Before you start today, check out Friday’s answers.

As always, you don’t have to do these activities at a set time or in a set order – that’s all up to you. Also, you don’t have to be doing work all day! Feel free to send in some pictures of videos of some of the other things you have been doing at home.

There will be 3 hive games today:

Game 1 (slightly easier) – 1:00pm – 324443
Game 2 (slightly harder) – 1:10pm – 233554
Game 3 (hard) – 1:20pm – 552843

Today’s games will be open to Class 3 again.

Reading

Today’s task is to create a quiz based on the book you are currently reading. The questions for this quiz should be based on what you have read yourself so far.

Aim for at least 10 questions for your quiz and try to make sure you vary the type of question your asking – don’t just go for all simple fact recall questions (e.g. In chapter 3, what was the teacher’s name?).You could include questions which:

– ask opinions and explanations (e.g. Based on chapter 3, who was your favourite character and why?)

– ask for evidence (e.g. Based on page 8,  what makes you think Ellie is a brave character?)

– tick box questions (e.g. true or false)

– language questions (e.g. find and copy a word from page 12 which means happy)

Science 

Find a living organism (e.g. a tree, flower, insect) and make an observational drawing of it (i.e. sketch what you see). Try and make your sketch as accurate and detailed as possible.

Feel free to do more than one of these – if you wish.

First of all, here’s some clues/a starting point if you’re stuck on the challenge question:

The most useful clue to start with is that the Irishman lives in the first house. Therefore, he cannot live in any of the other four houses, can’t be a bus driver (as the American is), can ‘t drink tea (because the Welshman does) and can’t have dogs (because the Scotsman does).

The 2nd most useful clue is that the Irishman lives next door to the blue house – and, as the the Irishman is in the first house, the 2nd house must be blue. If the 2nd house is blue, all the rest can’t be blue and the Englishman can’t live in the 2nd house as his house is red.

Here’s the start of my workings:

Secondly, a reminder that if you want to take part in any of our Hive Games today, the codes / times are below:

A quick heads up for question 3 on the blue sheet – as we hadn’t yet covered this at school this year yet – the angles inside a triangle add up to 180°. The inside angles in a square are 90°. If you’re not sure, it doesn’t matter – you don’t have to complete every question – but it’d be great if you gave it a go.

Challenge of the day

Today’s challenge is a variation on a famous puzzle called “Einstein’s Riddle”.

To help you with this puzzle, here’s a grid to help structure your ideas:

What you need to do is work out:
– Which man lives in which house?
– Which man drinks which drink?
– Which man has which pet?
– Which man has which job?

I’d also suggest drawing a row of five boxes (each represent each house) to help with this – as the houses in the grid above are not in the correct order. You’ve got lots to work out with this challenge – so be patient!

Writing

You should all be close to finishing your newspaper article. When you do, you can have a go with this:
choose a character from any book, story or film and write a small (about half a page) character description about them. You can draw a picture of them if you like. Your character doesn’t necessarily have to be human.

P.E.

Keep sending me your attempts at the P.E. challenge!

Art/Dance/Music

This one is very open ended. I would like you to produce a piece of art (which could even be dance or music) on whatever you want using whatever you want. It could be a drawing, painting, a sculpture, a piece of music being played, a dance, a picture made from leaves or whatever you can come up with.

Be as creative as you wish!

Remember, if you missed an activity from a previous day, and feel like doing it today, you can do so and send me a picture. I’ll keep updating the class page with all your fantastic work which is being sent in!

I hope you’re all doing well. Hopefully, we’ll all be back in school as soon as possible!

Here’s my attempt at today’s PE challenge (or should I say Lexie’s).

20200325_153354000_iOS

I’ve had a few videos in. If you can keep sending more throughout this week and next, I’ll start posting them on the website (if you’re happy for me to). If you want to send in more than one video, please feel free. The most I’ve had so far is 40 from Alex with a tennis racket and ball!

Game 1: top 3
1.) Elliot
2.) Bebe
3.) Leia

Game 2: top 3
1.) Samuel
2.) Bebe
3.) Leia

Remember, these Hive Games will only show the top 3 – not everyone taking part.

