Maths
LO: To improve my times table recall.
It's time to improve your table knowledge on Times Table Rockstars. Improve your score and amaze your friends. You could even challenge an adult. I bet you could beat them.
English
LO: To write with a balance of speech and narrative.
Imagine that one weekend you and your best friend go for a walk in the park. After a few minutes, you come across an unusual tree with a tiny door at the bottom. You decide to open the door...
You will need to think about the following things:
What type of story are you going to write?
Where does the door lead to?
What characters will you meet?
How to keep your story interesting for the reader?
How to begin and end your story in an exciting way.
Remember to include examples of speech and high quality vocabulary.
Science
LO: To take and record precise measurements related to the weather.
Spring is an exciting season which can see anything from snow, rain or scorching sunshine. What will Spring 2020 be like? Create your own weather diary and make a note of the changing weather.
What to do:
Decide on a location where you are going to record the weather each day like you garden,
yard or front doorstep. Make sure you can get to the same place every day and at the
same time. Record the following each day to create a weather diary.
What is the temperature?
What are the people passing your house wearing? Are they wearing t-shirts, jumpers or coats? If you have a thermometer, hold it out into the air for a minute to see how cold it is. If you haven’t got a thermometer, you can use the temperature on your phone.
How strong is the wind?
Look at any trees or bushes. Are people’s hair blowing in the wind? Check the wind speed on the Met Office website for the wind speed in your area.
What is the direction of the wind?
Pick up a piece of grass or a tiny piece of tissue paper, throw it into the air above your head, which way does it go? Using a compass or a compass on your phone, work out which direction the wind is coming from.
How much rain has fallen?
Using a plastic 2litre bottle, carefully cut the top off ¼ of the way down from the top, invert the top into the bottom of the bottle to make a funnel and add a little water to weigh it down. Mark off one centimetre intervals above the water line to make a gauge to record the rainfall.
Wednesday 1st April
