Today is our last lesson on Measuring Area and Perimeter so we will be having a go at a Mind Workout activity. If you have some squared paper or a ruler you might like to explore the task practically and make each of the shapes to help with you thinking. Remember you are calculating the perimeter which is the measurement around the outside of each shape. There is also a Mind Workout worksheet to try on page 151 of your workbook - the answers are at the bottom of the page.

Earlier this week we were using the word or the day 'timid' in 3 sentences of our own. Today I would like you to use a dictionary to find 5 antonyms for the word timid. You can use a dictionary of your own or an online dictionary to help you. Remember an antonym is a word with an opposite meaning - for example the antonym of hot is cold, the antonym of long is short, the antonym of happy is sad.

Topic
Explorers were expected to discover new lands, break records and map the world for future travellers. It was a dangerous but exhilarating opportunity for adventurers, whatever their social class, to advance scientific knowledge, acquire new mineral and agricultural resources and to make their own fortunes. Still, even those that succeeded often paid for their bravery with their lives. Sir Francis Drake was one of many famous British explorers. Take a look at the tasks below and select 3 to complete in your Home Learning Jorunal.
