English: Big write challenge.

Below is a diary entry. Your challenge is to finish it off!

Month: June Year: 3015

Dear diary,

It has now been 2 years since we moved here. Leaving Earth was tough, but we are beginning to feel more at home with every single week that passes.

When we came to our new home, we were allowed to bring everything with us from our Earth homes. It still feels a bit strange though. Life without gravity really takes some getting used to!

Some questions to help you get started:

  • Where is it that you now live?
  • What is gravity? Can you include descriptions of what it is like to live without it?
  • How is it different from your previous life?
  • What do you do in the daytime or at night time? Are the days longer or shorter here?
  • Do you prefer living in your new home?

Maths: LO: to weigh items around the home.

Today I would like you to look at weight and how we measure weight. Find some scales in your home and measure some common household items. What is the heaviest item you can find? What is the lightest item you can find? Are there any items which are too light or too heavy for your scales to weigh?

If you have access to ingredients, make a batch of cookies or cakes by weighing out each of the ingredients. If you want a challenge, you could try and double up on the recipe to make double the amount. This is a good way to check your doubling skills, a cake won’t work out too well if you double up the eggs but not the flour!

Topic: LO: to investigate the heart.

Today I would like you to research the heart. What is the heart? What does it do? Where is it in humans? Do all other living things have a heart? Draw a picture of a heart. Do hearts really look like the shape of a heart we often seen drawn and in cartoons?
