Hello everybody,

I hope that you had a great night’s sleep!

Here are the answers to yesterday’s questions. Did you give Jack the same advice?

Today, in maths, you are going to analyse some data.

Look carefully at the yellow circle, and remember that a full circle is worth 20 points. This means that half a circle would be worth 10 points. How many points would a quarter of a circle be worth? And three quarters?

When looking at the second table, remember that to find 1/4 of the total number of votes, you will first need to add up all of the votes.

Good luck, and let me know if you would like any help 😀

In English today, we are focusing on the lines: There are mountains for climbing, journeys to take.

Can you think what these lines might be a metaphor for?

I read the lines as representing the struggles that people may face in life.

Can you think of any mountains that you have had to climb recently? It may be a small struggle, or something bigger, perhaps it was the struggle of not being able to come to school?

How did you manage to climb the mountain, and face your dilemma?

Today, I would like you to draw some of the struggles you may have faced, and then show me how you have overcame them.

Yesterday, in RE, you thought about the important events which may occur in your lifetime, and the celebrations that you would like to have.

Today, I would like you to spend time talking with an adult, to find out about the celebrations in their life so far.

You may decide to phone somebody in your family, or talk to somebody at home.

These are the questions you could discuss: Which important events have happened in your lifetime? What happened? Did you celebrate? How?

Have another great day in the sunshine, 

Make sure you put lots of sun cream on, if you are going outside today,

Mrs Taylor 

Good morning, Discoverers,

I hope you are well 🙂

Here are the answers for yesterday’s maths questions. How did you get on?

Today, you are continuing to look at statistics, and Jack needs some advice.

Look carefully at the graph he has created, and answer the questions related.

Today, in English, we are focusing on the lines ‘Night before daybreak, the old day is done.’

What do these words mean?

You may interpret the lines as meaning that every day, when you wake up, it is a fresh start.

I want you to imagine that you can do anything when you wake up tomorrow. You have the whole day to plan as you wish.

I would like you to create a plan for what you would do with your day, from the minute you wake up, to the minute you go to sleep.

You might like to create a timetable, and present your plan within it. Or you could write your activities in a list, but remember to include timings so that you know you can fit everything in!

I can’t wait to read about where you would go, and who you would see 😀

Today, in RE, I would like you to think about your future.

Which celebrations would you like to see in it?

I would like you to think about important events that you would like to happen in your lifetime and try to answer this question: Why do you want these things to happen? What would it mean to you? How will you celebrate?

For example: You might like to go to university, so you may see yourself at graduation. You might want this to happen, so that you can get the job you are wanting. It may be very important to you and so you might celebrate by attending a graduation event, and then having a special meal with your family.

You could discuss this task with a family member, or you may like to write it down.

I am sure that there are many celebrations that you are looking forward to, and I can’t wait to hear about them.

Have a great day everybody, 

Mrs Taylor
