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.

Maths task:
I have set you a task on the mymaths website today which is about measuring lengths.
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.

As it's Friday, I have attached the answers to the very bottom of this page. Please don't look until you've finished though!
Writing task:
Today, I would like you to create a comic strip retelling Neil Armstrong's mission to the moon. Use pictures and text to tell the story of what happened.
The below link may help you find information about the event:

I would love to see these when you have finished; please send them through to me.
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 'space'.
The projects this week aim to provide opportunities for you to learn more about space. Learning may focus on our Solar System, the Sun and the Moon. It could look at life in outer space from the view of an astronaut and travelling through space.
Choose one of these projects to start this afternoon or finish yesterday's. Have a look at the bottom for an extra activity today!
● Moon Moves - For this task you should research the importance of the Moon to life on Earth. You could research the movement of the Moon relative to the Earth and create a model of the Earth, Moon and Sun. The link below might help.

● Through Space and Time- You should research space exploration history and create a timeline of how people have travelled into space. Think about when the first rocket was launched? When did the first man travel to space? How about the first woman? What other significant events can you add to your timeline?
● Connect the Dots- Can you examine the different life stages of a star, and explore the names and shapes of some famous constellations. Then you should create a poster displaying the different constellations which can be used to teach others. Try to make it as creative as possible. The link below might help.

● Dancing into Space- Have a listen to Holst’s 'The Planets' (at the below link). You should select a planet and decide what you think that planet would be like. Can you create a dance/ set of movements to go with the music which will portray this. Take a video of your dance to share with your family and have a go at self-evaluating whilst watching the video.

● Mission to Space- Can you research the different components of a spacecraft and using your understanding of this, design your own spacecraft. Think carefully about what it needs to include in order for astronauts to survive in space. Can you make a small scale model using resources from around the home? There might be inspiration at the below link:

An extra Friday activity...
Mission X – Building a Bionic Hand
● It is difficult and tiring for humans to work in space. Bionic hands that can be remotely operated can help humans work more efficiently in space. Try making a model bionic hand using cardboard, straws, string and elastic bands. You will need to think about how a human hand works to help you with your design. You can find out more here.
