Numeracy – Place Value

Now we are in our final term, we will begin our revision sessions for maths, where we look back at topics from earlier in the year. Practice makes perfect! For today, we will be looking at rounding numbers to the nearest 10,100 and 1000. Why would we ever need to round? Think about estimation.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zh8dmp3/articles/zpx2qty Use this link to introduce rounding to the nearest 10, 100 and 1000. What is going to be your method? How do you know whether to round up or down?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7o4cG_XcdG4 Watch and learn the method for rounding.

https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/rocket-rounding Play this game to round to the nearest 10 and 100. As a challenge, can you round the decimal numbers? Use the number line to help you find the nearest 10/100, whichever your number is closest to, is the correct answer!

http://www.snappymaths.com/counting/rounding/interactive/miscrounding/miscrounding.htm Now, have a go at rounding to the nearest 10, 100 and 1000! Can you beat your own time?

Literacy - PoetryThis week we will be looking at Choral performance within poetry. What do you think we will learn about during this topic? What do you already know about poems, list some features you know so far about what you commonly see within poetry. Think about the performance, the type of language, the themes involved and the structure.

https://images.scholastic.co.uk/assets/a/5b/10/frozen-man-poem-213695.pdf Have a read of ‘The Frozen Man’.

http://www.homeofbob.com/literature/genre/poetry/elements Briefly remind yourself of some of the features of a poem.

What is the writer trying to say in the poem and why may the poem have been written? Your answer will be personal to you as each person interprets poems differently, however, as long as you can providence evidence to back up your answer, you can ensure it is correct. For example, you could say that The Frozen Man might be about someone the writer had seen on a very cold night or might have come from his own experiences. I think this because of the detail the poet goes into about the snug house. What do you notice about the layout and organisation of the poem e.g. patterns, rhyme, repetition, verses? What about the language features of the poem.-What images are conjured in your mind as you read the poem? What powerful language can you find to back this up?

http://www.potw.org/archive/potw193.html https://poets.org/poem/cold-morning

Read ‘I saw a Peacock’ and ‘Cold Morning’ too. Your task is to draw and complete the grid below, finding evidence for each section of your grid. What similarities do you notice between all 3 poems?

Numeracy – Place value

First, watch this to learn how we recognise numbers up to 100,000. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kqz-8C8S-ZY

http://www.snappymaths.com/counting/rounding/interactive/miscrounding2/miscrounding2.htm Now, have a go at all 5! Rounding to the nearest 10, 100, 1000, 10000 and 100000! Can you beat your own time?

As a challenge, round these numbers over a million to the nearest 100,000. Think about your method, find the number in the hundred thousandth column first, decide whether to round up or down and then replace all numbers appropriately. https://www.aaamath.com/g41e_rx1.htm Scroll down to find the ‘practice’ mode.

Literacy

Today you are going to rehearse and perform a poem at home!

To begin with, https://performapoem.lgfl.org.uk/public/poems/rosen_poem_activities.pdf have a look at ‘I opened a book’ by Michael Rosen. What language and structural features do you see from the ones you found yesterday?

When rehearsing a poem, the most difficult part is remembering the lines. It is important to know that there are many strategies you can use to help memorise the poem e.g. repetition, breaking down syllables, making illustrations, copy lines, creating an image in your mind, actions to match what they are saying etc. Try ones that suit you best in this lesson.

We then have to actually perform it and provide the emotional impact the poem is trying to convey. This the poet himself on how best to perform poems https://www.penguin.co.uk/articles/children/2017/michael-rosen-s-top-tips-for-performing-poems-and-stories/ What will be the top tips you will be using?

https://vimeo.com/162518913 Now, watch Michael Rosen performing his own poem, which top tips did he follow? What did you notice about his tone of voice, and how did it connect to the ‘feeling’ of the poem. In order to answer these questions, you will have to think deeply about why the poem was written in the first place and how it wants the readers to feel.

Your task, pick one of these 3 poems from yesterday, memorise, rehearse and perform this poem at home either alone or to family members! Look back at your grid to remind yourself of the features in the poem and why it was written, to help guide your performance. Are you going to add your own creative flair? Are you going to pause and let the readers mind flow at any point? How will you vary your tone of voice to keep everyone engaged?

History

Today, we’re going to understand how the Mayan society was organised. What do you already know about how Maya society was organised, both in physical and human geographic terms? For help with this, what do you know about where the Mayans were based, and the types of architecture they built?

