Elm Class Friday 24th April 2020

Suggested learning, Elm Class.

Today is sharing assembly day! I would love to see some of the fantastic work you have been working on this week!

Spelling: You have been practicing tious and cious ending words all of this week, could you get someone else to test you on 10 of the words you have been learning?

Arithmetic: I have uploaded to the school website the first arithmetic test for the Summer term for you to have a go at, or you can get someone at home to write down some questions to test you on. I have also uploaded the answers for the test, for you to check your own answers.

Grammar: Revision of adjectives, verbs, nouns and adverbs,

Can you rewrite these sentences, making them more descriptive by adding adjectives?

1. In the forest stood a tree.

2. The River ran down the mountain.

3. The spider spun a web.

4. Flowers grew at the edge of the lake.

English: Lots of people have been brightening the days of people they know by writing letters to them. Think of the people who you know who you would like to cheer up and write them a letter or an email. Make sure you lay out the letter correctly and write properly, using appropriate punctuation and grammar (if you are writing to a friend, you could add in some colloquial language/slang).

When you have finished, send your letter!

Maths: Today we are looking at converting between units of time. For today, you will need to remember how many seconds are in a minute and how many minutes are in an hour. Can you find a few of your favourite DVD’s? Usually on the back of the box, it will say how long the film lasts in minutes. Can you convert this into hours and minutes? Challenge: How long do the films last in seconds? Do you have a calendar in your house? Can you work out how many days are in each month if you can’t remember? How many days are in a year? Using your knowledge from today, can you have a go at these challenges?

1. Convert the following

a) 8 days = how many minutes?

b) 3 weeks = how many hours?

c) Half an hour = how many seconds?

2. Write these times in order, starting with the shortest:

24 days, 600 seconds, 48 hours.

Topic: Can you choose another activity based on the climate and geography of Japan to have a go at today? Next week we will have a different theme as a focus of our research on Japan!
