Something fun! Problem to solve! Project

In this hot weather, design your own

ice cream sundae or ice lolly flavour.

You don’t have to actually make it,

just draw a picture of it.

My ideal sundae would be hazelnut

ice-cream covered in chocolate sauce

hazelnut bits and topped over with a

waver!

Sudoku! To complete sudoku, you have to make sure that every box, row and column has 1 – 9 in it. The same number cannot be in the box, row or column more than once, e.g. 9 in a row twice. I have also included a sudoku where the number range is 1-4 an 1-6 to start you off if you have never tried one before!

For the next few weeks, we are going to be learning about classifying different animals as

Health & Wellbeing Sciences Questions

Physical Health This week, you can take part in a sports competition with other schools, called Virtual Games at The Hub on Wednesday 3rd June. More details can be found here: https://www.joininedinburgh.org/sports/active-schools/virtual-games/

If you are taking part, let me know which challenges you are going to do. Emotional Health Having things to look forward to can make you feel happier and improve your wellbeing. A few weeks ago, Mrs Pearston suggested making a ‘wish jar’. Get an empty, clean jar or a plastic cup. Decorate it as you wish! Each time you think of something you would like to do in the future, write it on a piece of paper and place it inside your decorated jar.

When you are able to do one of the things, you could take it out the jar!

Learn how to code! Option 1 Use one (or both) of the apps below and have a go at programming a code to move a virtual figure: Lightbot: https://lightbot.com/ Scratch: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/editor/?tutorial=getStarted There are online tutorials to help you. Thank you to Logan for recommending Lightbot! Option 2 Coding is about creating a series of instructions that a computer follows. However, you can practice without a computer.

Reading Homework Questions

Pick 3 questions from the grid below to discuss your reading with. Talk to a family member about them or to write

your answers.

Numeracy: Option 1

Learning Intention: I am learning to add tenths together within a whole.

Success Criteria:

• I can split a shape into ten equal pieces called tenths • I can explain that 10 tenths make a whole

• I can add together tenths to make a whole

This bar of chocolate has been split into 10 equal pieces.

Each piece is called a tenth, written as 1/10.

Here is a video to help you: https://youtu.be/bVeAx3zspDY

Questions

1. Draw out the chocolate bar above. How many tenths would you need to colour in to make a

whole?

2. Draw out the chocolate bar. Colour in 3 tenths, Now colour 4 tenths. How many tenths do you

have altogether?

3. Draw out the chocolate bar. Colour in 5 tenths, Now colour 1 tenths. How many tenths do you

have altogether?

4. Draw out the chocolate bar. Colour in 6 tenths, Now colour 3 tenths. How many tenths do you

have altogether?

5. 2/10 + 3/10 =

6. 5/10 + 4/10 =

7. 1 tenth + 7 tenths =

8. How many different tenths addition calculations can you think of to make a whole? Here is

one to start you off: 1/10 + 9/10 = 10/10 (1 whole)

Numeracy: Option 2

Learning Intention: I am learning to add tenths together beyond a whole.

Success Criteria:

• I can explain that a tenth is written as 1/10 as fraction and 0.1 as a decimal

• I can apply my knowledge of number bonds to 20 to solve decimal calculations

• I can use my knowledge that 10 tenths is 1 whole to solve missing number addition calculations

Get a counter or something like a ball and a ruler or measuring tape. Throw your object 3 times,

keeping note of how far your objects has travelled each time.

Add the 3 distances together. How far did it travel?

• Remember, a mm is a 1/10 of a cm so 1cm 2mm is 1.2cm

• A cm is 1/100 of a m so 1m 5cm = 1.05m; 3m 20cm = 3.2m

Numeracy: Option 3

Learning Intention: I can apply my understanding of decimals to complete number sequences

Success Criteria:

• I can write tenths as decimals, remembering that 1/10 is written as 0.1

• I can complete addition calculations using decimals

• I can apply my understanding of decimals to real-life challenges

Can you fill in the missing number of function (add, subtract, multiply or divide) to complete the

calculations below?

Project

For the next few weeks, we are going to be learning about classifying different animals as

• Birds

• Reptiles

• Amphibians

• Mammals

• Fish

Last week, we learnt to classify animals as vertebrates or invertebrates.

This week, I have created a quiz in Microsoft Teams about vertebrates and invertebrates.

You can find it by going to the Assignments section in Teams (screen shot below).

Watch this video before the quiz: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KjpGfqqvQ3E&feature=youtu.be

Find out more about invertebrates: https://www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/invertebrates/

Vertebrates

Animals can be classified as either vertebrates or invertebrates.

Vertebrates are animals that have a backbone inside their body. The major groups include fish, amphibians,

reptiles, birds and mammals.

Invertebrates don't have a backbone. They either have a soft body, like worms and jellyfish, or a hard outer

casing covering their body, like spiders and crabs.
