English: LO: to read instructions.
This week in English we will be looking at written instructions and the features of these. To get started, I would like you to find some written instructions somewhere in your house. Try looking in manuals for things you have around the home (TV, fridges, board games, etc.). Read some of the instructions. What can you notice about the instructions? What kind of words are used in them?
Maths: LO: to solve problems and puzzles.
Today we will be looking at skeleton shapes. Skeleton shapes are made with balls of modelling clay and straws.
Starter:
This shows a cube and a skeleton cube:
How many balls of modelling clay and how many straws does it take to make the cube?
The problem:
Here are some piles of modelling clay balls and straws:
Look at the shapes below and decide which piles are needed to make a skeleton of each shape.
You may find it easy to draw the shapes out yourself, or even use straws/sticks/toothpicks and clay/sweets of your own. If you want a challenge, present your findings in a table.
