Literacy
Taken from BBC Bitesize- lesson of the 29th April. 
To create a factfile about mini beasts using connectives
Recap what connectives are first of all- they join sentences together e.g. and/ because/so etc
Watch the video about mini beasts and complete the activities to go with it.

Bronze- 

How many different minibeasts did you see in the video?  Write some short sentences saying which minibeasts you saw. See if you can write six sentences like these. 

  • I saw a snail.
  • I saw a spider.

Once you've listed them. Try using the word 'and' to join sentences together. For example: 

  • I saw a snail and a spider.

Silver
  • Get a piece of paper and fold it in to four quarters (ask someone to help you if needed).
  • Choose three minibeasts from the video and give each one a name. 
  • Then write a sentence about each one making sure you use joining words to link ideas together. 

For example

  • Sally the snail has a soft body and a hard shell because it protects her.

Gold- 

Draw six big squares on a piece of paper and then cut out each square. On one side write the name of a minibeast (you can draw it too). Then on the other side write a sentence about that minibeast. Make sure you use joining words to include more detail. For example: I can move really quickly because I have eight legs.  Once you've done six, test the people around you to see how many they can guess.

You may also wish to create a more 'traditional' fact file of a mini beast of your choice using the features discussed previously e.g. subtitles/ picture with caption/ facts/title

Maths

To compare amounts of money. 

You may wish to use real coins for this so the children can have a real life experience. The activities involving adding various amounts and working out which amount is greatest using the crocodile bites < > we have covered this before but they might need reminding. The greedy crocodile always likes to eat the biggest amount so his mouth is wide open e.g. 10 > 4 

Bronze- complete pages 1 and 2 on this link. If confident have a go at further pages. https://bam.files.bbci.co.uk/bam/live/content/zrqjqp3/pdf#sa-link_location=blocks&intlink_from_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bbc.co.uk%2Fbitesize%2Farticles%2Fzjxmxyc&intlink_ts=1588168437309-sa 

Silver/ Gold- to compare amounts of money for greater than and less than using crocodile bites < >  there are different levels within this activity. https://bam.files.bbci.co.uk/bam/live/content/zrqjqp3/pdf#sa-link_location=blocks&intlink_from_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bbc.co.uk%2Fbitesize%2Farticles%2Fzjxmxyc&intlink_ts=1588168200943-sa 

Silver/ Gold- This activity involves more problem solving/ true false work which is also handy to look at and have a go- https://bam.files.bbci.co.uk/bam/live/content/z7snscw/pdf#sa-link_location=blocks&intlink_from_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bbc.co.uk%2Fbitesize%2Farticles%2Fzjxmxyc&intlink_ts=1588168283371-sac 


Topic
To find out about a woodland animal
This will be your topic work for today and Friday. Think about all of the different animals and creatures and bugs you might find in the woodland areas. Make a list so you have these safe for another time- incase we may need it! I want you to choose one to research/ find more about. What information can you find out about that animal?Any interesting facts? Why did you choose that animal? There might be some questions you want to ask that animal. Draw or paint a picture of that animal and present your research/ information however you like- it maybe on the same page like a poster/ it maybe on separate pages/ it maybe on the computer/ it maybe post it notes/ it maybe a video of you talking about it. 

Don't forget to get someone to test you on your spellings ready for your new words tomorrow. Keep up the reading and xtable practice too! 

Just a little reminder....


Enjoy.
Mrs. Hassall
