A message from Miss Mapother...

I hope you all have a lovely day learning today! Today you are going to be doing your morning activities of Maths, English and Grammar and then in the afternoon you shall be learning about light and dark in Science. Make sure that you have registered before you start your work for the day (use the link above) and then make sure to upload all of your lovely work to the blog so I can see it later!

Maths

For today's lesson, you are going to continue with length. Today you will learn how to make appropriate estimates of length by comparing. 

To do this you are going to need some equipment: please see if you can find some paper, a pencil, a ruler and something that is similar to a centimetre for example, a mini peg, paperclip or tiny block. This will be explained more in the video below so please click on the link. 

Worksheet:

Now please complete the worksheet below..

BREAKTIME!

Have a short 15 minute break from your work, have a snack and have a run around or do something you want to do to relax for a few minutes!

English

Yesterday you watched the video about Pigeon Impossible. Today you are going to plan your very own exciting adventure story based around the video. 

First, refresh yourself by watching the video again...

Creating your character....

In the video, the main character who caused some of the mischief was the pigeon. You are going to create your own character for your story. This needs to be an animal or a creature, it cannot be a human!

Use the template below to plan your character, think about some great adjectives and housepoints for expanded noun phrases. 

After you have completed the sheet, make sure to have a think about what your character is going to get stuck in (just like the pigeon got stuck in the briefcase), is it going to be a briefcase/suitcase/car...you will plan this more tomorrow. 

Grammar

Yesterday, you learnt about fronted adverbials in your basic skills lesson. Today, you are going to put it into practice by using some fronted adverbials to describe a scene from The London Marathon. If you need a refresh about what fronted adverbials are, please see the link below. Then, complete the sheet by writing a descriptive piece of writing. The first sentence has been done for you...

On Sunday 23rd April, thousands of people hit the streets of London to take part in the annual London Marathon.