Introduction:Ancient Maya was split into several different city-states. Each city-state controlled a certain amount of land around its city. The city-states shared a religion, a language and a culture, but they also competed with each other. Although the city-states traded with each other, they also spent a large amount of time at war with each other. The rulers of each city-state wanted to be the most powerful, the richest, to have the largest temples and so on.

https://mayas.mrdonn.org/socialstructure.html This briefly introduces the class system in place and how the empire was organised.

https://mayas.mrdonn.org/farmers.html For an explanation of the farmers that were free men, using slaves to complete their tasks.

Your task is to draw out a Venn diagram and to insert the sentences into the correct place. Once you’ve inserted the sentences correctly, you can draw out the different classes of people, highlighting the different lives they lived from one another.

What is a Venn diagram? When do we use a Venn diagram? How do we use a Venn diagram?

Things to remember:• items that are common to both groups of people go in the overlapping section• items that only apply to the one group of people go in the relevant section • items that belong to neither group of people go outside the diagram

Numeracy

Today you are going to try something different by using your knowledge of rounding. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kqz-8C8S-ZY Create a place value grid like as you see in this video, on any piece of paper, the bigger the better (you could even combine multiple sheets of paper side by side). Now, the tricky part, find different items in your house to represent the different columns. In school, we would use coloured counters but at home you could use different coins, coloured crayons or anything else in which you have plenty of, get creative! With these different items, place them randomly on your grid, and your task is to write down the number you have created and read it out loud. As a challenge, write down the number in words after you have said it aloud.

What do you find trickiest, when there are zeros, or when you are using larger numbers? Now test yourself by practicing these!

Literacy

Today we will focus on the same poem from yesterday’s lesson and adapt it to create our own version. The poem must follow the same structure and the changes must be suitable and effective. You will then perform your adapted version.

https://images.scholastic.co.uk/assets/a/5b/10/frozen-man-poem-213695.pdf Remind yourself of ‘Frozen Man’.

If we look at the first verse, we see that Kit Wright is introducing the setting, however I’m going to adapt it to fit where I live: a city. He also introduces something in that city, in this case, the ‘black trees’, so I need to think about how I’m going to adapt that for my inner-city setting. Now looking at features, he uses preposition and an adjective to describe the noun so I’m going to keep that as I don’t need to change everything. I have now changed ‘Out at the edge of town where black trees’ to ‘Deep in the sprawling city where towering buildings’. Use my setting to carry this on to the second verse, where you will want to change the language but perhaps keep the personification in. Once you’ve had a go and you are happy, you can either carry this on to adapt the entire poem, or restart it and create your own setting/theme.

Remember that not everything has to stay the same, you are adapting, which means you are changing it slightly to suit what you want to create. You can keep language, features and structure the same, or change some of them entirely, it is up to you.

Now it’s time to perform your adapted poem, have you given it a title? https://www.penguin.co.uk/articles/children/2017/michael-rosen-s-top-tips-for-performing-poems-and-stories/ Watch this to remind yourself of how best to perform a poem. What will be the top tips you will be using?

PSHE – needs and wants

Continuing talking about money and the spending of it, we need to understand the difference between what we need in life, and what we want in life, as they are two separate things. Thinking time – what item would you like to be able to buy, say it out loud! Now, do you really NEED this item, or is it just something you want and desire? How do we know the difference? Needs are necessities or the things essential to health and well-being; wants are luxuries or things you don’t need to live but are just nice to have. https://www.myfloridacfo.com/mymoney/games/needs-vs-wants-game.html Show your understanding by deciding which are needs, and which are wants.

Plenary: why is it important to think about needs and wants when managing money?

RE

What is our key question for this topic? It is ‘What is the best way for a Hindu to show commitment to God?’

Today we are going to explore Hindus way of life. What do we mean by ‘way of life’? Hindus are given guidance as to how to live their lives through the Vedas which are the oldest religious texts in Hinduism and are the law. Most beliefs, concepts and ceremonies are based on information contained in the Vedas. They cover various subjects from nature to everyday life and behaviour. To cover the Hindu way of life and their commitment to God, we are going to learn about their four goals (named the purusharthas):

Dharma (teaching) – the code for leading one’s life Moksha – the release of the soul from the cycle of rebirth Artha – the pursuit of material gain by lawful means Karma – through pure acts, knowledge and devotion, you can reincarnate to a higher level. The opposite

achieves the contrary result.

Today we will focus on the goal ‘Dharma’ (teaching) which is the code for leading one’s life. https://wiki.kidzsearch.com/wiki/Dharma#:~:text=In%20Hinduism%2C%20dharma%20is%20the,to%20be%20a%20good%20student.&text=Hindus%20believe%20that%20following%20dharma,and%20life%20is%20most%20rewarding. Read what is below the subheading ‘In Hinduism’.

