L.I. To identify the key features of a WAGOLL
Yesterday you should have researched a famous athlete or sporting star or your choice. Later in the week you will be presenting this information in a Bibliography. Did you find out what a Bibliography means? It is when you write about another person’s life! Have a look at these examples (you don’t need to read all of them) CfE2-T-73-Scottish-Olympians-Information-Sheets -this is the kind of thing I would like you to write!
Can you spot these key features?
- A Title
- A Picture of the Athlete
- Formal language ( e.g. not chatty, keeps to the facts)
- Written in paragraphs
- Written in 3rd person (e.g. uses he/she/ they and their name, for example ‘Tim’)
Information about…
- Where they are from
- What sport they complete in
- Their team mates
- Which Olympics they have competed in
- How many medals they have won
- Their fastest times etc
Maths/Numeracy
Ordinal numbers are used a lot when we are talking about what position someone finished in a race or when sport is commentated. Watch this song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0CWWNzprEQ4
Find out the 10 fastest athlete times to complete the 100m sprint and use ordinal numbers to record them https://www.alarms.org/kidrex/
L.I. To estimate time intervals.
Estimating how much time something will take you is a really important life skill. Adults are constantly estimating how much time it will take to drive somewhere, finish a task etc so we are not late and can fit everything into our day! Today I have underestimated how long it will take to write my blog and now it’s a little late! Sorry!
I would like you to predict how long it will take you to do….
- 20 star jumps
- 30 sit ups
- 40 high knees
- Say the alphabet
- Touch your toes and reach back up the sky 10 times
- 10 tuck jumps
- Write your name 8 times
Now, use a stop watch to record how long it takes you to do these activities. Were your predictions accurate? If not, why? How can predicting time help you with your time keeping?
