Good morning class 4 
Now a lot of us have pets and I've seen them do some pretty cool tricks. Dogs seem to be the smartest with their ability to sit, roll over, fetch and do paw etc. Cats, do they do anything interesting other than scratch you and bring back dead creatures? But here is something I've never seen before. Thomas' horse ,Harley, has been trained to sit; how good is that? Do any of your pets do anything interesting? Have they got any skills?

Have a look at the below link. There are lots of ideas for different PE type activities that you could do at home; give one a go! There's a link to Joe Wicks or our Real PE units

Maths
Group 1 please find page 2 in your packs 'Space Landing'. You can see a number in the centre of three boxes. What you need to do is think about how much you would need to add to that number to make it the next whole number. And on the other side, how much you'd need to subtract to make it a whole number.
So,
The number 4.3 is in between 4 and 5. What would I need to subtract to make it 4?
I'd need to subtract 0.3
What would I need to add to make it 5?
I'd need to add 0.7.
What about if it was 3.27?
That's between 3 and 4.
I'd have to subtract 0.27 to make it 3
But to make it 4 what would I need to add on?
Be careful with these because a lot of people often add too much. For example they'd say 0.83. But I'd suggest adding onto the hundredths first so + 0.03, which make 3.3 and then adding the rest which would be 0.7.
So you'd need to add 0.73 altogether.
Complete the sheet.
Afterwards you can check with a calculator after each one to see if you were correct.
Group 2
You have some number puzzles to do. They are reasoning and trial and error puzzles so you'll need to watch my video below. We'll be working on page 2 in your books coumn B

Firstly, copy out today's spellings. Make sure you do so with joined handwriting and keep it neat and tidy.
Yesterday we were looking at why apostrophes are used and completed a sheet where we needed to find where all 19 went.
Today we're going to focus further on the two reasons for using apostrophes. Remember we don't need to use them just because the word ends in an S
I have been growing lot's of plant's from seed's thi's year. Not one of those apostrophes were needed.
Remember the two reasons we use them is to show possession: Sarah's friend. Mum's car. John's bike.
And to show a missing letter (sometimes called 'omisssion' - which means to miss something out) like don't, can't, we'll etc.
Today your task is to read page 16. The apostrophes have been added for you. All you need to do is place them in the correct box. Was the apostrophe used to show possession or was it there to show letters were omitted (missed out)
That's it. Easy today. Although a REALLY cool game you could play, forget Fortnite or Minecraft is... pin the apostrophe on the contraction. Much more educational. See picture.
Reading comprehension.
Last week I asked you to complete 'The Thrill of War Time work' which was on an A3 sheet of paper. Today I want you to do the other side. It's called 'The Ration book Olympics'
Read the questions carefully and answer the questions on the right hand side.
Geography
Let's brush up on our geography knowledge.
The world is made up of many countries. Large areas of land which include several countries are called.... continents. How many continents do you know of?
There's 7. Do you know them all?
There's: Africa, Europe, Asia, North America, South American, Australasia and Antarctica
The world is made up of land and water. But mostly water. How much of the Earth's surface do you think is covered by water? Half? more than half?
It's actually around 71%
Seas are smaller areas of land but do you know the word for a large amount of water that's more than a sea?
It's called an Ocean.
There's 5 of them: Atlantic, Pacific, Indian, Arctic and Southern
Download and print (if you can) this map. Label the continents and label the 5 oceans. If you don't know Google maps or an Atlas is great place to start.

Then afterwards you could take this quiz. It's actually quiet hard. Year 6s ought to know the mountain ranges because we did them last year but the Rivers are quiet tough. We would have been doing rivers as our topic next halfterm. See how you get on.

Note - a few people are saying the above website is asking for a login which is odd as on mine it does not - I don't have a login either. If it's not working perhaps try clicking on this https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zk3nscw and scrolling to the bottom 'activity 3' and clicking it there. That's how I found it.
That's it for today.
