Unique Venus

Good morning Venus,

Here is today’s learning schedule:

09:15: Log into our Google Meet. Early Morning Work.

09:15-09:20: Register.

09:20-10:00: Together we’ll go through today’s work and discuss any issues. Once that’s clear, take the time to make sure all your links work and you’re able to open the documents and videos. Once you’ve managed that, take a look at the independent work and be sure you understand is expected of you.

10:00-11:00: Live Online Lesson: Maths – Factors. All you need is a pen and paper. Factors of a number are the numbers which when multiplied make up the other number: 2 x 3 = 6 therefore, 3 & 2 are both factors of 6. If you’re able to, you could bring with you up to 20 “counters” – these could be anything like penny coins or pieces of Lego but they should all be the same size.

11:15 – This is also an opportunity for any of you who found yesterday’s work challenging to join Miss Warby’s room (epsvenus2).

11:00-14:15: Independent work and time to upload it to the blog.

English: RAINFOREST RESEARCH.

Today we’re continuing with our Rainforest research.

There is a PowerPoint that you will need to watch, it is about taking notes. The important part is that you are not to copy things down. It needs to be in your own words. We talk about organising your notes as well and you have to remember we’re starting from the point of yesterday’s work – those 5 or 6 topics (your headings) are where you will focus your research and you should spend around 40 minutes reading, skimming and note taking, adding these things to perhaps 5 or 6 separate sheets of paper with your headings on top.

Literacy PP 07.01.21

Here are some links to get you started:

Google Earth: Explore rainforests from your living room – type in Amazon, Congo, Daintree and Southeast Asian Rainforest. See where it takes https://earth.google.com/web

Conserve Energy Future: A website which will give you a good introduction. Read through and take some interesting points as you go.  https://www.conserve-energy-future.com/biggest-popular-rainforests-world.php

Cool kids facts: This is a nice introduction to some key vocabulary – particularly words like “understory” and “canopy”. https://www.coolkidfacts.com/rainforest-facts-for-kids/

Ducksters: I like this site as it doesn’t make it too “childish” for you – it treats you like the proper scientists you are! https://www.ducksters.com/science/ecosystems/rainforest_biome.php

Kiddle: This website will be good for getting a better understanding of “the five layers”….

RE: GURU NANAK.

We are continuing with our topic of Sikihism.

Start by watching this BBC Bitesize video of the Guru Nanak. Guru Nanak is the founder of Sikhism and the first “Guru” or teacher. https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/clips/zgyr87h

RE PP 07.01.21

Your task is to create a newspaper report on the Founding of Sikhism, referencing the events that led to Guru Nanak to begin this religion. Here is a word document template of a newspaper that you can print out but, as always, you don’t have to print.

Newspaper Template Option 1

Newspaper Template Option 22

For a really great piece on this, you may have to do your own research beyond the video. Start with this “Kiddle” website.

14:15 – 15:15 Discuss work and answers. Quiz/riddle time. Read Beowulf.

See at 09:15.
