3D Shapes

Google Classroom at 9:10 for the first 15 minutes (Click the Meet Link). Please attend.

Time to move on from Fractions and get the shape part of our maths brains working. Today you are going to look at 3D shapes. Remember in the 3D the D means dimensional. We classify a 3D shape by having 3 dimensions that can be measured – the length, width and height.

When you make 3D shapes a net is needed – this is when you see a flat 2D shape laid out before it is folded together to make it 3D. Here are some examples of nets and their 3D shapes.

Please follow the link below to BBC Bitesize - there is lots of information on 3D shapes as 2D representations in their net form. Complete the activities attached on the website to develop your knowledge further in this area.

Quiet Reading Time – Bug Club

Find a comfortable spot for your reading or you may want to find an unusual place for a change. Ask your adult to send me a picture of you reading in your spot or tell me where it is on Class Dojo.

Make sure you have your reading record signed by an adult at home to show that you have kept up your reading and send over a picture on Class Dojo, this will earn you more dojos.

Trickier Relative Clauses

Google Classroom at 10:50am for the first 15 minutes. (Click on the Meet Link). Please attend.

Today’s lesson you will be recapping and learning more about relative clauses. A relative clause is a subordinate clause (a clause that doesn’t make sense on its own) often introduced by a relative pronoun.

Relative pronouns that you learnt about on Friday: that, which, whose, whom and who.

Example: Peter is the man who drives the tractor.

                        Relative pronoun                  Relative clause

The trickier bit

A relative clause can also be in the middle (embedded) of a sentence and not always with a relative pronoun.

Examples with relative pronouns:

George, who was wearing his favourite shirt, was going to the school disco.

Mia, whose pen had ran out, put her hand up to ask for another one.

Examples with relative pronouns removed:

The boy whom you met last week is coming over later.

The boy you met last week is coming over later.

Sarah is eating spaghetti, which is her favourite meal.

Sarah is eating spaghetti, it’s her favourite meal.

Geography

Rivers – Erosion and Deposition

We are going to be continuing with our topic on Rivers today.  Read through the presentation below and discover about how rivers are formed and why they don’t travel in straight lines.  There are some new words that are key features of a river system that you will need to identify to be able to complete the worksheet.  Once you have read the presentation, you will need to label the diagram and explain what is happening at each point. You will also need to identify the meanders on a map.

When you are in the presentation there are two videos you need to watch – these pages have a large play button on them. I have attached the links below as they will not play through the presentation.

Miss Wall Reads
We will continue to read some more of our class read ‘Skellig’ – this session will take place on Google Classroom. I will be reading Chapters 31 & 32 during this session. I wonder what we will find out about Michael, the garage and the new house.
