Good Morning Class 4
Morning everyone! It's Friday again!
I hope you've all had a good week?
I have put a 'spot the difference' on here for a bit of fun this morning. There are 8 differences...can you find them all?
Here are the answers from your maths sheets yesterday:
-Year 5 Maths 10 answers.docx-
-Year 6 Maths 10 answers.docx-
Remember that if you would like to send me examples of your work, or simply want to tell/ ask me something then you can use the class email address: class4@gfschools.co.uk. I'd love to hear from you.
These are your tasks for today. Remember, you can do the tasks in any order, and you don't have to do everything if you don't have time.
PE:
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!

Maths task:
I have set you a task on the mymaths website today which is about units of mass.
Remember to go through the lesson first and then have a go at the activities. If you find it difficult, you can go back to the lesson, and you can have as many goes as you like at the activity.
Please login using your details to complete the activity. You can follow the below link:

Spelling task:
I have attached a spelling crossword for you to do today. It gives you the first letter of each word you are looking for, and there are also clues to help you work it out. All the words you are looking for are from Year 5 and 6 spellings; the common exception word list in particular.

Writing task:
For your writing task today, I would like you to write a descriptive piece. Think about the new mode of transport that you have designed and then written about this week. I would like you to imagine what it is like to be on board. What would you see? What would you hear? How would you feel?
I would like you to describe a journey on board your mode of transport, paying particular attention to the senses. Remember to include figurative language to describe as that will engage the reader.
Reading task:
Nothing has changed here...I would still like you to read for 30 minutes! Ideally, I would like you to read your school reading book or a book that is similar in difficulty. However, if you choose to read something else then that's ok too. As long as you're reading, I'm happy!
Learning project:
The focus for this week's project is 'transport'.
The projects this week aim to provide opportunities for you to learn more about transport. Learning may focus on modes of transport, transport in the past, the science behind transport, road safety and how to be safe around water.
Choose one of these projects to finish this afternoon.
● Is it a Bird? Is it a Plane?- I would like you to choose a major city from each continent and look at the population’s primary mode of public transport, e.g. rickshaws and Skytrain in Bangkok, Asia, the Tube in London, Europe etc. Then can you create a fact-sheet showing each city’s most popular mode of transport and decide which is your favourite, providing reasons for your opinions.
● Creativity in the Underground- Many of the London Underground tube stations have their own unique, tiled designs. Can you think of your own London Underground tube station name, and create a tile design to accompany it. You could simply draw the design using crayons, felt tips or paint. Alternatively, you may choose to represent the design in the form of a collage, cutting out your own tiles of paper, newspaper, magazines, cardboard, or whatever you have access to at home. There are some examples at the link below.

● From Horse-Drawn Cart to Jumbo Jet- I would like you to select 10 modes of transport from throughout history, using the below link to help you. I'd like you to research the modes of transport and present them on a timeline, writing a description for each one, explaining what it was and who would have used it - bonus points for including the inventors!

● Faster Than a Speeding Bullet...Train- The Shanghai Maglev, also known as Shanghai Transrapid, is currently the fastest train in the world, running between Shanghai and Beijing in China. Can you be just as speedy and complete the following 5 activities as fast as possible: Star jumps, tuck jumps, press-ups, squats and lunges. Record how many repetitions of each activity you can perform in 1 minute. Can you beat your personal best? Can you record your heart rate (beats per minute) after each activity.
● Make and Do - Make it Go!- Have a go at this hover balloon activity.
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Wormmv1fghIGVtBWyM_bgK8Dw1Mu_CzGLEDI67qHCvw/edit
You will need the following equipment: CD, bottle top with push/pull closure, like those on some sports drinks or water bottles, blu-tack or glue and a balloon.
Alternatively, you could have a go at creating a baking powder powered boat.

You will need the following equipment: empty water bottle, baking powder, kitchen roll or tissue, scissors, straw, vinegar, sellotape.
If you don’t have access to this equipment, you can watch and read about the experiments and can discuss with your favourite, providing reasons for your opinions.
Have a super day, and a great weekend.