Your task is to create a poster explaining what Dharma means within Hinduism, and draw examples of Hindus following Dharma. E.g. respect for elders is considered important and many consider marriage as a religious duty. Think about how you could illustrate this in a meaningful and expressive poster? Focus on the small bits of information first, but keep it brief as it needs to be engaging to look at. Add a border influenced by Hindu scriptures; get creative with your coloured pictures and patterns! Below are some examples of designs you can use based on Hinduism:

Numeracy – Negative numbers

Although we don’t call them it, the ‘normal’ numbers we use daily are in fact called positive numbers. So what are negative numbers? https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/znwj6sg/articles/zxthnbk#:~:text=Negative%20numbers%20are%20less%20than,is%20neither%20positive%20nor%20negative. Use this link to introduce negative numbers. Where do we use negative numbers in everyday life?

Remember – Ascending order is when you start at the bottom and go up the stairs. Descending is when you start at the top and are heading down the stairs. https://www.topmarks.co.uk/Flash.aspx?a=activity04 Help defeat the robots using your knowledge of negative numbers!

https://mathsframe.co.uk/en/resources/resource/37/placing_numbers_on_a_number_line Use this game to test your negative number knowledge! You need to click on ‘-500 to 500’ and have a go, you can practice by playing without points first. The number right in the middle of the number line represents 0 as it is directly halfway between -500 and 500.

Literacy Today you are going to plan your own poem in the style of ‘A house awake’

Read the poem to remind yourself of the features you can identify. What are the language and structural features you can see? The most clear feature that can be seen is figurative language, specifically personification. This is evident as the house itself shares human characteristics. Draw the table below on a sheet of paper. We are going to be looking at everyday objects we use at home and breaking it down, eventually forming a phrase showing personification. For example: Object/event – curtain, Adjective – silk, Verb – open, adverb – slowly, prepositional phrase (highlighting where something is/when something takes place) – behind the comfortable sofa, and finally coming up with personification – silk curtains open their eyes. Complete the table using this example.

SPaGThis week is your SPaG assessment week, which means you will be revising all the words you have looked at in the past 5 weeks, to consolidate your spellings. Each day you will be completing a spelling quiz before the assessment on Friday.

Science - Forces

In our final topic of the year, we will study forces! To begin with, it is good to start with an introduction to understand what you know now, in order to see how far you will go in the end!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XAJUzs46nJQ Watch this for an overview of the different types of forces

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zvpp34j/articles/zywcrdm After, read through this brief explanation of what forces are.

Complete the activity at the bottom, and then write down why one arrow was bigger than the other. How can you link this to forces, and what are the forces called? Make sure to answer these questions in your explanation. Use this word bank to form the main parts of your explanation:

Force Push Pull Equal Unequal Opposite Direction

Numeracy – Sequencing

As it is Friday, you will use all the knowledge you’ve learned this week on time to sequence using your knowledge of place value. https://mathsframe.co.uk/en/resources/resource/42/sequences You must complete levels 3, 6, 7, 13 and 16. You can choose the difficulty setting that suits you the best, but remember to challenge yourself. How high can you go?

Literacy

Today you will be writing your poem in the style of ‘A House Awake’ using your plan from yesterday. You will need to use these ideas to write a poem about your morning routine in the style of the poem mentioned. Firstly, look at your plan and up-level your personification by including full sentences. This way, you can just insert them directly into your poem. Then decide the structure of your poem. How many verses? Will you use a rhyming couplet every line or on every other line? To begin with the first verse, you need to decide which object you will describe to do with your morning routine. I’m going to continue with my example of ‘curtain’ from yesterday and how I’m going to implement it using my plan. In my plan it is simply ‘silk curtains open their eyes’, however I have to now put that into a poetic verse.

After morning sunriseThe curtains open their eyesInviting the rays to come and see

Me trying on my brand new tee

Practice editing this verse by adding co-ordinating conjunctions to link the lines together and create a flow and rhythm. E.g. The fluffy pillows jump up and down but the bed is still asleep.

Then, have a go at writing your full poem, using your plan but thinking about your structure, rhyming couplets and personification. Now for the fun part, when you are happy with it, you can perform your poem using the top tips you’ve learned from Michael Rosen.

SPaG Today you will be completing your SPaG assessment that you have been working towards all week. In order to complete this, somebody else at home will have to read out the words in the link. If this is not possible, then you can complete it by treating it as a LCWC activity.
