Good morning class 4 
I enjoyed doing your planets database yesterday; well done to those who did it. Quite a few haven't got around to it so perhaps this could be your afternoon task. I also joined in with the live history lesson and well done to Michael and Joseph on getting your question read aloud. Good question.
So they weren't sure if Harold was shot in the eye with an arrow so I'm going to stick with that theory.

Maths
Today we're going to be looking at time and using time tables. Time tables are used to show when things are happening, like TV programme listings, Bus services, Train stations etc.
On today's sheet page 23 for group 1 and page 25 for group 2, you should find a sheet saying 'Tide Times'
When you go to the seaside often people will check out the tide times for the day. You can't lounge around on the beach if the tide is in as there will be no beach - it'll be underwater!
The tide is controlled by the moon! The moon's gravitational pull, pulls the water around the planet causing the sea to go out and go in. There's a video clip explaining this further if you're interested https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3RdkXs8BibE.
Anyway, you can see there are 4 time tables to show the 2 high tides and low tides each day from Monday - Thursday.
High tide means when the sea is right up to the shore. So if I was at the beach on a Monday the tide is at it's lowest at 6:32am. That's a little early to be at the beach don't you think? But it gradually is getting higher, reaching the highest point at 12:48pm. So I'll either have to get up early or wait until later in the afternoon.
Your task today is to calculate the time difference using the time table.
Question one says 'What is the difference between the FIRST hightide and the FIRST low tide'
So for Monday the first high tide is at 00:16 and first low tide is 06:32.
To calculate the time difference I'd strongly suggest you use a number line. It doesn't work writing in column method because time is out of 60 minutes. See my example.
I'm not around to nag you about using a ruler to draw your lines but I am there in spirit so use a ruler and keep it neat.

Once you've got to number 4, you should have realised something about your answers. When you have realised that, you'll be able to use that fact to work Friday's time table for the day if you have the ending time, which you do; it's 23:20. So the three tides that come before it will all be ??:?? away from it.
You don't have to do the Saturday/Sunday bit at the bottom but you can if you want.

Firstly, don't forget to copy out today's spellings; it's spellings test day tomorrow.
Warm up. Can you remember what a semi-colon is? You use them between two main clauses which make sense alone. There are NO conjunctions in it. Here's some.
Dizzy always has to sit on the floor; her dogs hog the sofa.
Thomas can't wait for the football season to restart; he can watch Leeds be promoted.
Alice locked Jack outside for a few hours; she needed some peace and quiet.
You get the idea, both clauses make sense alone. Conjunctions are used to extend the original clause like Bea insisted upon going to bed early so she could begin her home schooling bright and early.
Log onto Purple mash and select https://www.purplemash.com/#tab/blank_writing_templates
'Blank leaflet' if it's not there search for it.
Write 3 semi-colon sentences. They can be about anything, silly or sane but they do need to make sense!
I'll log on this evening to check.
When you've done that I'd like you to do the sorting table on page 14 in your English packs. I hope you haven't forgotten what determiners and prepositions are... but just in case:
Preposistions tell you where something is. near, over, besides
Determiners introduce nouns 'The hairy dog' Some noisy cats'

Afternoon activity.
I've receieved some images of the miniature gardens you're creating. They're looking great. I love how Richard's found room for his sheep in his and the little fence posts are a good idea but what I really love is the dry-stone walling! How clever!
Meghan's is a working progress because she's actually planted seeds in it so it will literally be a miniature garden. Keep us posted on the progress
And finally (princess) Beatrice went all regal for hers and produced an elegant tea-party inspired design. Using lots of royal blue.
As always, good effort and thank you for sending in your images. If you haven't finished yours perhaps use this afternoon to do so. I'll be setting a new afternoon activity tomorrow.
That's all (sadly) for today.
Mr Breckon
