Good Morning Class 4
Good Morning all. I hope you all had a lovely long weekend in the sun (well apart from yesterday).
Year 6s, today should be the start of SATs week! I can't believe it really; it feels very strange that it isn't! This morning, you should be sitting the Grammar paper.
As it is Monday, I have a disney clip for you. Just click here and enjoy...

I love Beauty and the Beast! 
Remember that if you would like to send me examples of your work or simply want to tell/ ask me something then you can use Purple Mash email or the class email address: class4@gfschools.co.uk
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!

Just for a change, your reading task for today is to read for at least 30 minutes. 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:

I have set you an activity for today. Year 5s, yours is about short and long multiplication, and Year 6s, yours is about modelling percentages. Remember to go through the lesson before you do the questions. If you find it difficult, you can go back to the lesson and have another go at the questions. I will be checking how you're getting on as the day goes on.
You could then also spend 15 minutes on Sumdog. The link is below:

Spelling task: 
Please practise the Year 5 and 6 common exception words in your exercise books. Spend around 15 minutes on this task. Ensure that you choose spellings that you don't already know how to spell.

If you are already able to spell all of these words or are fed up with using the same list, then feel free to choose spellings from the below document. It has a number of pages to it, and you can choose any of the spellings.
-KS3-Spelling-Lists.pdf-
If you're used to doing the high frequency words instead, here is a list of the second 100 high frequency words for you to carry on with.

Writing task:
Today, I would like you to write me a postcard. It'd just be nice to hear from you, and hear what you've been up to at home. Feel free to include any news you have or new skills you have acquired. Have any of your family had a recent Birthday in lockdown? It was my brother's birthday on Friday and so we had to post his presents, and we had a family zoom call to celebrate.
I have put a '2do' on Purple Mash for you to do this, or as usual you can do it by hand or on a computer.

Being kind...
Carrying on with the importance of being kind, I would like everyone of you to make sure that you do one specific kind act today. Do it on purpose; do it so that you know you've made someone smile. Smiles are contagious afterall!
Learning project:
The focus for this week's project is 'food'.
The projects this week aim to provide opportunities for you to learn more about food. Learning may focus on where different foods originate from, what makes a healthy meal, opportunities to cook etc.
Choose one of these projects to start this afternoon. 
Which Foods Contain the Most Sugar? You should choose a selection of food items from the food cupboard, fridge and freezer. You should then identify the nutritional label and record the amount of sugar that each food contains. Once you have gathered the information, record the sugar contents on a pie chart and evaluate the data. How will your findings change what you eat?
Plough to Plate- Choose a food from any of the 6 main food groups.Then locate the country/countries of origin on a world map and work out how far the food item travels to get to your plate. Following this, you should sketch a diagram detailing the journey the food has taken and add captions and timeframes. What could we do to reduce how many miles our food travels?
Creative Creations- Cadburys are launching a new chocolate bar. You will create a criteria for Cadbury chocolate packaging by researching current Cadbury products. Once you have a criteria, you will use this to design your own packaging (you may want to do this on a computer if you have access to one). Finally, gather some feedback from your family about the design. Use the feedback to adapt and refine the design. After creating the chocolate bar, you can then compose a jingle that could be used in an advert. This could be created by using household items such as pots and pans or by using these virtual instruments.
Come Dine with Me - You are responsible for creating a three course meal for four family members. You need to create the recipes for a starter, main meal and dessert. Think about what ingredients you will need to make your recipe and write a shopping list of items. You should then research how much the ingredients will cost using a supermarket website of your choice. Where is the most cost effective place to buy the ingredients? You could then test out a recipe by making it for dinner that evening. Family members may even wish to score each course!
A Balanced Diet - Think about the food a toddler might eat compared to an adult athlete. You will then choose five different types of people (e.g. a child, teenager, athlete, teacher etc.) and draw a plate of food that will ensure they are eating a healthy, balanced diet. Underneath each plate, you must justify why you have chosen these foods. Think about the calorie intake each of these individuals might need. Can some people have more of one type of food group? If yes, why can they?
Have a great day everyone, and I really look forward to seeing your work.
Take care
Mrs Barker