I’m going to trial doing the hive games a different way tomorrow. There will be three games – each game will get slightly more difficult. You can take part in as many as you like – as they all start at different times. The times and codes for each is below

Game 1 (slightly easier) – 1:00pm – 594304
Game 2 (slightly harder) – 1:10pm – 799752
Game 3 (hard) – 1:20pm – 388369

You can join any of these hive games at any point; however, the game will not start until the time above, so make sure you’re ready to join in time.

Here’s some more work from yesterday sent in by Chloe and Ellowyne

Challenge of the day update: 
Miss Relph has already sent in the correct answer to the first part of our challenge!

Also, Mrs. Fox has discovered that Audible (Amazon) are offering access to hundreds of free audiobooks! I’ve spotted three great books in there already (Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, White Fang and Anne of Green Gables). There’s no sign-up required – just head to https://stories.audible.com/start-listen.

There will be another Hive Game this afternoon: the code will be up at 12:55pm and the game will start at 1:05pm – make sure you’re on the waiting screen at 1:05pm (otherwise you’ll miss the start!!)

As always, if you wish, send me in any question or pictures of what you’re doing at home.

Before you start today’s work, check out yesterday’s answers.

As always, you don’t have to do these activities at a set time or in a set order. There will be another hive game – same time as before: the code will be up on the website at 12:55pm and I will start it at 1:05pm.

We could do with some more running/walking distances to reach our target – we still have 400 miles to go!

Keep on emailing me any questions and pictures!

Before you start this one, the circles are the “nodes” and the “edges” are the lines between the circles.

If you finished the first, have a go at this one:

English

Sentence / Fragment / Run-on

Remember, a fragment is part of a sentence (or an incomplete idea) and a run-on is when there are two (or more) sentences not separated by a full stop.

1.) The fox stood proudly.
2.) Until Alva gets here.
3.) Are you there?
4.) Running quickly.
5.) As quick as a flash.
6.) She’s my best friend, we have been since I was 5.
7.) Whilst you’re swimming, your brother will be playing hockey.
8.) There’s a snake in my shoe, I hope it’s not poisonous.
9.) Pizza is my favourite food it tastes delicious.
10.) The plant, which was a eerie shade of purple.

Writing

Some of you have finished your newspaper articles. If you haven’t sent me yours yet, I’d love see them.

If you do finish your newspaper article, you can have a go with this: choose a character from any book, story or film and write a small (about half a page) character description about them. You can draw a picture of them if you like. Your character doesn’t necessarily have to be human.

P.E.

You have two tasks for P.E..

Task 1

Your first is to research any sport (e.g. sprinting, skiing, badminton, shot put, swimming, show jumping) and design an exercise circuit.

Here’s two examples of circuits (the first for netball and the second for football):

Think about:
–  what type of exercises they would need to do for their sport
–  how long they need to do each exercise for (do they need short fast bursts or longer slower one)
–  how many activities you wish them to do (aim for at least 7)
– how you’re going to show this (you could draw pictures with small captions next to them)

Task 2

Your second task is a physical one. You need to film yourself keeping a ball in the air without it falling to the ground as many times as you can and send me the video – and the amount of times you kept it up!

The rules:
– you have to be hitting the object to keep it up (you could be using your arms/hands, head, feet, a tennis racket, a cricket bat or a combination of more than one thing)
– you don’t have to send me the first video you do – you can have practice goes
– the ball can be any size you want it to be . If you can’t use a ball, you can use something which is like a ball – except for a balloon…

Here’s a clip of tennis player, Rafael Nadal, keeping up a tennis ball (yours doesn’t need to be this good!)

Here’s a clip of footballers, Neymar and Messi, keeping up footballs.

If you can’t send a video, a picture would be fantastic instead!

Keep up the fantastic work – and keep on sending me what you’ve been doing at home – I especially look forward to seeing your PE challenge attempts.

I have another hive game planned for today.

It will be the same time as yesterday’s: the code will be up at 12:55 and the game will start at 13:05. For those who have already emailed me today or yesterday, I will also send the code to those email addresses.

I have a had few questions about the Geography work for today – this will take quite a while to complete (I’d say at least an hour).

I’ve had some brilliant ideas and suggestions about the challenge questions – well done to Ben, Alex and Samuel who had some particularly creative solutions. Same as yesterday, I will post the relevant answers to all of today’s activities tomorrow morning for you to check. If you email me in your work, I can help with any errors then and there

This was the start of Alex’s working for the challenge question about the farmer:
