9-9.30am: Joe Wick's live fitness workout (YouTube- The Body Coach)
English- Chocolate room description.
Write me a detailed description of an imaginary chocolate room. We mind mapped lots of ideas using our senses last week so try to include these. Can you make it exciting using expanded noun phrases, different sentence types, similes and alliteration?
Reading-
Read theory: try to complete 1 or 2 of the comprehension activities each day.
Maths-
Daily times tables Monster Multiplication game (warm up!)
Numbers to 1000- compare and order.
If you finish this quickly, in your maths book can you create 10 of your own number sentences?
Choose 2 3-digit numbers (if you have dice at home you could roll it to choose the digits) and use greater than and less than symbols. (E.g. 587 > 563)
Wednesday (25.3.20):
9-9.30am: Joe Wick's live fitness workout (YouTube- The Body Coach)
English- Persuasive FairTrade Poster
Create a poster on Purple Mash to put around St Austin's encouraging people to buy fair trade products. Use your knowledge about what we learnt about FairTrade and chocolate (I have attached the powerpoint below to remind you). Also think about persuasive features. Can you use: exaggeration, rhetorical questions and emotive language?

Adding HTO + O. This activity should help you practise mental maths (in your head), as well as written strategies. I would like you to complete the questions on the screen and represent them in your Maths book as:
-a bar model
-base ten (draw hundreds, tens sticks, ones)
-column method
Once you have done this you may be able to upload it on class dojo! (don't worry if you can't)

There are 2 activities today. A quiz game on Purple Mash and then a worksheet. Children need to copy and complete the sentences from the worksheet into their English books. I have then given instructions on how to send this to me.

Please try and complete 1 or 2 activities on Read Theory (some of you haven't logged on yet...let me know if you need help)

Bar Charts (Purple Mash). Please complete the questions on bar charts. This should be a recap of the work we did in class a few weeks ago. Remember when it says "How many more...?" that you need to find the difference (subtract)
