fairy named Sparkles
Event: She has to journey through the Magic Valley to find a special spell to save the Valley from evil wizards!

(Bonus points if you can figure out where this picture was taken! Hint: it’s somewhere in Scotland.)

Happy Friday! It’s the last day of Fitness Fortnight. We’d all like to say a massive well done for how engaged you’ve been with the activities and challenges over the last two weeks!

My Friday challenge is a scavenger hunt around your house! See if you can find something shaped like a cube, a cylinder, a sphere, a cuboid and (as an extra challenge) a pyramid!
