English Maths Other

English 1 – reading – inference and language skill development https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2fR9HqilmKM First, watch the clip above. The clip is called ‘Playmate’ and was created by John Lasseter, who was the creator of Toy Story. To begin with, simply watch the clip and enjoy; sit back and take it all in. Once you have watched the clip, please go to English Sheet 1 Here you will find all of today’s reading activities that you will need to complete. If you need to re watch the clip or discuss, please do, as this will only help.

Maths 1: Mental Arithmetic Mental maths is very important, why not focus on working calculations out in our heads or with just a few jottings Often we can use facts we already know to solve a question or can round and adjust numbers to make them much easier to work with. Read Maths 1 sheet to embark on this challenge! Here you will find a set of problem cards for you to work through. First, enjoy playing Daily Ten Maths Online. We would recommend having a go at level 5 or 6 doubling and halving. Warm up Game:

Physical Education: building endurance and fitness Work hard to raise the pulse, making the heart fitter and your body more energised Please see the Hampshire Games activities and the Monopoly Fitness game below on the sheet named Physical Education Sheet 1. Have fun completing this with your family. If they are busy or working, instead of making it a game, you could take 10 of the exercises and complete them on your own. Good luck and enjoy. Remember to drink plenty of water too. This came could be completed inside or in the garden if, you have one or enough outdoor space

English 2 – writing ( descriptive ) English Sheet 2 We want you to have a go at mapping the robot’s (Playmate) emotions and different points in the clips. His feelings change throughout the clip. We have given you the plot points. See photos if you can’t watch it, your job is to tick the emoji that best fits his emotions at that point. After, you will need to take one of your plot points and write a short paragraph in first person explaining how he is feeling. Please see the WAGOLL below. Here is a WAGOLL to help you with your paragraph. Feeling furious, I pushed harder and harder onto his head. I wanted to crush him and for him to disappear forever. Why ruin our game? What is wrong with you? My blood began to boil. I was bubbling like a witch’s cauldron. I could feel my heat racing and my body becoming tense. I lost it; I had finally had enough of his stupid games. I grabbed him by his head and made my way towards the wardrobe. I flung up the door… AIM and FIRE! I stood, while his small rustic body catapulted through the air…

Maths 2: Compare and Order Fractions (Part 1) We are going to spend the next two days looking at ordering and comparing fractions. Today we will focus on the denominator (bottom number of the fraction). Please see Maths Sheet 2 for all of today’s questions. Remember to think about what you already know and apply these skills to solve all of the questions. First, take a look at this BBC Clip, it may just help you with your questions https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jx9SDcidYH8

Geography – locate and explore UK cites Today you are going to complete some UK geography. Before you start, we would recommend that you remind yourself what counties make up the UK and write a short definition that explains what a city, town and village is. We have a short clip for you to watch from Toy Story. You job is to decide if the characters are in a town, village or city.

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

Once you have watched the clip, you job is to located 16 UK cites on a map. You may use the internet or an atlas to help you. You may know some already!

Please see and complete Geography sheet 2. Have fun developing your knowledge of where you live!

English 3 – reading, inference using evidence from the clip Today we are going to look at finding evidence. We need to make our point (P) and then explain our answer using evidence from the text (E). After, we must complete the last (E), which is to Explain why we think what think. We need to remember to PEE! I have completed the first one for you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2fR9HqilmKM – here is the clip again if you need it. Please see English Sheet 3 for your task.

Maths 3: Compare and Order Fractions (Part 2) Today our challenge is to complete part two where we will be focusing on the numerator (the top number in a fraction e.g 1/3 1 would = the numerator). Please see Maths Sheet 3 and complete questions 1 – 8. Again, remember to apply what you know. Use your multiplication skills to help your tackle these problems.

Mental Wellbeing: Today the theme is wellbeing and is all about keeping positive and feeling happy! We have put together a grid of different activities that you can do at home to promote feeling good. There are many activities for you to choose from; we are not expecting you do them all! Just pick a few that you like the look of. We hope you enjoy doing some of them. Please upload these to Seesaw as videos and photos. It would be wonderful if we could see you doing some of these tasks. See Mental Wellbeing sheet 3 for all of the activities.

