English: LO: to identify features of a non-chronological report.

Today I would like you to think very carefully about the features of an information report. If you can find an example around the home in a magazine or newspaper, that would be very helpful. Alternatively you could search the internet, or look back at some of the work your completed on the Japan project.

Write down all of the necessary features of a report. For example: headings, sub-headings, use of specific language.

Write some examples under each feature and practise creating descriptive headings and sub-headings. Your afternoon topic work requires these skills, so use your English session to prepare for writing a report.

Maths: LO: to accurately measure.

Today I would like you to practise measuring objects as accurately as possible, using centimetres and millimetres. Find a ruler with millimetre markings and find some smaller objects around your home. Measure them and accurately record the length of each object in your workbook. Are there any objects in your home which are smaller than 1 millimetre? As an extension you could research smaller units of measure using the internet.

Topic: LO: to investigate a balanced diet.

A balanced diet means eating a different range of foods from the main food groups in order to make sure that we stay healthy. Today I would like you to investigate what the main food groups are, and find some foods which fall into each of these food groups. Do you think you eat a balanced diet? Work out how balanced your dinner is tonight by seeing which food groups you have on your plate.

Would a balanced diet for a human be appropriate for all mammals? Do any animals have diets which are similar to ours?
