Arithmetic: Can you have a go at the next arithmetic test I have uploaded to the class webpage? I have included the answers, so you can check your test back. Is there anything that you may need to practice after checking your test?

Grammar: Can you have a go at the test style parenthesis questions below, using your knowledge from parenthesis this week?

English: Friday- L.O. To write a non-chronological text about a Mexican animal.

Today you are going to write up your non-chronological text about the Mexican animal! Remember to be a risk-taker and to consider your audience. What did you want to know about the creature? Would your audience want to know the same things?

Try to use some extended vocabulary and maybe include a glossary!

Maths: L.O- I can work out the volume of cubes and cuboids.

Can you have a go at the suggested activities below?

Topic: Today is our last day on culture and tradition, I would love to see the wonderful work you have been doing!

Suggested activities for the week:

• Learn some numbers/ greetings in Spanish. There are some great videos on YouTube for this and the free language learning app Duolingo has a course in Spanish (this app is excellent!).

• Mexican Spanish is slightly different to Spanish from mainland Spain, can you find out more about this?

• Research the traditional sports of Mexico and present these as a poster or try some yourself (unless they are dangerous!)

• Try some Mexican food. There are lots of Mexican dishes in our local supermarkets!

• Research the main religions in Mexico.

• Research the Mayans! What happened to them? Have they influenced any of modern Mexico?

• Research the clothing in Mexico and design your own traditional outfit.

• In England we have the monarchy and government. Is this the same as Mexico? Do they have any laws which are different?