English 4 – writing – complete a short dialogue between two characters Today you are going to write a short dialogue between the characters. We are going to write one between the young boy and his new friend who comes around to play with him in his bedroom. You job is to apply what you know about inverted speech and the rules of speech. Please see English Sheet 4 and a short WAGOLL below of what is expected. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2fR9HqilmKM – here is the clip again if you need it. “Shall we play a game together?” exclaimed the boy. She scanned the room, in awe of all his cool and interesting gadgets. “That would be wonderful!” she replied in a soft and gentle voice. She thought to herself for a moment and then headed towards the carpet while still look back at the small robot that had just be ‘fobbed’ off by the boy. Her eyes beady as she turned her head from her shoulders. “We should play chess, it is my favourite. My Nanny taught me to play. Can you play?” asked the boy. I hope this gives you an idea. Likewise, if you wish to pick another section to write a dialogue for, you may.

Maths 4: Finding a Fraction of an amount Still on the key theme of fractions, today we are going to focus on finding a fraction of an amount. It might be useful to head to this website first. https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zjtg47h The website provides an explanation, give examples, shows a method and even provides a short video clip using and applying the bar model. You do not have to work these out using the bar model, it may just help you if you are unsure. It is a great visual representation. See Maths Sheet 4 where the questions have been divided into 1 and 2 chillies. Please do what you feel works best for you.

Science: Why not try one of our fun science experiments. There is a choice of 2. One is called ‘Water Fireworks and looks at density. The other is called ‘Invisible Extinguisher’ and this experiment looks at the gas called carbon dioxide and combustion reaction. To see these experiments, please go to Science Sheet 4. We hope you have fun, please upload photos of this to SeeSaw, and we would love to see.

English 5 – creativity ( design your own Playmate) To bring everything we have looked at together, we thought it would be lovely for you to design and create your own toy, playmate friend. You can have a robot too if you like or you can design what you would like to have if this could be anything. We would like you to draw your playmate and label its features. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2fR9HqilmKM – here is the clip again if you need it. We will look forward to seeing your awesome designs.

Maths 5: Maths today is all about problem solving. We have collected a few different maths investigations for you to have a go at. You do not need to complete all of them you can just pick one and try it. We have given a few, so that you have some different choices. We hope you enjoy exploring different possibilities and taking on challenges. See Maths Sheet 5 for the problems

Science Sheet 4

Water Fireworks Materials:

Water Oil Food Colouring (Any colour of your choosing) 16 oz clear glass Another 16 oz clear glass A Fork

Instructions:

1. Fill the tall glass almost to the top with room-temperature water. 2. Pour 2 tablespoons of oil into the other glass. 3. Add 2 drops of food colouring to the glass with the oil. 4. Stir the oil into the food colouring using a fork. Stop once you break the food colouring into smaller drops. 5. Pour the oil and colouring mixture into the tall glass. 6. Now watch! The food colouring will slowly sink in the glass, with each droplet expanding outwards as it falls. Looks

like fireworks! Right?

How it Works: Food colouring dissolves in water, but not in oil. Therefore, when you pour in your food colouring/oil mixture the oil will float at the top of the water because it is less dense, and the food colouring will begin to dissolve once they sink through the oil and into the water.

Invisible Extinguisher

Materials:

Tall Drinking glass or 16 oz plastic cup

Short Drinking glass or 9 oz plastic cup

Tea Light

Matches or Lighter

Instructions:

1. Place tea lights in the short drinking glass 2. Using a long match or safety lighter, light the tea lights while leaving them in the glass 3. In the tall glass, pour 1/2 cup vinegar 4. Slowly sprinkle 1/2 tsp of baking soda into the tall glass containing the vinegar. You can dump it all in at once, but be

ready for a big eruption! 5. Let the reaction slow down until the foam has disappeared. 6. Slowly tilt the tall glass on its side over the tea light as if you were pouring the air over it. 7. If the flame doesn’t go out on your first try, pour another scoop of baking soda into the vinegar and repeat steps 5 & 6

How It Works:

The baking soda/vinegar reaction results in a gas called Carbon Dioxide (CO2). CO2 is denser than normal air, which means that it will sink! Because CO2 sinks, it stays in the cup instead of floating away like a normal mix of air would. This means you have a cup full of CO2!

The candle burns thanks to a combustion reaction that requires Oxygen (O2), something we find in abundance in the air around us. When you pour your cup of CO2 into the cup containing the candle, the CO2 sinks to the bottom of the cup and surrounds the candle. This displaces (or pushes up) all the normally mixed air, along with all that O2 the fire needs to burn. In addition, Voila! Your candle is extinguished

This experiment should be

completed with an adult at

home.
