Day 1 - Monday 16th August

Reading Unlike a written persuasive text, an advertisement does not use a lot of words. Activity: Read ‘How do adverts affect what we choose?’ and ‘Advertising Strategies and Techniques’ (page 5) and then look at the 4 advertisements (page 6) and brainstorm all the things/devices you think the creators used to convince their audience to buy the product.

Spelling

Focus: Suffix ‘-less’, suffix ‘-ness’ The suffix -less, meaning ‘without’, is added to nouns and verbs to form adjectives. For example, a hopeless situation is a situation without hope. Watch: The suffix -ness- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_EfeknsxIn0 Activity: What words could match these meanings? Your answer must have either the suffix -ness or -less

Without end endless

State of being neat

The state of being ill

Without rest

State of being fond of

Without use

Without a home

Opposite of careful

Having no fear

Out of breath

Not thinking

Here is a list of words that may help you! thoughtless, useless, fondness, illness, neatness, homeless, fearless, breathless, restless, careless, endless

Number Patterns Warm Up: Work out what numbers fit in the boxes. See the example that is done for you

Watch this video about patterns: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-6uEtTBH7g Remember a sequence or pattern is the ordered set of numbers (or shapes etc.) and the pattern rule is what you apply to each number to get to the next number in the sequence. So in the sequence;

35, 39, 43, 47, 51 The rule is + 4, as that is what you do to each number to get to the next number i.e. 35 + 4 = 39 39 + 4 = 43 etc. Activity 1: Match up the number sequence with the correct pattern rule.

Sequence Pattern Rule

15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40 - 5

150, 250, 350, 450, 550, 650 + 2

16, 19, 22, 25, 28, 31 + 10

56, 54, 52, 50, 48, 46 + 6

20, 32, 44, 56, 68, 80 + 5

101, 111, 121, 131, 141, 151 + 7

41, 36, 31, 26, 21, 16 + 100

5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15 - 2

30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60 + 12

107, 114, 121, 128, 135, 142 + 3

Activity 2: Pick 4 of the number sequences above, and continue the pattern a further 5 places e.g. 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, 21, 23, 25

Science

To celebrate Science Week, we will be doing a Science activity every day of the week! Watch Science book of the day: Ada Twist, Scientist https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5tQcSKH37AY

Food and Science Science is everywhere! One of the best places in your home to find science in action is your

kitchen. Cooking and baking requires chemistry. Eating and digestion requires biology. It’s all science!

Make your own butter

Many of the foods we eat are created by using principles of chemistry. Butter is one of them. Butter is created from cream, which is milk with a high fat content. Follow the instructions below

to make your own home-made butter.

You will need: ● full cream milk

● glass jar with lid ● sieve

Instructions:

1. Fill the jar halfway with cream. 2. Close the lid tightly and shake the jar.

3. Continue shaking (it might take a while!) until you start to see a ball forming. 4. Once the cream has clumped together, use a sieve to strain out the extra liquid.

5. Your butter is now ready to eat!

Questions: Describe what happened to the cream. What caused the change in state (from liquid to solid)?

What could you do to make the butter form faster? Research the science behind this experiment.

Maths Warm Up: What is the greatest 3-digit number whose digits total 13? Mini Lesson: The rule in a pattern can be any number of things. As we saw yesterday, the rule can involve multiplication, addition or subtraction and they can start at any given number, it doesn’t have to start at zero. Here are some ideas for more complex patterns:

- Start in the hundreds or thousands - Have a multiplication pattern - Have a number sequence that involves fractions or decimals - Include more than one rule in your pattern

Here is an example of a fractions number pattern/sequence: 1/6 , 3/6, 5/6, 1 1/6, 1 3/6 The rule in this pattern is adding 2/6 each time

Here is an example of a sequence that involves more than one rule: 13, 19, 18, 23, 22, 27 The rules in this pattern are +5, -1 Activity 1: Fill in the table below by creating 5 number patterns. Your pattern must go for at least 6 numbers and you must write the rule for the pattern. Some examples have been done for you. Your rule can involve addition, subtraction or multiplication.

Pattern/Sequence Rule

3.4, 3.8, 4.2, 4.6, 5, 5.4, Adding 0.4

20, 27, 34, 41, 48, 55, Adding 7

Optional Activity 2: Research triangular numbers and make a PicCollage poster (or similar) with what you find out.

