    Thursday 15th July

    Good morning! Last day of isolation - can't wait to see you all tomorrow!

    Maths

    Complete these bakery problems:

    The last question is something we haven't done so don't stress about that one!

    English

    Today's English task is some creative writing. To do this effectively, you will need to be able to use inverted commas (speech marks) so watch this video and do the quiz first: Using inverted commas - Year 4 - P5 - English - Home Learning with BBC Bitesize - BBC Bitesize

    Then, you need to write a paragraph about a (possibly made-up) situation at school and a teacher (you can choose who!) discovering it - has someone brought in their pet hamster? are the boys toilets blocked again? is there slime stuck to the ceiling?

    Here's a an example to help you get started (thanks, Haaris!)

    With a loud crash, Mrs Seymour swung the doors to the year 6

    classroom open and marched quickly into the room.

    Everybody fell silent as she stood staring manically around the

    room. She clearly wasn’t happy.

    “Is everything ok Mrs Seymour ?" asked the nervous young teacher.

    “No! No it is not Mrs Benson,” replied the head, while her eyes

    darted quickly around the room as if searching for someone.

    “Whatever has happened ?" whispered the teacher nervously.

    Mrs Seymour put her hands on her hips and took a deep breath. A

    collective feeling of fear engulfed the classroom. The year sixes

    knew that whatever it was, it was something very serious if the

    head teacher was coming into their SPAG lesson on a Tuesday

    morning.

    Music

    Listen to these songs on repeat. Learn the words. Sing them loudly without looking at the words.

    Maths

    Your task today is to actually make a box for your cupcakes by drawing a net, cutting it out and sticking it together. It will need an attractive design and be sturdy enough to hold your cupcakes. You can use cardboard from a cereal box or other packaging.

    There are two examples below to help you out - don't forget the flaps or you won't be able to stick it together!

    Good morning! I'm looking forward to everybody's work today - make sure you check your calendar to see if you have a meeting to rehearse for leavers.

    Maths

    Watch the video and listen to Activity 4 (41:14 - 41:53): WRM Bakery | White Rose Maths

    You need to sketch the net for your packaging - it doesn't need to be exactly measured out but you need to write exact dimensions on it. Then you can decide on decoration - maybe use a logo or company name.....

    English

    Complete both of these activities - watch the videos and do the quiz. I will expect you to use these skills in tomorrow's work.
