Cedar class learning for 23 APR 2020
Please see the weekly activities post/the corresponding section on the class website for the spelling and arithmetic focus for this week, along with additional tasks which can be completed. The weekly activity post also has a list of tasks for the afternoon work – a project on Japan.
English: LO: to consider how to write for different audiences.
When we write, we use different words and styles of writing depending on who we think the reader will be. For example, a story written for 3-4 year old children will look a lot different to a story for 10 year old children. A non-fiction piece of writing giving the reader information about something will look a lot different to a story.
Today, I would like you to think about the style of writing and types of words used in non-fiction texts. Find a non-fiction piece of writing (this could be a book, newspaper article or leaflet) and compare it to a fiction book. Write down the main differences you can see between the two.
When you are completing your project work on Japan, the list of features in the non-fiction text are probably going to be better suited for your writing. Try and use some of the things you have identified in other non-fiction texts.
Maths: LO: to use the 24 hour clock.
At the start of the week you looked at the 24 hour clock. Today, I would like you to see how well you can write and tell them time in the evenings and night. Pretend you are secretly a superhero. When you go to bed, you actually put on your superhero outfit and go out and save the world, fight crime, and do other superhero things. Write a timetable of what you will do tonight on your superhero duties. Don’t forget, you can only start once your family think you are asleep, and you have to be back in bed before they normally come and get you up!
For example:
20:00 – bed time.
20:10 – put on my superhero suit.
20:20 – activate the secret trapdoor in my wardrobe which takes me down to my superhero cave so that I can collect my gadgets and flying car.
