English 1 – Inference, respond and explain Using the link, enjoy the trailer of A Bug’s Life to help you understand/remind yourself of the story. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ljk2YJ53_WI – A Bug’s Life Now, let’s focus on one of the story’s main characters: Hopper. Watch the clip a couple of times. Read English 1 sheet, and using evidence from the clip, answer the questions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OvcVB6lcYkQ – Hopper Scene

Maths 1: Problem-Solving – Trial and Error Warm-up: Got It Game – First one to reach 23 wins. Got It is an adding game for two players. You can play against the computer on the link or with a family member. It is a version of well known game called Nim. https://nrich.maths.org/1272/index The first player choose a whole number from 1 to 4. Players take takes to add another whole number from 1 to 4 to the running total. The player who hits the target of 23 on their turn wins the game. Play several times. Can you find a winning strategy? Can you always win? Does your strategy depend on who goes first? The Problem – Sealed Solution The activity is all about being resilient in using trial and error to discover the number cards sealed in the envelopes. Read Maths 1 sheet to embark on this challenge! Remember to record your workings as you go o you can keep track of what you’ve tried.

Art – Finger Printing In the Pixar movie, Up, the main character, Carl Fredicksen, sells balloons. In the film, he uses balloons to carry his house to another land. Using the art sheet, add colourful balloons to the house with your fingertips and paint. Enjoy!

Maths 2: Mental Maths Workings out in our heads or with just a few jottings can sometimes be the most efficient way to calculate an answer. Often we can use facts we already know to solve a question or can round and adjust numbers to make them much easier to work with. This Maths 2 sheet is all about using facts we know and rounding numbers to them easier for us to use in our heads. Every section on the sheet has been split

Experiment Time! Watch this clip about 5 cool experiments you can do with balloons. Some of the experiments will require adult supervision so with an adult, choose one or more of the experiments to try out at home.

From the creators of Toy Story, comes the story of Flik, a determined and brave Ant. Join Flik on his daring adventure to find other insects to help him and the rest of the Ant colony defeat the grasshoppers, led by the infamous, Hopper. Alongside his newfound friends from the city, Flik forms a passionate and lively team. Will they be able to overthrow the grasshoppers and will Flik find love? Enjoy this heart-warming and funny family film… A Bug’s Life! Success criteria: Commands e.g. join, discover, unravel,

embark Ambitious vocab e.g. daring, defeat,

newfound, lively Embedded or relative clauses e.g. Flik,

who….., Advanced punctuation e.g. - ; : or …

into three levels – you choose your own level for each section. For today, aim to definitely complete page 1 and if you have time continue to page 2.

English 3 – Design your own Pixar character For any Pixar film of your choice, invent and design a character that would fit into that film. Here are just a few examples: A Bug’s Life - another insect that Flik meets Cars – another vehicle Toy Story – another toy, child or family member Monster Inc – another monster It is entirely up to you! Draw and colour your character; remember to give them a name. Then write a short paragraph or factfile telling me about them.

What are they like? What do they want? What role do they have in the film? How does the audience view you character?

To give you some ideas for how Pixar create their characters, you could watch the clip. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UdDZFr31ApE

Maths 3: Column Addition Column addition is a great written method for adding numbers when there is lots of carrying between place value columns. Trying to carry over lots of columns in your head can be quite tricky otherwise. The Maths 3 column addition sheet covers two pages and has three chilli levels. Each chilli level involves practising the column addition method and is followed by a reasoning question. Choose the chilli level you want to start at or complete all three – it’s up to you!

Family Fun - Pixar Quiz Quizzes can be so much fun. For this activity there two Pixar quizzes. You could ask your family to help you or compete against your family members! Choose one quiz to do or try out both! Character Quiz How many Pixar characters can you name from the Pixar Character Quiz sheet? There are 40 characters to name and tell me the film they star in. Movie Knowledge How well do you know the details of different Pixar/Disney movies? There are 30 questions for you to try to answer on the Pixar Movie Knowledge sheet.

English 4 – Plan a film review Over the next two days, you’re going to write a film review for a movie blog. The movie you review can be any Pixar movie of your choice; one you have definitely seen and can remember well will help. To help you get a better idea of movie review blogs, here is a link to a children’s movie blog. On the website, explore the purple links which take you to some Pixar movie reviews. https://www.kidsfirst.org/kidsfirstnews/?s=pixar

Today, plan your film review using the English 4 sheet to help you make notes and structure your writing.

Maths 4: Column Subtraction Again, column subtraction is a great written method for taking away numbers when there is lots of exchanging between place value columns. Trying to exchange over lots of columns in your head can be quite tricky otherwise. Just like yesterday, the Maths 4 column subtraction sheet covers two pages and has three chilli levels. Each level involves practising the column subtraction method and is followed by a reasoning question. Choose the chilli level you want to start at or complete all three – it’s up to you!

P4C: Inspirational Quotes Seeing and reading inspirational quotes can be a really helpful way to make people feel happy, pick themselves up when they’re low or to make a right the decision when it’s not going to be easy. Read through some of Pixar and Disney’s favourite inspirational quotes on the Pixar Quotes sheet.

Choose your favourite quote to make into colourful, bright poster to inspire others. Then pop it up in your windowsill or somewhere in house to remind yourself and your family.

English 5 – Write up your film review into a blog Now, today you need to write your film review in full sentences. Remember you can have a look at the link from yesterday to remind you how to write your blog. Use the English 5, blog page sheet.

Maths 5: Which method is best: written or mental? This week, you’ve looked at both mental methods and written methods of calculation. Today’s Maths 5 sheet is all about deciding when it’s best to use a mental method and when it’s best to use a written method. You’ll need to look at the numbers in the questions carefully and think about if and how you could add/subtract easily in your head, perhaps rounding and adjusting, or whether the numbers are best suited to a written method. You’ll also need to explain your thinking.

Federated Activity Father’s Day is coming up on Sunday 21st June. Can you think of something nice you could do for your Dad, Stepdad, Grandad or Uncle?

Maths 1: Problem Solving

What cards in the envelopes?

A set of ten single digit cards, 0 to 9, have been placed into envelopes. Each envelope contains two of these cards.

The total of two cards inside the envelope is written on the envelope.

What card numbers could be in the ‘8’ envelope?

Some things to think about to help:

What are the possible ways of making the numbers on the envelopes?

Which number on the envelope has the fewest possible combinations? – It might be worth starting from this envelope and looking at what could be in the others.

If you’d like more help getting started:

“I think the ‘3’ envelope has to contain cards 1 and 2 or 3 and 0 because 1+2=3 and 3+0=3.

I shall choose one of these combinations and cross out those cards as they can’t be in any

other envelope. Right now, how could I make 7 with the remaining cards? I must

remember to cross out the cards as I use them because I can only use each one once.”
