Good morning, Class 5. I forgot to tell you, this weekend I got to see my grandma from a distance in her garden. It was so lovely! Also, because I live alone, I was allowed to join up with another 'bubble', which was my parents. So I got my first hug in 13 weeks this weekend! It was strange to be in someone else's house!
I hope you had a good day with Mr. C. Here are the answers to Monday's questions.
1.) Why does this sentence need a comma? Suddenly, a frog emerged from the pond. Because it is after a fronted adverbial.
2.) What is the apostrophe showing here? Possession or omission? I shouldn't be eating more cake. Omission
3.) How many determiners? I grabbed his hand and we jumped into the pool from that diving board. 3
4.) Where is the modal verb? We must check our work for spelling errors.
5.) Add the inverted commas to show direct speech. "Thanks, Amy!" beamed Annie when she received her present.
6.) Where is the auxiliary verb? I have eaten already.
7.) Add a comma to make this 3 objects. I have bought plastic sheets, paint brushes and paint.
8.) Where is the reflexive pronoun? You need to take care of yourself when you are away.
1.) If Angela cycles 1/4 of a mile for 5 days and Tommy cycles 1/12 of a mile for 7 days, who has travelled the furthest? Hint: think back to last week's maths.
You need to change Angela's 1/4 to twelfths. So Angela cycles 3/12 of a mile for 5 days, which is 15/12 or 1 and 3/12. Tommy cycles 7/12 over the 7 days. So Angela has travelled the furthest.
2.) 4 and 3/4 X 6 28 and 2/4 (or 28 and 1/2)
3.) 25% of 16 4
4.) 599 X 36 21,564
5.) 0.678 + 1/1000 0.679
6.) Name all the factors of 64. 1 and 64 2 and 32 4 and 16 8
7.) 7000 X 30 210,000
8.) 0.084 X 100 8.4
9.) 6.984 X 3 20.952
10.) 3/5 of 55 33
Reading
I have put the next chapter of A Bridge on Fire on PurpleMash, along with some questions for you.
English
Today, we are going to be helping each other with a special piece of writing, which we will write tomorrow.
We are going to be writing a 'what if' piece of writing. This is where we think about what would happen if something else did.
So, it could be ... 'What if your pet dog could talk?' or 'What if everyone knew what you were thinking?'.
Today, I want you to think of 5 what if questions. Send them in to me, and I will choose my favourites. Then, tomorrow, you can write a 'what if' piece of writing. This piece of writing will need to be 3 paragraphs long, and you need to think about what your life would be like if the situation happened.
Here are your daily grammar questions:
1.) Why is a comma needed? I would come to the park, but it is too late.
2.) What is the apostrophe showing here? Possession or omission? The cats' food was all over the kitchen.
3.) How many determiners? This writing is really neat, but that pencil definitely needs sharpening!
4.) Where is the modal verb? They have eaten already, but they could have some dessert.
5.) Add ALL the punctuation needed to show direct speech. The librarian stormed over and whispered if you continue to talk, you will be asked to leave
6.) Where is the auxiliary verb? It has already left the station.
7.) Where would the semi-colon go? I need to finish this work tonight it is due in tomorrow.
8.) Where is the reflexive pronoun? She hasn't done it to herself.
Maths
I'm going to try something a bit different today. Have a look at this task below:
Barcodes
The digits in 13 number barcodes have the following meanings.
The first two digits indicate the country.
The next five digits indicate the manufacturer.
The next five digits indicate the product.
The final digit is called the ‘check digit’ and it is included to confirm that the number has been scanned correctly.
The check digit of a barcode, which is the thirteenth digit, is calculated as follows:
Split the previous twelve digits into two sets: those in odd place order (i.e. the first, third, fifth, etc. digit) and those in even place order. These are referred to below as ‘odd’ and ‘even’ digits.
Calculate the following:
(the sum of the ‘odd’ digits) + (3 × the sum of the ‘even’ digits).
The final check digit is the smallest number you need to add to the result to get a multiple of ten.
Find some things with a barcode. Make sure the check digit is correct.
I found this online, Class 5, and it worked for the two items I tried! You just need to read the instructions carefully.
Remember, I found this online, so it might not work for everything. But it is a pretty good experiment to try out.
Once you have tested out a few things from your cupboards to see if this works, let me know how it goes! My main piece of advice is don't be put off be the instructions sounding complex, they really aren't that bad!
Here are your 10 questions:
1.) If I leave the house at 6:45am and arrive at work at 7:34am, how long has my journey been?
2.) 6 and 4/5 X 3
3.) 50% of 60
4.) 683 X 36
5.) 0.989 + 1/1000
6.) Name all the factors of 50
7.) 8000 X 90
8.) 0.995 X 1000
9.) 9.367 X 5
10.) 6/7 of 63
Art/History
Last week, you did some research on the painter, Holbein. You should've realised that he was a famous painter who painted monarchs such as Henry VIII.
Today, I have this task for you. I have got a copy of one of his most famous portraits of Henry VIII. In fact, it is one of the most famous portraits of any monarch ever! I have covered half of it. Today, you are going to sketch out the other half of it. You are not colouring it in today, just sketching with a pencil. As we build up our skills throughout this week and next, there will be chance for you to do things in colour.
So, today, just sketch the other half of this portrait. It doesn't matter if you don't know what the other half looks like, just use the half you can see to help you. Don't worry about the background. Please take your time with this, it is an important observational skill.
I have attached a link for the picture as well, in case the picture is hard to print.
PE
I have heard that this is the last full week of Joe Wicks before he goes to Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays. So, why not have a try at today's exercise, for old time's sake? Bless him, he needs a break after 13 weeks of live workouts every morning!
