Cedar class learning for 10 JUN 2020
English: LO: to practise grammar skills.
Today I would like you to practise your grammar skills. In particular, nouns and adjectives. If you can print off the following to work on, then please do so. I have placed the below work on a Word document on the class website to make printing more easy for you. If you don’t have access to a printer, you could copy the sentences out first which would give you a chance to practise your handwriting!
Common noun = person, place or thing that doesn’t need a capital letter e.g. woman, sweet, tablet, city.
Proper noun = person, place or name of something that starts with a capital letter e.g. Bob, Mr Keeble, Norfolk.
Adjective = describing word.
Task one
Underline all of the common nouns and circle all of the proper nouns in each sentence.
- Henry plays games on his computer.
- Mr Fan runs in the park every Sunday.
- Caroline lives in an apartment in Caston St.
- Dr Flood is flying on a plane to Norway.
- Neena’s birthday is in March.
- Fluffy likes playing catch in Victoria Park.
- Did you see William at the party on Saturday?
- Gerrard scored a goal for Liverpool on Tuesday night.
- New Brighton was flooded because of the heavy rain.
- Quinn saw Venus through her telescope.
Task two
Underline the adjectives in these sentences:
- The little man carried the heavy box across the wide street.
- The red house stood at the bottom of the deep valley.
- The narrow road was long and the children were tired.
- The log burned brightly in the old fireplace.
- The young lady sat down on the soft, green cushion.
- The busy bee flew to the bright flowers to gather honey.
Maths: LO: to investigate measuring and perimeters.
Today’s investigation will be on different ways of measuring and calculating perimeters. There are 4 activities; try and complete as many as you can!
1) Find a large book (e.g. an atlas). Write its perimeter in 3 different ways, e.g. using m and cm or cm and mm.
2) See the below image. This rectangle has a side of 10cm and a perimeter of 36cm. What is the length of its other side?
3) A room measures 4 metres by 3 metres. What is its perimeter? If another room has walls half as long, is its perimeter also half?
4) The perimeter of a book is 22cm. Both sides measure an exact number of centimetres. If one side is 3cm longer than the other, what is the length of each side of the book?
Topic: LO: to compare and contrast humans and other animals.
For today’s activity, I would like you to consider how humans are similar or different to other animals. Think of 5 different animals, try and choose ones which aren’t very similar. For example, a sheep, a horse, a dolphin, a lizard and a pigeon.
Now, use what you have researched in our science topics to present what similarities there are between these animals, and what the main differences are.
Are there any animals which are very similar to us? Which animal is the most different to humans?
