(It is possible to access the worksheets from lower year groups through their class blogs on the school website if these activities are more appropriate.)

From today we are also adding a Maths Challenge page everyday which you should be familiar with from school.

Please see the ‘Tuesday Challenge’ document. It is not necessary to do all the questions.

Questions 1-4 are a mild challenge.

Questions 5- 8 are a spicy challenge.

Questions 9- 12 are a hot challenge.

Remember to log on to Timetable Rockstars to practice your tables.

Reading

This is the most important thing that you do today. You should try and read for 15-20 minutes every day. Find a book that you think you'll enjoy (an old favourite, a new Christmas present or one that you've been meaning to read for ages but not got round to picking up), find somewhere comfortable and sit back and enjoy!

You could do any of the following types of reading:

- Read by yourself

- Read aloud to an adult, a sibling or even a pet

- Ask an adult to read to you.

Today Mrs Dodson and Mr Barwick will continue to read our new class book, ‘There’s a Boy in the Girl’s Bathroom’ by Louis Sachar. We hope you enjoy it. This video can be found on the blog.

Art

To link in with our North America topic, we would like you to have a look at the PowerPoint about a famous artist from the USA. Her name was Georgia O’Keeffe and she enjoyed painting flowers in close-up. Try to draw a picture of a flower yourself using the sheet on the blog. Use colour and make it really vivid!

Do you have time to learn even more? Here are some links to useful websites you could use:

· BBC Bitesize – Begin by clicking this link and then selecting your year group. Choose which subject you would like to learn more about. There are great videos, quizzes and activities for you to do!

· Top Marks – This is a great website to find interactive games. You can choose your age group and subject and then find fun games to play.

· Nrich – This is a great website to use for Maths. It provides activities and games which promote problem solving and fluency. Just click the link and then choose which area of Maths you are learning about at the moment.

· Timestable rockstars – A great way to practise your times tables.

Other projects you can do if you have time:

Where would you go? If you could visit any of the sites we have looked at in North America, in today’s lesson, where would you visit and why?

Record your information in any way you want. It might be a mind map or a picture or maybe just a short piece of writing.

The perfect school: Design and then build your own school building. You could use lego, wood, straws, or any other materials. When you create your design, think carefully about what you would change, add or remove or improve from the usual school building. When you have finished you could write a list of what went well and what you would do differently next time

Holiday meal at home: We can’t go away to enjoy food from other cultures at the moment, so why not bring that food to your home? Research, plan and cook (safely and with adult help) a meal for you all to enjoy from somewhere else in the world. You could create a menu, set up a restaurant in your living room and even create a playlist of music to complete the experience.

Family portraits: Use your preferred media – pencils, crayons, paint or collage materials – to create a portrait of your “special” people. It could be your family at home, your friends at school, your Brownie pack or maybe your football team. Don’t forget to include your pets!
