Cedar class learning for 13 MAY 2020
English: LO: to create a simple script.
Yesterday you made a script based on some dialogue which someone else had created. Today, I want you to pretend that you are in charge of a TV show about your life at home and create some brand new dialogue to go into a script. One of the characters will be played by you, and someone else in your home will be another character.
Write a few lines of dialogue as a script for both of you, and then get the other person to act out their lines with you. Don’t forget you can use stage directions, a feature in scripts you should have identified on Monday, to tell characters what to do. Put your stage directions in square brackets like this:
Mark: [stands up and looks angry] What do you mean I can’t eat the whole cake?
You can write whatever you want as your dialogue, this could be an opportunity to make someone in your home say some silly things!
Maths: LO: to divide lengths.
Yesterday you calculated multiples of lengths. Today I would like you to try the opposite: dividing lengths. Find a ruler or tape measure and go and measure an object in your house. Then, calculate the length you chopped that object in half (dividing by 2), or quarters (dividing by 4), or a more tricky number.
For example: One packet of Oreos is 30cm in length. If I were to chop the pack in half (or eat half of the pack), I would divide 30cm by 2. You can solve this mentally or, if you struggle with this, use counters to work out how to divide 30 into 2 groups. Some of your measurements may not divide into equal groups and you may be left with a remainder.
For a challenge, you could measure longer objects such as the length of your garden, car, room, or even people!
Don’t forget, we used an array to help with division – see the picture below for an example of this.
