Good Morning Class 4
Morning all, I hope you're all ok today?
The Year 6s are back with us again today which is great. I look forward to hearing from you all. 
Thank you to those of you who sent me jokes yesterday; watch the video below to hear some of them.
Did anybody guess the answer to my riddle yesterday?
'What travels around the world but stays in one spot?'
The answer is 'a stamp'. Well done if you got it right! I know that Charlotte did. 
Here are the answers to yesterday's maths activities:
-Year 5 Maths 8 answers.docx-
-Year 6 Maths 8 answers.docx-
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.

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!

I have set you an activity for today. Year 5's yours is about areas of rectangles, and Year 6's yours is about coordinates. 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.
Grammar task:
I have attached a link to two grammar activity sheets. There is one for each year group and so please choose the one which is appropriate to you. You can record the answers in your exercise book, and I will put the answers up tomorrow so that you can mark what you have done.
-Year 5 grammar 9.docx-
-Year 6 grammar 9.docx-
Writing task: 
I would like you to use the story of Zahra from yesterday to create an advert/leaflet to support WaterAid. You will need to think about what persuasive language you could use, as well as how you're going to make your advert/leaflet eye-catching.
Year 6, if you didn't see the story of Zahra yesterday, you can find it at the below link. You will need to scroll down the page until you get to Zahra; it is the second to last video on there.

It would be great if you can send me your adverts/ leaflets so that I can share them all, either through Purple Mash email or the class email class4@gfschools.co.uk
Learning project:
The focus for this week's project is 'around the world'.
The projects this week aim to provide opportunities for you to learn more about countries and cities around the world. Learning may focus on different cultures and traditions, famous landmarks, food and clothing.
This afternoon, you can either carry on with the project you started yesterday or you can start a new one. 
● Flags of the World- Flags are a national symbol for all countries. Cultures use different symbols and colours on their flags which are meaningful to them and represent their history and people. I'd like you to pick 5 countries and investigate their flags. What symbols and colours have they used? Why are these significant to this country? Can you create a flag for the UK which you feel represents our culture, history and people?
● Tastes of the World- Children all around the world eat a variety of food and many of the foods we eat today are inspired by other countries. Can you research and make a dish from another country which you have not tried before? You could find a recipe, source the ingredients via an online shop and follow the recipe to create a dish for the whole family.
● International Games- As part of the London 2012 Olympics a variety of countries were asked to name a traditional game which represented their culture and traditions. You can see these at the link below. Can you research these games and take inspiration from them to design your own game. Think about how the game is played, how you win and what equipment is needed. Where possible, you should test your game and make any changes needed. Please can you present your game through writing and pictures. These could be handwritten or digital.

● From Birmingham to Johannesburg- Think about what it would be like to live in another country. Do you think your life would be the same or completely different? Use the following clip to compare living in Birmingham to Johannesburg. Can you show the similarities and differences between your life and Nwabisa’s life in South Africa. You may wish to show this in a Venn diagram, table or a poster.

● Exploring the World- Throughout history many people have explored new places. You can find out about some of them on the link below. You could pick an explorer from the list or one of your choice. You should map out the places that the explorer visited or you could create a piece of art inspired by the places they visited using digital images as support. You may wish to write a diary entry from the explorer’s point of view to share what they have seen and experienced.

Have a wonderful day.
