31 May 2020
Good Morning Class 4
Happy Wednesday! We're already half way through the week, not long until the weekend! I hope you all enjoyed the beautiful weather yesterday? It was another lovely day!
I just want to say a big hello and welcome to Harry who has joined us this week. He is in Year 5, and I'm sure is looking forward to meeting more of his fellow Year 5s. I look forward to meeting you soon too Harry.
I was really pleased to hear how well you got on yesterday Year 6. Mrs Lewis said you were all lovely, and very sensible! Well done, I'm very proud of you. Keep it up!
Today, it's riddle time...
'What appears once in a lifetime, twice in a moment, but never in one hundred years?'
I will let you know the answer tomorrow. Feel free to email me if you think you've worked it out.
Great work yesterday Year 5, especially maths! Eve, I loved hearing about your new chicks!
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!

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, as always, to read for 30 minutes. Remember, when you complete a book, you can still do your AR quiz as you normally would at school. Follow the link below:

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 6.docx-
-Year 6 Maths 6.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.
Spelling task:
Today, I would like you to create your own sporting wordsearch. This could include the names of athletes, sports or sporting equipment.
You should begin by creating a grid, then add in the words you want people to find and then fill in the gaps with random letters. You can decide whether you give the person completing it, the list of words to find or not!
Writing task:
I would like you to choose a sports person that you admire. You will need to research their life so that you can write a biography about them.
You need to ensure that you are researching effectively by making sure the websites you use are reliable, and you obviously need to put it in your own words. Make sure you have enough information to fill your biography, and remember it needs to be in chronological order.
You can write this in your exercise books or type it on a computer. If you can, send me what you've done via email. I'd love to read them.
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 'sport'.
The projects this week aim to provide opportunities for you to learn more about sports and games. Learning may focus on the history of sport, sporting-heroes, physical challenges and performances.
This afternoon, you can either carry on with the project you started yesterday or start a new one.
● Sport Genius - Research about sporting history and see how many different facts you can find out about sports from the past. Create your own sporting trivia quiz which you can test out on members of your household. Or you could place different sporting events from the last 100 years onto a timeline.
● Sporting Heroes - Select your favourite sporting star. Then you should draw a portrait of them in the style of the famous pop artist Roy Lichtenstein using felt tip pens or paint - you may need to research him first! Please send me you creation so I can share them all.
● Name that Sport - You could create an orienteering map of your home/garden. At each location you will need to create a question relating to a sport e.g. Which sport has the most rules? The answers can then be recorded on an orienteering sheet. Can you create an answer that begins with the letter of the next location? You can test it out on a family member.
● Beat It! - Begin by measuring your resting heart rate by counting how many beats in a minute. Then carry out an exercise e.g. running, skipping, star jumps etc. for 3 minutes. Once you have completed this you should carry out a recovery activity e.g. walking or sitting and see how long it takes for your heart rate to go back to normal. Repeat this with different recovery exercises to see which is the most effective at getting your heart rate back to normal the quickest. Can you create a way of showing your results?
● Anyone Can Be a Champion! - This activity is all about exploring the diversity of sport. You should research the history of the Paralympics. Discuss why we have the Paralympics. You should create a poster which presents the importance of the Paralympics and the range of different sports there are.
Have a super day everyone.
