WEEK BEGINNING: Monday 1st June, 2020

888

3. Writing a numeral after a bigger numeral means ‘add it on’. (VII means 5 + 1 + 1 = 7 and XIII means 10 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 13) 4. Writing a numeral before a bigger numeral means ‘subtract it’. (IV means 5 – 1 = 4 and IX means 10 – 1 = 9) 5. I can be used before V and X. 6. X can be used before L and C. 7. C can be used before D and M.

Activity 1 Roman numerals from 1 to 10

To familiarise yourself with the Roman numerals Write out in full, the numeral with its Roman alternative (just like in the picture). Now for each number, write out the Roman numerals in a calculation. For example: 4 = I - V 9 = I - X Challenge: Write out numbers 11-20 in Roman numerals *Make sure you look back at the rules*

Activity 2 Find the value of the following numbers *Scroll down and read ‘Maths – Activity 2’ first*

Remember to separate the numerals first, then change into modern numerals before placing addition and subtraction symbols. The operation will only be subtraction if the number after holds more of a value.

Spellings to practice: cemetery necessary government frequently profession Use each of these spellings in a sentence. On Friday, ask a family member to test you on these spellings (week 5). Challenge: Ask a family member to test you on week 5 and an additional week’s spellings!

Times tables – 3 and 9 Times tables booklet (if

you do not have this, please use your orange home learning book and split your page in half)

Write your times table all the way up to X 12

(e.g. 3 x 1 all the way to 3 x 12)

Challengers will write their times tables up to x15

(e.g. 3 x 1 all the way to 3 x 15)

Set a timer of 5 minutes (if you finish before the 5 minutes is up, check your answers)

Record your time

Repeat this for the second multiple (12).

Challenge: First, separate all numerals. If the numeral is a smaller value than the next, this means you must subtract (place a subtract symbol between the two numbers).

Activity 3 Representing numbers in Roman Numerals Ensure you write from left to write for example, the number 23 should be split into place value. 20 + 3 Which Roman numeral makes 20? 10 + 10 = XX Then which Roman numeral makes 3? = III 23 = XXIII *Again – ALWAYS remember to place the larger number first.*

Challengers will notice a pattern between the 3 and 9 times tables.

Marking your times tables Use a calculator (or find

an online calculator).

Add up how many you got

correct.

Write your score at the bottom of your page.

On Friday, ask a family member to test you. 10 mixed questions from the 3 and 9 times tables.

P.E. How many high knees can you complete in one minute? Repeat this activity every day and record your score. Can you create your own 5 minute work out? Remember to have a warm up and cool down. Why not share this with your peers on our school blog?

School Blog There are a number of activities for you to access on the school blog. Please

Religion – Inspirational People The most inspirational person the world has ever known is Jesus. LOVE is

the quality, which makes Him stand out above everyone else. He loved sinners as well as good people, poor as well as rich and he loved

the downcast and those who suffered injustice. Jesus invites us

To follow his example

To be his friend

To join his mission to change the world. This is a wonderful invitation. We do not have to do great things. The secret is to put great love into all we do.

Task

Design a membership card for those who want to be a follower of Jesus. Read Luke 6:27 – 37. Write some ‘Guidelines for Members’ based on these words. Answer this question in your books. Can anyone join this club? (Think carefully). Explain the reasons for your answer.

Science – Earth, Sun and Moon Travel back in time to your learning about Earth and space. If you have a dictionary look up the meaning of the word celestial. What does it mean? What type of word is it? Write the scientific word for each description.

1. The star at the centre of our solar system. 2. The third planet from the sun. 3. The roughly circular path a celestial object or satellite takes around 4. A larger celestial object. 5. Roughly, the time it takes the Earth to make one orbit of the Sun. 6. Roughly, the time it takes the Moon to orbit the Earth. 7. A smaller celestial object that orbits a planet. 8. Shaped roughly like a ball.

National Growing for Well-being Week

Create a poster around the theme of gardening. What could you grow in your garden? If you do not have a garden, what could you grow on your balcony or windowsill (in pots) or in our school garden? Draw your ideas and explain them to an adult or sibling.

Create a grass caterpillar! Using a pair of old tights or thin socks, cut off the toe end and tie a knot. Fill it

with sawdust, compost or both to create the body of the caterpillar. Sprinkle grass seeds (on the inside) down one side of the caterpillar. Tie a knot in the other end.

Tie bands around parts of the body to create sections and add eyes, legs and antennae to the caterpillar using pipe cleaners. Place it in water and then remove.

Remember to water it every day and the grass will start to grow! Remember to place it in direct sunlight on a windowsill or in your garden. Soon you will have a

hairy caterpillar. You might want to give it a haircut at some point!

Well-being

Describe your definition of ‘peaceful’ in five ways. Write them into your home learning book. One way to be peaceful is to spend some time in the fresh air. You may be fortunate to have your own garden and in this beautiful sunshine, it is great to spend some time outside. On you travels, within your garden or looking out of your window, complete the following six day challenge. On a plain piece of paper (lined paper will be fine too), divide your page into 6 boxes that are 8cm x 8cm

1. Looking at your picture, jot down some simple words to describe what you might see, hear, or smell if you were in

the scene.

Leaves. Snow. Moss and grass.

2. Now, using a thesaurus, your vocabulary books and your imagination, add adjectives, adverbs or powerful verbs to

describe each word.

Glittering sun streaming through thick, rolling clouds. Excited river babbling and gushing.

Towering mountains iced with powdery snow reaching up to the endless sky. Thin trees dancing

and swaying. Crisp leaves rustling in the breeze. Damp green moss clinging to the rocks.

3. Use your notes to create a piece of descriptive writing in your books. Remember to use full sentences, including

correct punctuation, and try to use a mixture of simple and complex sentences.

4. When you have finished your piece, read it carefully to make sure it makes sense. Use a dictionary to check your
