Good Morning Class 4
I hope you're all feeling ok this morning? We're already half way through the week, not long until the weekend.
I have a riddle for you today...
'What is always in front of you, but can't be seen?'
I will let you know the answer tomorrow. Feel free to email me if you think you've worked it out.
These are your tasks for today. Remember, you can do the tasks in any order, and you don't have to do everything if you don't have time.
PE:
Have a look at the below link. There are lots of ideas for different PE type activities that you could do at home; give one a go!

Maths task:
I have uploaded a maths question sheet for each year group today. Click on the correct one for you below:
-Year 5 Maths 3-V294914644.docx-
-Year 6 Maths 3-V294914665.docx-
You can write your answers straight into your exercise book or you can print the sheet off and fill it in. I will put the answers up tomorrow so you can see how you've got on.
Reading task:
Reading is the most important task I put on here so please make sure you do it, even if you don't do everything else!
Your reading task is to read for 30 minutes today. You should use your reading book for AR. Remember, when you complete a book, you can still do your AR quiz as you normally would at school. Follow the link below:

Writing task:
I haven't given you a spelling task today as the writing task will take you a while.
I would like you to write an autobiography about David Attenborough. You should include information about his life, how he has helped the environment and the positive impact he has had on global changes.
You will need to do some research first so that you have plenty of information to write about. You then need to make sure that you put the research into your own words. Remember, to write in paragraphs, use correct punctuation and include an introduction and a conclusion.
You can write this in your exercise books, or on word, or I have set up a '2do' on Purple Mash if you would like to do it on there.

Being kind...
I am sure you are all being kind every day, but make an extra effort to make sure you do something lovely today. It can be anything, but it will make someone smile, and that's the main thing!
Learning project:
The focus for this week's project is 'environment'.
The projects this week aim to provide opportunities for you to learn more about the environment. Learning may focus on changes to different environments, the impact of humans on environments, climate change etc.
Endangered Species- The tiger, amur leopard, orangutan, sea turtle and the sumatran elephant are some of the most endangered animals on the planet. Choose an animal from one region and describe how it has evolved to suit its habitat. Now consider how your chosen animal may need to adapt due to the current environment and human threats it faces. Create an informative leaflet about the threat the animal faces and what humans can do to minimise these threats.
Upcycling, upcycling- Choose an item within the house that you do not really use anymore - this could be an old item of clothing, accessory or household item - and upcycle it to make a new item that you will use. Then evaluate the product and identify any areas that you could improve if you were to make it again. You may even want to write a set of instructions so that other people can upcycle the same item too.
Protecting our Oceans- Marine life faces a number of threats including plastic pollution, tourism, habitat destruction, ocean warming and overfishing. How can we make a difference now? Sketch an image representing the impact society is having on today’s oceans using a drawing material material of their choice. Afterwards, you may wish to sketch an image of an ideal ocean environment. You can use websites and books to find out what makes the best environment for marine life to flourish (you could look at the Great Barrier Reef and its significance).
Do People Intentionally Damage an Area?- Imagine that a new park, housing development, restaurant or other structure is being built on green land near their home. How might this be positive for the environment? How might this be negative for the environment? Create a poster that explains the pros and cons of this new development. Consider wildlife, air and noise pollution and jobs.
Have a great day; I look forward to hearing from you.
