Mymaths - coordinates homework

Tonight's homework for maths is the Mymaths coordinates activity. It should be completed by next Monday, 14th June.

Tonight's homework is 3D!

Make a shape from the net you were given today.

Remember to :

• Cut the shape out carefully and accurately
• Crease the dotted fold lines between the shapes faces and the flaps
• Decorate the blank side of the net (you could make the shape look like a real Egyptian pyramid, or you could use hieroglyphics to decorate a border)
• Cut a small hole in the shape for the string if you want to be able to hang up the shape
• Glue the shape together
• While it is drying, have a good chat with someone near you, sing a song or learn to recite the alphabet backwards...it's up to you, but it will help you pass the time as the glue dries.

Forgot your net? DON'T panic! Have a look here for some printable nets.

Have fun...in 3D!

Monday 26th Cake Homework

Your homework will involve making biscuits (cookies) using the recipe below. If you cannot do this sometime this week, then try to calculate double the quantities, for your maths homework.

Why?

1. Because we are learning about metamorphic rocks and cooking is very much like the process of making metamorphic rocks...there is pressure (mixing) and there is heat (from the oven) and the result is that the ingredients change their structure and how they look.
2. Also, you may decide to DOUBLE the ingredients because you want to bring some in to school...This is great for your maths practice.
3. Measuring will be really helpful for those of you who need some practice at accurately taking measurements.
4. Oh, it's also because they are tasty .

The recipe for Metamorphic Munchables is shown below...they will be lavaly.

WARNING FROM SEB:

The cakes were very runny with the recipe's amount of flour...you may need to add some more flour.

Ingredients:

125g caster sugar, one egg, 75g chocolate chips, 150g self raising flour, 75g soft butter, 1/2 tsp vanilla essence.

Utensils:

scales, a large bowl, a wooden spoon, a teaspoon, a dessert spoon, a greased baking sheet, a wire cooling rack, an oven and oven gloves.

What you do:

Ask an adult to turn on the oven to 190 C (375 F or Gas 5)

Cream the butter and sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy.

Beat in the egg and vanilla essence.

Mix in the flour.

Stir in the chocolate chips.

Use a dessert spoon to drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the greased baking sheet. Leave space for the mounds to spread as they cook.

Ask an adult to put the cookies in the oven. Bake for 10 - 15 minutes or until they are golden brown. When they are ready, ask an adult to take them out of the oven and lift them on to a wire rack to cool and harden.

Enjoy your Metamorphic Munchables.

38 is the answer...what is the question?

For your homework this week, I'd like you to make 10 facts with answers of 38!

• Aim for 10 facts.
• Try to include at least 1 question which uses each of the four operations (+ - x and divide).
• Try to have at least one fraction question.
• Try to have at least one money question.

If the calculation is complicated, show your workings (use grid method, a numberline or a compact vertical method).

This homework is due in on Monday, 26th April.

Homework – Learning Logs in Term 3

What an amazing set of Project homeworks (Learning Logs)!

I am so impressed with the effort which has obviously been put into these. Please let me know a parents' view on these pieces of homework or a view from a student.

The third project this term is Humanities based, exploring the events in a Pharaoh's life. Further details have been sent home with the children this afternoon.

This homework project is due on or before Friday 12^th June.

It remains incredibly important that the children continue reading everyday and the activities on Link and Learn can still be used to reinforce their number skills etc.

Spellings will still be given each week (not this week because of NCT testing) followed by a test the following week (so our next spelling test will be on Thursday 4th June).

Gymnastic Success

Well done to Lei for competing in her first Gymnastic competition this weekend. Also big congratulations go to Kristine for her medal winning performances. We are proud of your hard work and persistence.

Project Homework

Here are some of the projects which we picked to show you. We read each other's facts about the number 31 and then peer reviewed (we placed post-its with our comments). There were some very creative, informative, colourful and original pieces of work. Well done to everyone who completed the homework on time! The next project homework was set today and is to investigate animal teeth and their diet.You may find out about real animals, their diet and their teeth...or you may want to invent an animal of your choice with its own specialised teeth and diet.
