So from today, all English and Maths tasks will be published only on HWB in the Google Classroom. This page will now only be used for updates and for fun/wellbeing activities!!!

I have been trying to stay active by doing yoga most days so here's a fun yoga activity for you based on Harry Potter or if you'd rather I've Included some poses below and you can make up your own story and include some of the poses.  Remember you can send photos to me on Google Classroom in the General folder! 
​Have Fun!

Choose a favourite sea creature and draw or print a picture of it in the centre of a piece of paper. Write words around it to describe how it looks and moves. Use your ideas to write sentences, using a rich vocabulary to personify their creature.  For example ‘The crab grabbed the seaweed for his lunch’ or ‘The sea worm snoozed lazily on its rocky couch.’ You can also use these  ‘missing word’ sentences as prompts. For example ‘The starfish… at the fish’ or ‘The penguin… to the pool’. You could research a range of personification poems to read for inspiration or use the ones below.

Today we will be solving calculations that are hidden in number stories.

• First, read and try and imagine the story.
• Second, note information.
• Decide what calculation to do and find the answer.
• Use the answer to answer the problem and check it makes sense.

​

For example: Sasha has scored 4214 points in a computer game. She finds six treasure chests and scores 250 points for each one. What is her new score?

• What information does the number story give us? 4214 points, six treasure chests, 250 points each. 
• What are we being asked to find out? So what calculations do we need to write? This is a two-step problem. What do we need to do first?
• First calculate 6 × 250 = 
• Now what do we need to do?   We need to add the answer to this multiplication to the number of points scored so far. Write the calculation we need to do 1500 + 4214.  Think about the method you need to use.
• So what is the answer to the problem? Does that seem sensible?

Have a go at the following word problems.

 Read James Reeves’ poem, The Sea. highlight examples of verbs used in the poem and explain what the poet thinks about the sea.  Can you identify other features of the poem, such as its rhyming structure and alliteration?


The sea is a hungry dog,
Giant and grey.
He rolls on the beach all day.
With his clashing teeth and shaggy jaws
Hour upon hour he gnaws
The rumbling, tumbling stones,
And 'Bones, bones, bones, bones! '
The giant sea-dog moans,
Licking his greasy paws.

And when the night wind roars
And the moon rocks in the stormy cloud,
He bounds to his feet and snuffs and sniffs,
Shaking his wet sides over the cliffs,
And howls and hollos long and loud.

But on quiet days in May or June,
When even the grasses on the dune
Play no more their reedy tune,
With his head between his paws
He lies on the sandy shores,
So quiet, so quiet, he scarcely snores.

James Reeves
