Isolation Activities This Week

Let's head out of this world with our new topic on Space!  Read through the information below and have a go at writing your own mnemonic to help you remember the order of the planets.

Let’s get creative using Google Docs or Powerpoint to create Vector Drawings!  The video lesson at the link below will talk you though the initial skills that you need.  If you want to use Google Docs, then you can access the drawing program online through the link at the bottom.  If you have access to Powerpoint and would prefer to use this then you’ll find the shape tools by clicking Insert and then Shapes. 

The answers to today's balancing act!

**Apologies to anyone who was confused by the work posted below.  I've uploaded an example with a description of what to do to work out the missing number.  I hope that this is helpful!  Mr M

Today's maths challenge involves some balancing equations and working out the missing value using addition and subtraction.

Remember that the two calculations either side of the = sign need to be equal (think of it like a set of old fashioned weighing scales - both sides need to balance).

Choose one of the pages to complete.

Here are the poems that the children will be recorded performing for our Christmas video.  We will also be singing Step Into Christmas along with 5F.

Each child's verse has been assigned and it is hopefully clear what they have to learn!

When we are back in school, we shall video the performances.

Get up and get funky with this fun dance routine!

If you like it then try the harder version: Level 2.  There is a link on the BBC website.

This week's science is an investigation into mixtures and exploring whether different solids dissolve in water.

Here is today's maths activity for home learning.  Use the inverse operation** to figure out the answers to the calculations. Remember to show your working.

**Remember that the inverse is the opposite operation - adding is the opposite to subtracting and vice versa.

If you finish quickly, check out the extension task.  Find the missing number for each domino and rearrange them so that the inverse calculations are next to each other in a complete loop

E. g.   250 + 50 = 300 would be next to 300 - 250 = 50

You'll find the answers to the first part of the Maths Steps calculations here. 

Use your addition and subtraction skills to solve these problems.
