Maths

L.O. To know what is used to measure length/height and temperature (remembering)

SC1- I can define length, height and temperature

SC2 – I can recall what we use to measure length/height and temperature

SC3 – I can recall the units of measure.

Write down what you think length, height and temperature means. Then look it up on the internet or ask Alexa/Siri (if you have one) to check if you are correct. Adjust your answer if you need to.

Do you remember when we used measuring scales to measure weight(mass) and a measuring jug to measure volume and capacity?

What do you think we use to measure length, height and temperature?

Write down what you think and then ask an adult or look up the answer on the internet to see if you are right.

Adjust your answer if you need to.

Match the units of measurement to the type of measurement and then look it up to see if you are correct:

Now, try to find out when we use the different units of measure. Why do we use centimetres instead of metres? When would we use metres instead of centimetres? Write this in your book.

Why do some people use Celsius and some people use Fahrenheit? Which is more commonly used in England? Write this in your book.

L.O. To understand how to measure length/height and temperature (understanding)

SC1 – I can explain how to use a ruler to measure in centimetres

SC2 – I can explain how to use a tape measure to measure in meters

SC3 – I can explain how to use a thermometer to measure in degrees.

Watch this video to find out how to use a ruler to measure in centimetres and a tape measure to measure in metres:

Now, create your own video to explain this clearly to someone else. If you have a ruler and a tape measure at home, use this to help you explain how to measure length and height. If you do not have these items, use the interactive ruler on:

https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/measuring-in-cm

and ask someone to film you explaining how to use it. You can then explain how you might measure in meters.

Watch this introduction on using thermometers: 

Watch my video tutorial on reading different types of scales:

Then use this interactive thermometer and ask a parent to film you explaining how to use it:

https://www.topmarks.co.uk/Flash.aspx?f=Temperaturev2

Click on a few different ones to show that you know how to read it when the scales go up in different ways.

Then send your notes in your book & your videos to your teacher.

2020 – Year of change.

Challenge 4 – letter to someone (random acts of kindness).

L.O. To plan my letter (applying)

SC1 – I can plan for each feature of the letter

SC2 – I can plan what I am going to say

SC3 – I can include adventurous vocabulary

Today you are going to write a plan for your letter. Note: please do not write your letter today. It is important to plan it out before we write it up tomorrow.

Firstly, draw a table in your book with two columns. Write the features of a letter in the first column:

Next, in the second column write in your notes for what you will include. Start with the date – this will be tomorrow’s date so you can write this in the box. Then plan how you will greet the person you are writing to and which greeting you will use. Then make notes on what you will include in the letter (this could just be in bullet points – there is no need to write in full sentences at this point).

Then plan the closing you will use. Finally, write your name where it says ‘signature.’

Please see my example below:

You will notice I have highlighted the words ‘exhausting’ ‘delicious’ and ‘poignant.’ I have included adventurous vocabularly. I would like you to think of some adventourous vocabulary that you will include in your letter and underline it in your plan. For example if you think of writing the word ‘nice,’ ‘tired’, ‘yummy’ or a word that you think could be improved – try to substitute it for a more challenging word.

2:00-3:00

Write a list of ‘random acts of kindness’ that you could perform to fill other people’s buckets.

Perform one of them today.

If you have time, carry on with challenge 1 ‘what do I want to become an expert in?’ Practise what you have been learning and make notes on how you’re getting on.

3:00-3:15
