Friday 3rd April

Yay it’s Friday and its the Easter Holidays. I won’t be posting any work now until Monday 20th April.

Over the holiday it would be really beneficial to keep reading regularly and to practise your times tables using TTRS.

Maths

This graph shows the difference in price between buying an Easter egg and the chocolate bar/ pouch of the same amount of chocolate.

Amazing how much you can save by buying an Easter egg compared to usual chocolates when compared in grams.

Try answering these questions:

What scale is being used on the y-axis?

How much do you save on each product?

Can you put the chocolates in order from most money saved to least money saved?

If you bought every egg as opposed to buying the alternative, how much in total would you save?

What other questions could you ask about this graph?

English

spellings

Could you get someone in your house to test you on your spellings from this week.

Relative clauses

A relative clause is a specific type of subordinate clause that adapts, describes or modifies a noun.

Relative clauses add information to sentences by using a relative pronoun such as who, that or which.

The relative clause is used to add information about the noun, so it must be ‘related’ to the noun.

Here are some examples of relative clauses (in purple):

Write 10 sentences that include a relative clause. I have put some pictures below that you could choose to write about.

Take care and I’ll post again after the Easter break!

Maths

Have a go at the challenge below

There are three dice, each of them with faces labelled from 1 to 6.

When the dice are rolled they can be combined in six different ways to make a number less than 10 with two decimal places.

For example, if I roll a 2, a 3 and a 6, I can combine them to make 2.36, 2.63, 3.26, 3.62, 6.23 or 6.32.

Now round each of these numbers to the nearest whole number:
2.36 rounds to 2,

2.63 rounds to 3,

3.26 rounds to 3,

3.62 rounds to 4,

6.23 rounds to 6 and

6.32 rounds to 6.

Repeat for other rolls of the dice.

Can each of the six numbers round to the same whole number?
Can each of the six numbers round to a different whole number?

Can you spot any patterns?

If you need some dice there are some online ones here https://www.random.org/dice/?num=3

English

Spellings

Try to use each of the spelling words in a sentence.

Editing

I have had a go at writing a description but I have made a lot of mistakes. Can you have a look and see if you can edit it for me?

You might need to write it out again.

Bonus point: Can you spot where I have used a fronted adverbial, a simile and some personification?

steel/ steal

weary/ wary 

who’s/ whose 

their/ there/ they’re

restaurant

 rhyme

Apostrophes

Apostrophes can be used for contraction (joining two words together) eg did not- didn’t

 or possession (when something belongs to somebody or something)- Miss Clark’s shoes are pink!

This video shows how apostrophes work for possession- https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zvwwxnb/articles/zx9ydxs

Practise using the apostrophe for possession. Think about who owns what in each sentence.

1) Peters shoes were dirty after the walk through the forest.

2) The policemans jacket was bright yellow.

3) The telephones ring echoed in the empty hallway.

4) The sunflowers leaves were starting to wilt. (more than one sunflower)

5) Miss Clarks bag was full of useful things.

6) The wardrobes doors were clinging on to the hinges.

7) The dentists office was full of people with toothache.

8) West Hams captain scored the winning goal.

9) The childrens school dinners were delicious.

10) Hundreds of people packed in to the hall to hear the Mayors speech.

Extension-Write 10 sentences that use a possessive apostrophe – can you include plural nouns as well?

Tree- mendous Writing

This morning in Fox Class, we enjoyed the sunshine and went to read our work out loud to the trees! We took our red editing pens and it helped us to notice any errors that we had made in our writing. We really liked spending time outside and the trees enjoyed our stories too!
