Good morning to you all! I wonder how your stories turned out. Have you read them out loud to anyone? We already know what amazing authors you all are, so I imagine they are fantastic. Maybe someone in your family can add a comment on this blog post about it?
Don't forget to do some exercise with Joe Wicks or Jumpstart Jonny when you need a brain break. Also, spend some time outside whilst the weather is good. You could save the history activities until after tea if you like, when it is dark outside.

Your learning at home today is as follows.
Maths
Warm your brains up.
Draw some number lines in your exercise book. If you have a ruler, try to mark off 1cm intervals along the line. You can then make little marks to count along in 25s. What patterns do you notice? On the next number line, count in 1/4s. When you get to whole numbers, can you write them in 2 different ways?
Main activity.
Tell your family how many seconds in a minute and how many minutes in an hour. See if you can count to 60, taking a minute to do it. How close can you get? You could make this into a competition with your families, by seeing who can get the closest.
Think of 5-10 different activities that you could time e.g. jumping 20 times, saying the alphabet backwards, reciting your times tables, running around the garden 10 times, making toast etc. Write the activities in your book and estimate how long it will take you to do each one. Rank them in order from least amount of time, to the most. Ask someone in your family if they can time you, either by counting or on their watch / smart phone (think about which would be the most accurate). Once you have timed them, put them in order. Did you estimate the order correctly? Think about why you were successful, or why you misjudged some (that's the metacognitive bit! Thinking about / evaluating what you learned!)
If you want another maths activity, select a time activity from your pack, or have a go at this game with someone in your family.
English
Read through your story with fresh eyes and make improvements.
Complete one of the Viking comprehension activities. Read it out loud to someone in your family, or ask them to read it to you if needed.
History

You could then draw or write about what you have learned, in your exercise books.

Oliver Shaw called his story 'Bob and the castle dragon'. We were very impressed with his story and all of the descriptive words he used. I find it amazing how their brains work and makes me really proud. He's dragon is a flying dragon and loves meat!!!!!

Oliver shaws story 'Bob and the castle dragon' amazed me and I was so proud of how he had put his story together and how descriptive he was. His dragon likes to fly and enjoys eating meat. He looks forward to you being able to read it. 😊
