Maths-Using standard measures
Yesterday we looked at non standard measures. Today we will look into using standard measures to prepare a product. I have uploaded a no cook playdough recipe in Hwb in the topic folder. Alternatively you could use any recipe.
- Bronze: Follow the recipe to create no cook playdough.
- Silver: Edit the recipe to double the amount and halve the amount.
- Gold: Tell them that we can use different types of measures to get the same result. Explain that grams are a different type of measure. Use this website to convert cups to grams https://www.goodtoknow.co.uk/food/cups-to-grams-converter-87833. Explain that the amount hasn't changed
Topic-My toys.
Today and tomorrow we will look at the toys of today and the toys of the past. I have uploaded a worksheet that children can use to help them complete this task but this is optional
- Bronze: Find their favourite toy and draw a picture of it. Now label the feature of the toy such as what it is made of, whether it is electronic or not and what it is made of
- Silver: Could this toy of existed when your grandparents were your age? Sort your toys into toys that you think could be around when your grandparents were children and into toys that could not of been
- Gold: Try to prove that your sorted toys are correct. (They could ask parents/grandparents, research on the internet or watch a childrens TV show/film set in the right time period.
English-Capital letters, full stops and joining words.
Today we shall use part of the BBC bitesize lesson to help us use full stops, capital letters and joining words correctly. https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zmqtnrd. Ask the children if they can remember when we should use a full stop (End of sentences); capital letters (start of sentences and proper nouns like London or Shirley) and joining words.
- Bronze: Complete activity 1
- Silver: Look through the no cook recipe. Can they find examples of joining words, full stops and capital letters? They could highlight each one in a different colour. a piece of work they have completed previously. (Could be the penpal letter or the topic work they have just done) Have they used capital letters, full stops and joining words correctly? They can highlight each example green as they find them in their work.
- Gold: They choose a piece of work that they have done to self edit. They highlight capital letters, joining words and full stops as before and edit if needed. (Remember to praise the work and explain that everyone makes mistakes the first time)
