Reading

Tomorrow is the 75^th anniversary of Victory in Europe Day, which marked the end of the fighting in Europe during the second world war.  Today your reading task is about ‘VE Day’ (See the ‘files to download' section)

Once you have read the text try answering the questions. Record your answers using full sentences in your home learning book.

Spelling Task

Using your spellings from Monday complete the dictation sentences. The sentences are in the ‘files to download’ section on the website. Ask an adult to read each sentence to you and you need to write it in your home learning book.

Maths Task

Have a look at the lesson notes to find out the skills you need to use to complete the pages in the workbook. Today is a little bit of a challenge as we have almost finished perimeter. In some of the shapes you haven't been given the lengths of all the sides so you need to use all the information you are given to find the missing lengths first. Also think about the properties of a shape as this might help you. For example you know a square has four sides the same length. Have a go but if you find it tricky then don't worry 

Complete pages 202 and 203 in your Maths No Problem workbook.

(Please only complete the pages we are giving you as we will be using the books for other lessons when we return to school).

Once you have finished you can use the answers to check if you are correct.

Times Table Rock Stars

Spend 15 minutes practising your times tables.

Topic

For your Geography task this week, we are going to look at map co-ordinates.These are used to plot or find objects and places on a map.

To introduce this idea, you are going to use the pirate treasure map attached – there are three different levels for you to choose from (the star at the top of the sheet will help you to decide.  1 star = an easier map and 3 stars = a trickier map).

The letter usually comes first in co-ordinates, so go along the bottom of the map first and then up the map using the numbers (You can remember this with the phrase ‘go in the house and then up the stairs’)

Using the map, write what is at each co-ordinate first, then write the co-ordinates for the given objects in your home learning books. If you can print the map off, you can draw a cross at each of the co-ordinates from the final box.

If you have enjoyed this task, maybe you could create your own treasure map grid in your home learning book, with co-ordinates and objects for a member of your family to find. Or, ask an adult to show you how to play ‘battleships’  - this game uses co-ordinates too!
