ENGLISH

TODAY IS WORLD BOOK DAY!

In order to celebrate this special day we will have different types of learning in our English lesson today. There are 4 tasks to complete:

TASK 1: Read and Relax

Most importantly, as it is World Book Day, spend 20 minutes of your English lesson reading - log on to getepic and increase our total number of books. 

TASK 2: Scavenger Hunt!

You will need a selection of books to complete this task. Use books from your house or books on getepic. There are 10 things to find inside your books, for example, a simile. When you have found it, write down the title of the book and the page number where you got it from. Click on the worksheet below to discover your 10 items to find and how to record your answers. (Don't complete the writing superchallenge on page 3).

TASK 3: Book Mark

Click on the documents below to choose a bookmark to colour and complete. There are blank ones where you can make your own design or ones with patterns to colour. You can print them out or even just use a piece of paper to design and colour your own. Bring your bookmark back to school next week and I will laminate them for you to use when you are reading. 

TASK 4: Kahoot Quiz

Click on the link below which takes you to a World Book Day Quiz. Remember to type your first name and you are allowed 3 goes. Enjoy!

Maths L.O Prime Numbers

Today you are going to learn what a prime number is and work out all the prime numbers from 1-100. Read through the slides which will explain what you need to do. 

You will need to draw a 100 square in your book to do this activity. 

If you are finding this task hard to understand there is a video that shows you how to do it. There is also a link to a song about PRIME NUMBERS. 

Science L.O Who is Mary Anning?

Today we are going to learn about a famous scientist called Mary Anning. She was one of the best  palaeontologist ever. She was born in 1799, that's 222 years ago. At that time women were not taken seriously as scientists so not many people have heard of her. 

She regularly risked her life in her hunt for fossils, making discoveries that captured the attention of other scientists. She never received the credit she deserved because she was a female and her family didn't have a lot of money.

In 1811, at the age of just 12, Mary discovered a 5.2m (17ft) skeleton, now known to be an ichthyosaur. Twelve years later, she found the first complete skeleton of a plesiosaur, a marine reptile so bizarre that scientists thought it was a fake.

Your Task
