Writing:

Today you are going to publish your rover story. I will tell you how we will do it in school, but you might choose to do something different like type it up on the computer or write it on lined paper or a new page in your book.

 

First:

Check that every sentence starts with a capital letter.

Check that every name starts with a capital letter (planet names, rover names, people’s names).

Check AT LEAST 5 spellings using your yellow dictionary.

 

How we will be doing it in school:

We will do all the writing in the morning, and illustrate, decorate and colour in the afternoon.

Get 3 pieces of plain A4 paper and fold them in half so they open like a book.

Put them inside each other to create a book, you could staple along the fold to keep them together.

Write the title of your story on the front page.

Carefully copy one paragraph from your story onto each page, you will have some spare pages to draw pictures on.

 

Please bring these into school next week so we can all show each other.

 

 

Times tables

Write the short date: 02.03.21

Write the title: Times Tables Test

Write the numbers 1-11 down your page.

Ask somebody to call out the following questions.

In school I always read the question out, count to five, read it out again and then count to three before moving on to the next question.

The bonus question is: 97 x 10.

If you get any wrong, practise a bit more and then try again.

1. 12 ÷ 3 =
2. 24 ÷ 3 =
3. 6 ÷ 3 =
4. 15 ÷ 3 =
5. 30 ÷ 3 =
6. 9 ÷ 3 =
7. 18 ÷ 3 =
8. 3 ÷ 3 =
9. 21 ÷ 3 =
10. 27 ÷ 3 =

Here are the answers:

1. 12 ÷ 3 = 4
2. 24 ÷ 3 = 8
3. 6 ÷ 3 = 2
4. 15 ÷ 3 =5
5. 30 ÷ 3 = 10
6. 9 ÷ 3 = 3
7. 18 ÷ 3 = 6
8. 3 ÷ 3 = 1
9. 21 ÷ 3 = 7
10. 27 ÷ 3 = 9

 

 

 

Sumdog

Go on Sumdog and complete the following challenges:

Number Challenge: 1^st March – 7^th March

Times Tables Challenge: 1^st March – 7^th March

 

 

Counting

Count out loud in 4s from 0 to 48:

Whilst doing star jumps

Whilst jogging on the spot

Whilst doing squats

 

 

Number Facts

Write down or tell somebody the totals of pairs of doubles up to 10 + 10.

Like this: 

1 + 1 = 2

2 + 2 = 4

 

Maths

Today you are going to answer some arithmetic questions.

There will be some videos available on Seesaw in the morning which will remind you of the strategies we use for some of the questions.

After watching the videos, set a timer for 20 minutes and complete the questions.

After 20 minutes, check your answers yourself and then use the answer sheet to check.

 

 

Science

Next Tuesday in school we are going to be taking part in a live online Science lesson called Future Farming Robots.

The lesson will be run by Senior lecturer Paula and engineering researcher Megan from Harper Adams University.

We will get chance to look at their robotics lab to look at how robots can solve some of farming’s biggest challenges including - How can we improve soil health? How can we make growing crops more efficient? How can we farm areas that weren’t suitable for growing crops before?

At the end of the lesson, Paula and Megan will be answering questions sent in by children. So we are going to come up with some questions and I will send them in with the hope that we will have some of them answered.

 

Write the long date: Tuesday 2^nd March 2021

Write the title: Can I suggest questions about the future of farming?  

I would like you to write at least 3 questions (more if you want) and send them to me on Seesaw.

They might be about:

Paula and Megan

Robots

Soil

Farming

Tractors

Future technology

Jobs that farming robots might need to do

 

Art

Illustrate your rover story with pictures, patterns, borders and decorations.

Use colour to make it look exciting.

If you have typed your story, you could either print it and illustrate it or add images from the internet.

 

Reminders

Please keep sending me your work on Seesaw – I am so proud of you for the work I have seen so far.  Today I would like you to send me a photo of your science questions.

Don’t forget to go on Sumdog.

 

 

Have a super day J I am so proud of each and every one of you!
