Cedar class learning for 02 JUL 2020

English: LO: to write a scary story.

Today I would like you to write your scary story. Use your story map, your spider diagram, and the word bank you created on Monday to help you. The main thing you need to focus on is using all of your spooky adjectives and adverbs to build up the atmosphere for the reader. Try and make the reader feel as uncomfortable as possible so they feel that something spooky will happen any second!

Even if the scary thing in your story isn’t that scary, having a really tense atmosphere will make reading your story a frightening experience.

Can you scare someone in your home? Feel free to email me any of your stories, I’ll let you know if they scare me!

Maths: LO: to investigate creating shapes.

Today I would like you to carry out a shape investigation:

If you cut a square diagonally from corner to corner you get four right-angled isosceles triangles.

How many different shapes can you make by fitting the four triangles back together?

You may only fit long sides to long sides and short sides to short sides. The whole length of the side must be joined.

Draw each shape you have created and name it.

Challenge: describe the shape in terms of sides and vertices, describe the angles using the terms you have learned this week.
