Kingfishers Home Learning 27th April

Date: 27th Apr 2020 @ 8:46am

Good morning everyone, I hope you have enjoyed the sunshine again this weekend. You worked really hard last week and we had some great engagement levels. I am really enjoying logging on and seeing the effort you are putting into maintaining your learning during a new and unusual time. You have taken it all in your stride (and parents too!).

Todays tasks are as follows:

1) Read Theory - minimum x2 (approx 30mins)

2) Times tables rockstars (approx 20 mins)

3) LBQ code - zdg

Watch the videos below before hand.

English input - https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zwwp8mn/articles/zsrt4qt

Maths input - https://www.khanacademy.org/math/geometry/hs-geo-foundations/hs-geo-area/v/perimeter-and-area-basics

Heres one of my examples below - if it is a compound shape like this, yopu need to break the shape down into two seperate quadrilaterals and then find their area individually. Then you add them together to find the area of whole shape. Don't forget to add your 'squared' symbol (²) at the end opf your answer.

4) New writing task on SeeSaw - Thanks to those who submitted their writing on SeeSaw on Friday, I really appreciate your hard work. I will feedback to everyone individually today on SeeSaw. Here is Layton's letter below (I will post more in an individual blog later).

 Under half of the class submitted a piece of writing last week so it's important that we try and improve on that from now on. The task has been set on SeeSaw with a day by day checklist. DO NOT COMPLETE IT ALL ON THE FIRST DAY.  

Today I would just reccomend to look at the 3 examples I have attached on Seesaw, look for any key vocabulary or features that you like and make a note of them. You could use an online thesaurus to make a word bank of key words that you could include in your letter.

5) Afternoon topic web work - Again, I've been really impressed with the afternoon work submissions on SeeSaw, I will feedback today and post some work on the blog. Here are some themed paintings by Maisie and Neve.

6) Spellings -  I will attach this weeks spellings onto SeeSaw, you have until Friday to practice them. You can then test yourselves and upload your test onto SeeSaw.
