Cedar class learning for 05 JUN 2020
Spelling: Can you remember the spelling rule you have been learning this week? Get someone at home to test your memory of it, and then get them to pick out 10 words from your word list and see if you can spell them correctly!
Arithmetic: This week we looked at quick subtraction skills. Get someone at home to ask you 10 quick-fire subtraction questions and see how fast you can tell them the correct answer!
English: LO: to have a P4C discussion.
Today I would like you to have a P4C discussion at home. There is an expression which is ‘an eye for an eye’. Is this a good way to live your life? Talk through this with someone and remember to give clear reasons for your opinion and be respectful of the opinions of others.
Maths: LO: to use different forms of measurement.
I would like you to try and bring all of the different forms of measurement we have studied this week together in a mini-building project. I would like you to try and make a 3d shape which can contain some liquid. To do this, you will need to use your measurement skills to work out the lengths of the sides of your shape. Once you have built it, I would like you to try and work out the capacity of your creation. Use a jug with measurements on the side to work out how many litres of water it can hold. How much does your creation weigh when it is empty? How much does it weigh when it is at full capacity? Take some pictures of your object and share them so that others can see what you have made.
Topic: LO: to investigate the skeleton.
Today I would like you to look into skeletons. What is a skeleton? What does a skeleton do? Find a drawing of a human skeleton and look at which bones correspond to your body parts. Try and learn some of the names of the main bones in the human body and label them onto a drawing of a skeleton.
How many bones do humans have?
What do you think would happen if we didn’t have a skeleton?
Do all living things have skeletons? Find and compare a skeleton of a different animal to a human skeleton, what differences can you see?
Do insects have skeletons?
