Cedar class learning for 3 JULY 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 short division. Get someone to give you 10 questions and see how quickly you can solve them using this method.
English: LO: to have a P4C discussion.
Today I would like you to hold a mini P4C session at home. Have a discussion with someone in your home around the following question:
If everyone was a billionaire, would the world be a better place?
Maths: LO: to understand symmetry.
To finish off our week on shape I would like you to do some work on symmetry. If you can, use squared paper for this activity. If you don’t have any squared paper, try and use lined or draw a grid on some plain paper to help you.
With a ruler, draw a square on your paper. Then, draw a line directly down the middle of the square. On one side of the line, draw a shape (see the picture). To start with, draw a simple shape such as a square or an equilateral triangle.
Now, I would like you to draw the shape on the other side of the line as if it was reflected in a mirror. For the shape in my example, see the other picture.
Practise drawing 3 shapes symmetrically. To check if you have done this correctly, you can fold the paper down the centre line; the two shapes should completely cover each other.
If you want to get your art skills involved in this activity you could take a picture of something (even yourself) and cut it in half. Stick it onto a piece of paper and then try and draw the other half of the picture.
