English LO: and challenges Choose your challenge Challenge 1- mild Challenge 2- spicy Challenge 3- hot

2 weeks ago, you made some amazing sea creatures, we were so impressed with them! Our English focus today is to write some instructions on how you made them. Challenge 1: Can you write the initial sounds for some of the materials you used? Challenge 2: See if you can write 3 or more of the materials you used. Challenge 3: Write a short sentence, explaining what you used to make your sea creature. e.g. I made an octopus and I used ______

Note: if you did not get round to making a sea creature- maybe plan out what you could use and what you would make.

Maths LO: and challenges

Today we are going to begin some new learning about time. Follow this lesson from Oak Academy; https://classroom.thenational.academy/lessons/using-ordinal-language-when-sequencing-events-and-measure-short-periods-of-time-6nh6at?activity=video&step=1 Pick a challenge to complete: Challenge 1: With help from your grown-ups, time yourself completing different activities like brushing your teeth, getting dressed, eating your dinner etc. Challenge 2: See if you can predict how long it will take you to do some simple activities like the ones above and then time them to see if you were right. Challenge 3: Download the time matching cards. See if you can think about how long the different activities may be. If you don’t have a printer, match them to the right answer from here:

30 minutes 5 days 2 weeks 1 second 1 hour 6 days 3 hours 20 minutes 2 hours 2 minutes 2 days


Under the Sea topic (DT):

There are 2 options for DT this week, you can decide when you would like to complete one of the following (to give you time to obtain materials if you would like to) Option 1: The Paddle boat challenge (see the download page)

Option 2: Colour a whole sheet of paper in wax crayon, front and back and then use the template to make a paper boat. Test it to see if the wax has made it waterproof.
