Week 5: This is the new home learning grid. Each day you can pick

1. 1 English activity 2. 1 Maths activity 3. 1 other activity

We suggest that these tasks could be completed throughout the day, in 20/30 minute bursts with breaks in between.We have also included a list of our usual daily tasks to run alongside the English, Maths and Other Curriculum Areas activities. Some activities will need online access, please remember that this does not need to be a laptop/PC…this can be accessed using different platforms such as laptop, computer, Ipad, android tablet, kindle fire, mobile phones, etc. If you have any problems accessing the activities below, please contact your class teacher via the class email address.

History – UK What do you know about the history of this country? What are the key different periods? Can you put them in order by creating a timeline? This is called chronology. This might help – https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/subjects/zcw76sg

I want you to become an expert at one of these periods (apart from the Tudors and Vikings).

Do some research and then write the key facts up – you could do a power point if you wish to!

Grammar – Synonyms/AntonymsWhat is a synonym? What is an antonym? https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zfkk7ty/articles/z8t8pbk - check your understanding! Look at these words and find some synonyms and antonyms for them – try and make them interesting!

Measures – Estimating lengthHow good are you at estimating? I would like you to find 12 items from around your house. Draw a table – as below - first estimate the length/height of your object. Record this using the appropriate measure e.g. mm, cm or m. Now measure it accurately – think about using the most appropriate piece of equipment in order to do this. What could you use instead of a ruler if your object is very long or tall?Object Estimate Exact

Challenge – find something which does not have

Geography – UKHow well do you know the geography of our country? Do this quiz to find out!https://www.beano.com/posts/british-geography-quiz How many did you get right?

Reading – ComprehensionWatch this clip – particularly the one on inferencehttps://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zs44jxsYou have a choice –Either complete the reading comprehension in your pack ORComplete the reading lesson on Bitesize read by Dianne Buswell and complete the activities given.https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zdnkd6f Remember to think about the skills you will be using – fact retrieval or your inference skills!

Measures – Accurate measureWhy is it important to measure accurately? Can you think of any jobs for which this skill is essential?I would like you to have a go at the sheet in your pack – there are two sides to it! Be careful you have been asked to write your answers in centimetres not millimetres and to round your answer to the nearest 0.5cm.How are you going to measure the lines which are not straight?

RE/MusicLots of people express their faith through art or music. Certain music can be very calming and spiritual especially in times when things are not as we usually know them.Have a look at Ten Pieces - https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/ten-pieces/watch-this-do-this-weekly-activities/zjy3382 Learn to sing the beautiful melody from Jean Sibelius’s epic piece Finlandia or find another piece of music which helps you keep and calm.

Writing – This year it looks like we will be holidaying in this country! There are some amazing places to visit.I would like you to spend some time researching a place you would like to visit now or in the future. It might be one you have been to before or why not choose somewhere different? You might also want to consider asking your family! Have a look at a map of the UK to help you and think about how long it would take you to get there. Do you have a pet you want to take? All these considerations need to be taken into account.I would like you to then write a persuasive leaflet with lots of information about this place. You can add pictures and diagrams – you might want to look at this clips to remind you about the key features of persuasive writing.https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zkgcwmn/articles/zrjqpg8https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/class-clips-video/english-ks1-ks2-how-to-write-a-persuasive-text/zkcfbdmYou now need to plan a draft before moving onto a finished version. Remember non-negotiables!

Measures - Problem solvingHere are some problem solving activities to help you practise your skills and recap on ones you have learnt in previous weeks!

Do you measure up? A game for two or more playersIt is a game that uses your knowledge of measuring tools, but it is also a game of chance. Why is that?https://nrich.maths.org/1266Challenge - Lengthy journeysUse a map of the UK to find these places – Leicester, Cambridge, Oxford and London – now do the activityhttps://nrich.maths.org/6051/noteDid you enjoy these? Let me know!

Science – Exploring pressure - making a barometerThis experiment will help you relate changes in air pressure to changes in the weather. See the instructions below.You need to consider the best location for your barometer and also how often you monitor and record. You also need to record the weather alongside any changes in pressure observed. High pressure usually results in clear, cloudless skies which mean fine, dry weather in spring and summer and cold, dry weather in autumn and winter. This is known as an anticyclone – an area of high atmospheric pressure where the air is sinking. Low pressure causes the air to rise, forming clouds which condense into precipitation, so usually indicates unsettled, wet and windy weather. This is known as a depression.

Writing – After making sure you have produced a polished version of your leaflet, you now need to present it to your family to persuade them to go to your chosen destination. Here are some ideas for writing a speech or look at the clips from yesterday.

Maths – Doodle Maths/TT RocksRemember daily practice will keep up your skills and knowledge for when you return to school! I am checking your scores and can see who is using Doodle Maths/TTRockstars and is on track to achieve their targets!

Being creative!Design a poster encouraging people to visit your chosen holiday destination – here are some examples from the past! (and of course Wales!)

INSTRUCTIONS FOR MAKING A BAROMETERYou will need:• an empty tin or jam jar• a large balloon• scissors• elastic bands• some tape• a bamboo (barbeque) skewer• a ruler• a marker pen• an empty cereal box1. Cut the mouthpiece off the end of the balloon and stretch the balloon over the top of your empty jar or tin.2. Using the elastic bands secure the balloon to form an air tight seal.3. Carefully tape the blunt end of the skewer to the middle of the stretched balloon.4. Tape the ruler to the wide side of your cereal box and stand it so that the pointed end of the skewer can be used to take a reading. Note the point at which the skewer rests on the ruler as your first reading. Use the marker pen to indicate this by drawing a line across the cereal box at this point.5. Position your barometer where it can be left undisturbed and monitor regularly for any movement of the pointer.6. As you record each change in pressure remember to observe and record the weather patterns that follow.
