Monday 22nd February

Welcome back Antelopes, we hope you had a great half term!

In this presentation, you will find your maths, English, reading and topic lessons for today. Please spend 30-40 minutes on each lesson. Have a

great day of learning.

Maths- This week, we are re-capping our place value skills. Have a think about what this means.

Place value

Place value is the value of each digit in a number. For example, the 5 in 350 represents 5 tens, or 50; however, the 5 in 5,006 represents 5 thousands, or 5,000

Maths- To recognise the value of digits and order and compare numbers.

This lesson will be taught on teams at 9am. You will need a pencil and a piece of paper.

Complete either challenge A or B. Try to challenge yourself. If you start on A you might want to move on and try some of

B. Challenge B also includes some decimals. We will be learning more about decimals in a couple of weeks

but have a try.

Handwriting challenge

Your challenge is to write a sentence about your half term in only 5 words. There has to be one interesting adjectiveand one interesting adverb in your 5 words.

For example- I skilfully flipped deliciouspancakes.

Please then write this sentence ten times in your neatest, cursive handwriting.

English- Using adverbs for cohesion (cause and contrast).

This lesson will be taught on teams at 11.30am. You will need: a pen and a piece of paper to write your sentences on.

Re-write/edit the sentences, adding adverbs to link the two sentences on each line. Remember to punctuate these with a comma.

For example

At the top and bottom of the escalator, the steps collapse on each other, creating a flat platform. This makes it easier to get on and off the escalator.

At the top and bottom of the escalator, the steps collapse on each other, creating a flat platform. Consequently, this makes it easier to get on and off the escalator.

How Alexa works

1. Amazon have built a natural-language processing system that is easy to interact with. It can be used by the

whole family.

2. It uses a wake word: “Alexa,”. This can be changed to “Echo,” “Amazon,” or “Computer.”

3. Once the wake word is said, the microphone is switched on. It transmits what is said to cloud computers for

quick analysis.

4. Users ask questions which are then processed by the computers. The Echo will answer the question in a female

voice.

5. The Echo does not only answer questions. It can play music, tell jokes and provide an alarm.

6. The Echo can be linked to other devices. It can be used to switch on lights, control the heating and even lock the

front door.

Re-write/edit the sentences, adding adverbs to link the two sentences on each line. Please write 2 or three sentences for each one and find different places to add an adverb in the same pair of sentences like the example below.

Remember to punctuate these with a comma and think about where the commas should go each time.

For example

• Amazon built a natural-language processing system that is easy to interact with. It can, therefore, be used by the whole family.

or

• Amazon built a natural-language processing system that is easy to interact with. It can be used by the whole family therefore.

or

• Amazon built a natural-language processing system that is easy to interact with. Therefore, it can be used by the whole family.

Remember the rules for your commas….

If the adverb is at the start of the sentence, it needs a comma after it.

Example- However, I never give out personal details, like my name.

If the adverb is in the middle of the sentence, it is separated by a pair of commas.

Example- My sister, meanwhile, prefers building games.

If the adverb is at the end, it does not usually need a comma.

Example- I mainly play at the weekendtherefore.

Geography- To understand what a coastline is and to learn about coastal features.

Think about these questions and jot down some of your thoughts.

• What is a coast?

• What do they look like? What image do you get in your head when you think of the coast?

• Have you ever been to the coast?

• What can you do at the coast?

• Does the coast look the same everywhere?

What is a coast?

The coast, also known as the coastline or seashore, is defined as the area where land meets the sea or ocean, or as a line that forms the boundary between the land and the ocean.

The length of the UK coastline is around 12,429 km or 7,723 miles and is very varied.

Below is a diagram of a coastline with different features. Have a go at labelling the features. See if there is any you know already before we learn about them in today’s lesson.

Coastline features -answers

Now we are going to learn about the different features and how they are formed. The photos will be from the UK.

Coasts are always changing

Coasts are made up of cliffs or beaches, or they might be built on to make costal villages, towns and harbours.

Waves in the sea, the current of the sea and the weather all has an effect on making the coastline like it is.

They cause erosion and weathering.

Erosion and weathering

Erosion- is a process where the rock or soil is worn away by natural forces such as wind or water.

We have already learnt about erosion in rivers causing meanders, oxbow lakes and waterfalls. Now we will look at how it affects the coastline.

Weathering- is the breaking down or dissolving of rocks and minerals by rainwater or extreme temperature.

For example- After really cold weather or snow the roads have more potholes. This is because water gets into cracks. The water then freezes when it is really cold and expands causing the crack to widen.

Bay and Headland

Man of War Bay- Dorset Portheras Cove Beach- Cornwall

The headlands then shelter the bay which means it is protected from further erosion. This means the sea is calmer and deposition happens (the dropping of sediment or sand) which causes beaches to form.

Please watch the video below for

further explanation on how Bays and

Headlands are formed.

Bays and Headlands: Landforms of Coastal Erosion –

YouTube

BeachesPorthcurno- Cornwall Bantham Beach- South Devon

Sand forms when rocks break down from weathering and eroding but it takes time for the rocks to decompose and create the sand that you will be thinking of.

Different beaches can show us the different stages of erosion as the rocks and shells break down over the hundreds, thousands and even millions of years. Have a look on the next slide to see different types of beaches in the UK where the rocks are at different stages of erosion.

Wind along the coast can blow sand inland, which, if obstructed, can then form piles of sand called dunes.

Tomorrow we will look at caves, arches, stacks and stumps

Task-Challenge 1Create a comic strip, on the sheet on the next slide, to explain how headlands and bays are formed. You need to put the captions below in the correct order and draw diagrams to match. Then, label your diagrams with words you have learnt in today’s lesson. Look back if you need help to remember.

Challenge B- Create a comic strip, on the sheet on the next slide, to explain bays and headlands are formed.

Use the keywords here to help you. Then, label your diagrams with key words, you can look back at the slides if you need a reminder buttry not to use the sentences in challenge A.
