Home Learning for Thursday 2nd November 2023

All the files you need for these tasks can be found at the bottom of the page. 

Reading

Please read the text 'Ancient Egypt' and answer the questions. Use the answer sheet to check your work. 

If you find this text tricky to read by yourself and an adult is not available to read it to you, try one of the phonics comprehensions instead. 

English

Task – To produce a short poem describing the rain using personification and first person pronouns (‘I”).

Please see the file below for instructions on how to complete this task. 

Maths

For today's school closure you will have two maths tasks to complete. You can do this by editing the document online, downloading and printing it off or writing your answers out on paper. (We know this may prove difficult as you will have access to different resources at home so please just try your best). 

The tasks are based on your geometry learning from last year. This will act as an opportunity for retrieval practice and provide an opportunity to secure the objectives from last year before moving on to this year's geometry objectives. 

Task 1: Recognise and describe 2D shapes

Please watch the following video and complete the corresponding worksheet. 
(If you cannot edit the worksheet or print it out at home, try your best to write out the answers on a piece of paper).

Please watch the following video and complete the corresponding worksheet. 
(If you cannot edit the worksheet or print it out at home, try your best to write out the answers on a piece of paper).

Additional tasks: Optional

1) Go on a shape hunt at home. Search for different 2D and 3D shapes around your home- perhaps use a camera to take photos of them. 
2) Draw a picture using a range of 2D shapes- you could draw around objects that you can find around your home e.g. a cup for a circle and a small box for a rectangle.
