Good morning everyone! Remember to keep sending us your questions about high school. 

Star of the Day – Chikae

Chikae, you continue to work extremely hard at school and have produced some outstanding work this week. Well done!

Morning Activity

Start your morning with Joe Wickes today – have you improved since we first started PE with Joe? Why not also watch Newsround and find out what’s going on in the world?

Reading

For reading today we would like you to read the comprehension text ‘City Life, Countryside Living’. Click here to open the text. Make sure that you underline any tricky words and try to use the context to work out what they mean.

Once you have read the text, click here to answer a range of retrieval, inference and comprehension questions.

Maths

Warm up with a fun interactive game by Natwest! Click here to play ‘Saving the Day’ – a game where you will have to use your budgeting skills carefully!

We have done lots of work on decimals this week and again, you have the choice of which task to complete. If you would like to complete both tasks – even better!

If you would like to recap your knowledge of comparing and ordering decimals (we have done this in maths already), then click here.

If you would like to challenge yourself with some new learning on multiplying decimals using a formal written method, then click here.

Writing

Today you are going to apply everything that you have learnt this week and last week into writing your own non-chronological report. On Friday, you had a go at creating a report on whatever you liked. We particularly loved reading Promise’s report on Roblox. This week, we would like you to compare your reports and see how much you have improved.

Click here for the lesson – complete the quiz, watch the videos and try the activities. Remember to send us any completed work!

SPAG

In SPaG today, we are going to re-cap our knowledge of apostrophes.

Click here to remind yourself about how apostrophes are used to show possession (when something belongs to someone else).

Click here to remind yourself about how apostrophes are used in contracted forms of words.

When you have watched the videos and read the information, we would like you to write 6 sentences. 3 of your sentences should include a possessive apostrophe and 3 of your sentences should include a contraction with an apostrophe.

Topic - Art

Today we are going to look at 3 famous artists, Andy Warhol, Wassily Kandinsky and Jan Van Eyk.

When painting, it can be difficult to imagine how your work can stand out from others. It can be useful to look at famous artists and get inspiration from how they achieved it. Today, we are going to look at topic, technique and style to understand how artists incorporate their personal touch within their art.

Click here to get started – watch the videos, read the information and choose one activity to complete. We would love to see your finished art work!

Have a fantastic day everyone!
