Today's Learning

Maths

We are continuing with converting units of measure today, but today we are looking at volume. The same method applies. There are 1000ml in 1 litre.

To convert millilitres into litres divide your number by 1000. On your place value grid move your digits 3 places to the right, don't forget your decimal point and any placeholders you might need. 

To convert litres to millilitres multiply your number by 1000. On your place value grid move your digits 3 places to the left, don't forget your decimal point and any placeholders you might need. 

Read through the Let's Learn pages below, complete your Guided Practice in your journals, then complete pages 133-134 in your workbook.

Watch the video below to see the calculations in action, you can stop watching at 2 minutes 50 seconds because you don't need to worry about centilitres today. Please show your calculations with a place value grid, not column method!

English

Today I would like you to write a story using the Cat's Eyes image as a starting point.  There is a story opener below, if you would prefer to write your own story opener you can 

In the inky blackness of the shadows, she blended in perfectly. Her saucer-like eyes and sleek whiskers were all that could be seen. She was deliberately hiding; her colour and keen sight were her greatest allies. What she had glimpsed at the other side of the candlelit room was troubling, and arching her back, she prepared to move in an instant…

Use your writing mat (from your packs) to support you when thinking about sentence structure, grammar and punctuation. 

Remember to -

 try and include some key narrative elements, such as: description of setting, description of character, action, dialogue and figurative language

 use perfect presentation when composing your writing 

 read back through your writing to check carefully that it makes sense to the reader

Reading

Read a chapter of your book. Can you find any -cious or -tious words? 

Science

Make and test some paper planes! Earlier in the year we studied forces, including air resistance and gravity. 

Visit https://www.foldnfly.com for some paper plane design ideas.

Choose a design and pick one thing to change, there are some examples below:

• the size of paper you use
• the size of the wings
• a bigger/smaller nose point (the tip at the front)
• folding your planes to have larger flaps at the sides

Does the variable that you have changed make a difference to how far or how fast your plane travels?

How could you measure this?

What will you keep the same to ensure that your test is fair?

Recording: In your journals list the variables that stayed the same and the variables you changed, explain how you compared your planes fairly. Use full sentences and remember your perfect presentation.
