Morning! We will be carrying on with our Sport’s theme today!! Keep your eyes peeled for the next ‘Sports week’ activity on the blog and Twitter! Remember to keep a track of your scores!

Literacy

1. Complete your fitness diary for today.
2. Research interesting facts and information about a chosen athlete/ sports star- make some notes (not full sentences). Remember to use a ‘safe’ search engine https://www.alarms.org/kidrex/ We will be presenting this information in a Biography later in the week- find out what a ‘Biography’ means. Are there any examples of a Biography in your house?

Maths

We will be continuing to learn about time today as timings are very important within Athletics.

Today I would like you to focus on writing the time in numbers instead of words.

Remember….

• You write the hour first, two dots (:) and then the minutes that have gone past the hour e.g. 4:00= 4 o’clock because no minutes have passed since the clock struck 4 o’clock- a brand new hour.

• There are 60 minutes in an hour, a quarter of 60 is 15 so quarter past is shown as 4;15 (quarter past 4), the minute hand has moved quarter of the way around the clock.

• There are 60 minutes in an hour, a half of 60 is 30 so half past is shown as 4:30 (half past 4), the minute hand has moved half way around the clock.

• When the minute hand moves past half way around the clock it is like we are getting REALLY EXCITED about the next hour coming so we count how many minutes until the next hour! When the minute hand only has quarter of the way left to turn until the next hour we say ‘quarter to’- in this position the minute hand hand moved 45 minutes since o’clock so we write it as 4:45 (quarter to 5) ‘we are getting super excited about it nearly been 5 o’clock’!

Writing:

L.I: To write a fitness diary

S.C:

 I can organise my work into paragraphs.

I can use interesting adjectives to describe my feelings.

I can write a fitness diary for each day of the week.

 This week we are asking you to keep track of your fitness using a diary.  You can use this template My Fitness Diary, write in your own diary or write in your jotter/on paper.  Included is an example diary to support your writing Example Fitness Diary.  There is also a helpful hints page Diary writing helpful hints and a self-assessment page Diary writing self-assessment should you wish to use them.

Remember to include the days, dates, timings, activity, who you did the activity with and where, and how it made you feel.  It is YOUR diary so use ‘I’ and ‘my’ when you are writing and don’t forget capital letters and full stops!

Spelling/ Reading/Phonics: Please complete one activity from the Carousel every day- Spelling phonicsreading carousel

Numeracy/ Maths– Time is very important within Sport. Athletes compete to get the best time to complete different events (e.g. running, hurdles etc) and this is how the winner is decided.  Let’s start by recapping the units of time and how to tell the time to o’clock, half past, quarter past and quarter to…

Today I’d like you to just focus on telling the time using WORDS ONLY, e.g. ‘half past, quarter to….etc’
