Maths, English, Reading Comprehension and Music

12.01.21Hello Antelopes,

In this presentation you will find your maths, English, guided reading and music lessons for today. The following lessons should take

approximately 40 minutes each.

Maths- Warm up

Times table practise on Daily Ten. Please choose level 4. Multiplication and then choose the times table you would like to practise.

MathsLO- To calculate the perimeter of squares, rectangles and other related irregular shapes.

What is perimeter? The perimeter of a shape is the distance around its edges.

6cm

Not to scale Here is a square with 4 sides of 6cm. If we want to work out the perimeter of the square, we want to know how long the distance is around the outside of the shape. So, to find this we need to add all of the sides together.

Perimeter (p) = 6cm + 6cm + 6cm + 6cm Perimeter (p) = 24cm

Or P= 4 x 6cm (Because all of the lengths are the same)P = 24cm

What is perimeter? The perimeter of a shape is the distance around its edges.

Not to scaleHere is an equilateral triangle with 3 sides of 7cm. If we want to work out the perimeter of the triangle, we want to know how long the distance is around the outside of the shape. So, to find this we need to add all of the sides together.

P = 7cm + 7cm + 7cm P = 21cm Or P= 3 x 7cm (Because all of the lengths are the same)P= 21cm

We can also find perimeter in real

life. The perimeter of a room is the

total lengths of its walls.

P = length + width + length + width

The perimeter of a garden or field is the total length of the fence around it.

Please watch this short video, which explains perimeter, for further explanation.

P= 5cm + 6cm + 7.5cm + 6cmP= 24.5 cm

Answers explained Opposite sides on a rectangle are equal length so we know the measurements of the missing sides are 8cm and 3.5cm.

We can either add these measurements up in our head or use column method to help us. Just be careful when adding your decimals.

To find the perimeter we need to add all of the sides together, however, this time we have some measurements missing. The next few slides will walk you through the steps. If you want to try it first yourself you can.

First, find the missing lengths. We did this in class last term.

Finding the perimeter of irregular shapes. (Not to scale)

X= We know that opposite sides on a rectangle are the same. So x is the same as 3cm + 6cmSo, x = 9cm

Y=We can see that if we added y and 4cm together it would get us the side opposite to 8cm. So, 4cm + y = 8cm. So, 4 + 4 = 8So, Y = 4cm

Now we know all of our lengths we can add them together to find the perimeter.

P= 8cm +3cm + 4cm + 6cm + 4cm + 9cm

P= 34cm

Find the perimeter of the irregular shape below. Remember to find the missing sides first. The answers and explanations will be on the next slides.

AnswerStep 1- Find the missing lengths.

X is opposite 8cm and opposite sides on a rectangle are the same.So, X = 8cm

There are two lengths of y which means these are the same length. Opposite we have the length of 12cm.

So, 2cm + y + y = 12cm.

12 – 2cm = 10cmSo, y + y = 10cm which must mean that y is 5cm.

AnswerStep 2- Now we need to find the perimeter by adding the lengths together.

P = 5cm + 2cm + 2cm + 2cm + 5cm+ 8cm + 12cm + 8cm

P= 44cm

Think about how you can add these up quickly in your head. Which measurements might you add together first? Just be careful not to miss any or add them more then once.

Here is a table showing the measurements of rectangles. Find the perimeter of each rectangle.

Answers

Remember that rectangles have two lengths the same and two widths the same.

Explanation for row 1. P= 12cm + 12cm + 4cm + 4cm So P= 32cm

Here is a new table showing the measurements of new rectangles. How can you find the missing measurement if

you have the perimeter? Have a go.

Answers

Explanation- If we know the perimeter we can work backwards to find the missing length or width. The Perimeter is 16cm so we know that length + length + width + width is 16cmWe had the measurement of the length which was 6cm. So 6cm + 6cm + width + width = 16cm. 6 + 6 = 12. So 12 + width + width = 16cm. The difference between 12 and 16 is 4. So width + width = 4. Which means one width must be 2cm. So 6cm + 6cm + 2cm + 2cm = 16cm.

Task-Worksheet – Calculate the perimeters of squares, rectangles and other related irregular shapes.

Challenge 1- Add the lengths and widths together to find the perimeters. Challenge 2- Measure the lengths to find the perimeter and then calculate the perimeter from the clues. Challenge 3- Calculate the perimeter from the clues provided.

Please now complete the selected worksheet which is available on the website.

Extension answers

Extension answers

English- To give an opinion on a character and discuss their feelings and attitudes using the text as evidence.

Click on the link below to listen to Mrs Stewart read the last part of chapter 3 of ‘Journey to the River Sea.’

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DgWiR03ZqNM

TaskFrom what you have heard in chapter 3, I would like you to reflect on the Carter family. Do you think they are good people? What are their beliefs, attitudes, and intentions?

Task 1- Use the grid on the worksheet to formalise your ideas (if you cannot print, you can copy out the table) and then write a paragraph about the Carter family.

Task 2-Think about how this chapter would affect the reader. How does it make you feel? How would it make other readers feel? Use evidence in the text to justify your opinions. There is an example on the worksheet.

Please now complete the worksheets which are available on the website, please choose either challenge 1, 2 or 3.

Guided reading Please complete the reading comprehension activity available on the website.

Today’s guided reading focuses on inference skills. Sometimes, the exact answers are not written in the text so we need to use the clues that are there to work out what the answer is.

The thunder boomed! My dog hid under the bed and was shaking like a leaf.

Q- How is the dog feeling?

A- The dog is scared, I know this because it is hiding and shaking.

You can choose challenge 1, 2 or 3. Please spend approximately 20 minutes on this and make sure you check your answers.

Challenge 1

Challenge 2-Complete both worksheets on inferences.

Challenge3

Music- Charanga YUMUPlease complete step 1 of Stop!, the charanga course I have set for you. This is a song about bullying. Follow the steps on the webpage. Each week we will complete another step/lesson. Your login and password will be sent home to you today (12/01/21).

Task 1 is to listen to and appraise the song. There are questions to answer on the website or think about these ones below.

1) Do you like the song? Why/Why not?

2) What instruments can you hear?

3) What genre of music is it?

4) How did the music make you feel? Why?

5) What does the song make you think about? Please explain, I am looking for an answer in more depth than ‘bullying’.

6) What music do you normally like to listen to and why?

Please then work through the rest of the activities on step one, including the warm up games and learning to sing the song.
