*LESSON 2 – Maths: Divide by 10, 100 & 1000 (Recap)

This week’s topic is division. Today you will be dividing by 10, 100, 1000. Division is splitting a number into equal parts or groups. Dividing can also be known as ‘sharing equally’.

You have done this in the past, so I am expecting, that a majority of you should feel confident in doing the independent work. Many of you may find that you finish the worksheet quite quickly. If that is the case, I want you to attempt the extension worksheet.

When watching the video, make sure to take any notes, if it will aid in your understanding of how to divide by 10. You can go back or pause the video as many times as you want!  When working out your calculations, use a place value grid to help aid your understanding. You will, as always, need pen and paper.

The digits will either move one, two or three places  to the right.

*LESSON 3 – Literacy – Counter Arguments – Deforestation.

Today, you will be looking at counter arguments, building on the work that you did yesterday.

Use this information sheet to help you come up with your counter arguments Deforestation: For and Against

14:15 – 15:15: Live Session – AFTERNOON CATCH UP

10:00-11:00: Live Online Lesson 1: Literacy – Deforestation 

Continuing with deforestation, today’s lesson will look at the way in which you can counter your arguments.  We will be looking at the way in which we make our point and how we support our point. We are building, on the 5 points you made and how we can turn them into an argument. 1 point = 1 argument. We will be using P.E.E. What is P.E.E? So, have your mind maps with you and as always pen and paper.

To support you in your writing, use this wordmat to help you vary your sentences in your arguments. It will help to, again, make your writing more interesting.

*LESSON 2 – Maths: Divide by 100 (Recap)

This week’s topic is division. Today you will be dividing by 100. Division is splitting a number into equal parts or groups. Dividing can also be known as ‘sharing equally’.  For example 200 divided by 4 = ? If you take 200 rubbers and put them into 4 equal groups, there will be 50 rubbers in each group. 200 divided by 4 = 50

You have done this in the past, so I am expecting, that a majority of you should feel confident in doing the independent work. Many of you may find that you finish the worksheet quite quickly. If that is the case, I want you to attempt the extension worksheet.

*LESSON 3 – Thematic -Write a Diary Entry

Start by watching this video – it explains the task, tells you to download this information pdf to use as your research and there is a modelled write to help get you started.

The task is to write about 3/4 of a page in first person as a Viking person. You’ll need to choose your job, where you live, what your hobbies are and what your religion is. It’s a bit like a diary entry so you’re allowed to be informal. Remember, you’re creating your character, so you can be anything – as long as it’s historically accurate. Upload before 14:15 if you can – if you can’t take photos then there is no reason you can’t simply type it up in your homework upload. Remember – no excuses!

14:15 – 15:15: Live Session – AFTERNOON CATCH UP

Will discuss today’s work – was it easy/just right for you/difficult/challenging?

We will, also, see who has collected dojo points for the day.
