Tuesday 2nd June

 

Maths

LO: To solve problems.

You have a tricky job today. Not only do you need to solve the problems, you need to find the information that we do not need - it is trying to trick us! Cross out the information that you do not need and show your working out to solve the problem. 

 

 

 

Challenge: Can you create your own word problem including a piece of information that we do not need?

 

 

 

English

LO: To use contractions.

Contractions are words which are created by joining two words together and using an apostrophe for the missing letters.
For example; can not in the contracted form is can’t and do not in the contracted form is don’t.

Can you create a contraction poster like the one below, thinking of your own contractions?

 

                                

 

Challenge: Now try to put some of the contractions into sentences.

Create your own multiplication wheels like the ones below. All of the numbers are multiplied by the number in the middle of the circle and your answer goes in the outside segment of the circle.

LO: To identify homophones.

Homophones are words that sounds the same but have different meanings.
For example, see and sea, their and there, through and threw.

 

Watch the video to help you understand what a homophone is.

Create a poster showing different homophones and draw a little picture next to each word to show the meaning. 

 

 

 

Topic
SLO: To explore the properties of materials.

Today we are going to investigate whether objects sink or float.

Find 10 different objects from around the house.

First, make a prediction as to whether you think they will sink or float.

I predict that ______________ will float/sink because ________________.

When making your prediction, think about the material that your object is made out of.

With a grown up, fill the sink or bath and test your objects one by one to see whether they sink or float. Take photos of each to show what happened.

 

The clip below shows you how you might carry out your own experiment.

I have given you one example in each column to help.
