English: LO: to create a haiku poem.
Haiku poems follow a syllable pattern of 5,7,5. So the first line has 5 syllables, the second line has 7 syllables, and the third line has 5 syllables. They are very short!
As long as a poem follows this pattern, it is a haiku. However, some haiku poems make more sense than others!
For example:
Haikus are easy,
But sometimes they don’t make sense,
Refrigerator.
The above is a haiku! But, it doesn’t make much sense… Can you write a haiku poem on something you can see around the house?
Maths: LO: to calculate multiples of money.
Yesterday in maths you used your superpowers to multiply money! If you found this tricky, you could use today to keep practising this. If you managed it, then try the following:
Your superpower has backfired and is no longer working as it should! Now, instead of doubling money you can halve it! Think of an amount of money (or get some coins and count out an amount of money), then use your superpower to halve that amount and work out how much money you now have. Make sure you use an even number or it won’t halve correctly.
For example – if I counted out £1.20 and then used my superpower, I would start by halving the £1 to get 50p, then halve 20p to get 10p. I now have 60p!
Using real money or drawing out some coins works well for this and will help you if you are finding it tricky. You could always make some money of your own and practise with this. Some board games also have money (Monopoly); you could use this instead. If you find this too easy you could always further downgrade your superpower so that you can split money into thirds or even quarters! Some money may not split equally and you might have remainders! You could use your rounding skills to calculate the total to the nearest pence if you want to challenge yourself even more.