Dancing Vibrations

Today you are going to investigate vibrations and sound waves.

What you will need:

● salt (or anything light and small such as sprinkles or rice)

● speaker (or anything that plays music - phone/ipad)

● plastic film wrap or thin plastic bag

● rubber band

● bowl

Steps:

1. Cover the bowl with plastic. Make sure the surface is stretched out tightly and use the rubber

band to hold the plastic in place.

2. Place salt on top of the plastic.

3. Place the speaker close to the bowl and play any song with the

volume up.

4. Observe and record what happens to the salt.

5. Now choose another song and observe what happens. Which

genre of music (rap/jazz/classical/pop etc.) makes the salt

dance better?

6. Research vibrations and soundwaves to help you explain the

science behind the dancing.

*Optional* If you really want to make your salt dance, place the speaker inside the bowl!

Day 4 - Thursday 19th August

Grammar An apostrophe is used in a number of ways: To signal a contraction

● e.g. they are = they’re To signal the singular possessive

● e.g. This is Gary’s golf club. ● e.g. Here is James’ house.

To signal the plural possessive

● e.g. This is my parents’ car. ● e.g. The three puppies’ tails were

wagging.

Activity 1: Fill in the table by creating a

possessive phrase using an apostrophe. The

first one has been done for you.

child’s toy 1. child - toy

2. cat - claw

3. Brandon - dogs

4. children - games

5. foxes - tails

6. Kelly - computer

7. men - cars

8. students - pencils

9. teacher - desk

10. players - gloves

Activity 2: Fill in ‘Which Word is Correct?’

Writing

Activity: What do you prefer and why? Write a paragraph for each of the 3 questions. Make sure you explain your reasons and include persuasive language to persuade other people to agree with you. 1. Winter or summer? 2. Book or movie? 3. Swimming in a pool or the beach?

Maths

Equivalent Number Sentences

Warm Up:

Mini Lesson: An equation is a mathematical statement that contains an equal sign, showing that two expressions are equal.

17

For example:

2 + 4 = 6 + 0 is an equation. The group of numbers of the left equals 6, and the group of numbers on the right also equals 6.

Watch this video to understand more about equivalent number sentences. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cl28hdkYlyU Note: There are different ways that you might calculate the last step in the video, you don’t have to flip the equation to subtraction. Because 18 is close to 21, you might choose to just count on from 18, until you get to 21 to find the missing number. Always remember to choose the strategy that suits you best and that is most efficient (quick and least likely to make a mistake). Vocab: Remember an equation is another way of saying number sentence. Inverse operations are operations that are the opposite of each other like addition and subtraction, or multiplication and division. Activity: Work out the missing numbers in these equivalent number sentences. Choose the level that suits you best (or have a go at more than one level if you like!)

A B C

6 + 4 = 9 + ⬜ 26 + 42 = 70 - ⬜ 72 / 9 = 4 + ⬜

8 + 6 = 10 + ⬜ 59 + 17 = 68 + ⬜ 335 + 241 = 600 - ⬜

Why is Mars Red?

http://mysterydoug.com/mysteries/red-mars?code=5c4a275ad79fdcd80bc1b0a5cf4ee5d9

Balloon Powered Mars Rover

Roving a mini "planet" calls for a "mini-rover." NASA built a tiny rover just a couple of inches high to

explore the surface of an asteroid and take pictures. Here’s a photo of the real asteroid rover!

Watch: This video on balloon powered cars for inspiration:

Educational Activities for Kids: Balloon Car Race - YouTube

Activity: Can you design and build a nanorover that’s powered by a balloon?

You will need:

Cardboard

Tape

Balloon

Bottle caps

Skewers

Straw

If you don't have some of the materials, you may like to use any items that you find around the house.

● You may like to research different types of rovers or designs before you begin

● You will need to draw and label your design before you begin to construct your mini or

nanorover.

● Once you have created your rover, ensuring you have attached the wheels, straw and balloon,

you can test it on different surfaces. For example, on floorboards, carpet, or even outside.

● You will need to record the distance your rover can travel and the speed at which it travels.

Here are some ideas for inspiration:

Questions

You will need to answers these questions in full sentences:

Which surface did your rover travel best on? Why do you think that?

How fast does your mini rover travel?

What is the distance your mini-rover travelled?

What were some of the challenges you faced? How did you overcome them?
