Maths 3 – add and subtract mass Remember: Mass is the quantity of matter in an object, measured in grams (g) or kilograms (kg). (1000g = 1kg)

Do it

Look at the scales shown. You need to work out what

the interval is each time. (What do the lines between the numbers mark?)

Secure it

Additional Challenge

Maths 4 – measure capacity (1) Remember: Volume is the amount of space an object takes up. Capacity is the measure of an object’s ability to hold a substance. It is measures in millilitres (ml) or litres (l). (1000ml = 1l)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GKCE8ohIBqE Do it

Look at the scales shown. You need to work out what the intervals are.

(What do the lines between the

numbers mark?)

Note: The English spellings of millilitre and litre end in “re”.

The American spellings end in “er”.

Secure it

Additional Challenge

Look around your home to see if you can find things that

have been measured in ml or l, e.g. milk, squash, shampoo.

If you have any jugs or containers at

home which have the measurements

on, maybe you could do some practical

measuring using ml.

Maths 5 – measure capacity (2) Do it

Look at the scales shown. You need to work out what

the interval is each time. (What do the lines between the numbers mark?)

Additional challenge

English 1 - Reading Comprehension Complete the activity and then mark it yourself.

English 2 - Slow Write

Slow Write Write yours into your exercise book.

Year 4

1. Write a sentence using the word ‘mechanism’.

2. Write a sentence using a contraction (e.g. wouldn’t, don’t).

3. Write a sentence using a preposition (above, beneath, within).

4. Write a sentence using a conjunction (while, although, when)

5. Write a sentence using an adverb.

Example: 1. Elsie carefully turned the ornate, golden door handle, hearing the mechanism inside

clunk, and eased the heavy, wooden door open just enough to slip inside the room.

2. She knew she shouldn’t be in here but Elsie was desperate to know if the magic

would happen again.

3. She approached one of the golden orbs lined up along the centre of the library floor,

and carefully placed her finger on the top.

4. Elsie thoughtfully selected as many of the heavy books as she could carry while the

coast was clear.

5. With a flutter of excitement inside her chest, she strode confidently into the centre

of the room, her shoes click-clacking off the chessboard-like floor.

English 3 – planning a playscript Today you are going to plan your own playscript. It can be a play about anything you chose. Writing a play is a bit like writing a story but in the play the story is told through the words and actions of the characters. You need to think about:

plot (what is going to happen)

main setting (where your plays takes place)

3 scenes (a bit like chapters)

characters (the people/animals in your play)

dialogue (words that your characters say)

Plan your playscript using the planning sheet below. Characters Give names and any important information, such as their age, what sort of person they are or their relationship to each other.

e.g. Tom, age 7, crazy about space

Setting Describe where your play will take place. You may want each scene to be in a different place.

e.g. Scene 1: Tom’s bedroom

Plot Write notes about what happens in each part of your play. (Beginning, middle and end.)

e.g. Scene 1: Tom and Sam playing happily with space Lego

Scene 1

Scene 2

Scene 3

English 4 – drafting a playscript Today you are going to draft your playscript. The clip below shows what to include and how to lay it out. https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zsn4h39/articles/zx8kng8 Think about how the play which you acted out last week was set out on the page. Character’s name followed by a colon.

How to speak, actions or expressions in brackets.

Words to be said written as sentences.

Tom: (happily) Look at this Sam, my rocket is ready for take-off!

Sam: (looking at Tom’s Lego rocket)

Awesome. Let’s begin the countdown.

Tom and Sam (loudly) 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, BLAST OFF! Introduce each scene and where it is set before you write the dialogue. It will look like this in your book: Scene 1: Tom’s bedroom, the floor covered in Lego Tom: (happily) Look at this Sam. My rocket is ready for take-off! Sam: (looking at Tom’s rocket) Awesome! Let’s begin the countdown. Tom and Sam: (loudly) 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, BLAST OFF! Use yesterday’s plan to draft your playscript in your exercise book. Remember you DON’T need speech marks. Steps to success:

Follow your plan

Character’s names

Colon after character’s name

Information for characters in brackets

Dialogue (words to be said)

Dialogue punctuation

3 scenes

Extra: Think about any props which would be good to include.

English 5 – revise and edit your playscript - perform your playscript

Today you need to read through your draft from yesterday. Try to make some improvements. Steps to success: Check your spelling Check your punctuation Improve your word choices Check it makes sense

If you have time, act out your playscript. Have fun!
