I hope you’ve all had a good Easter.
This term, the set up of our activities has changed slightly – as I’m looking to try and include some of the content which had not yet been covered in school this year. This will be most noticeable in maths, where there will be a video for you to watch and some activities to follow. Year 5 and Year 6 will have different videos/activities to complete – it is important you stick to your year group. The Year 5s’ activities will, to begin with, be a recap of some of the work we did before the school closure. There will still be some EBM questions and, if you’re still up for some more maths after you’ve done your activities, there will still be some bar model questions available as an extension task.
I’ve tried to make this as easy as possible to follow and will try to include everything needed on a single post. If you have any questions about anything, feel free to email me (class4@brownclee.shropshire.sch.uk).
Although a new “maths lesson” will be available every day, please don’t feel pressured to keep up – especially if you feel that you need to spend more than one day on a session.
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 or videos of some of the other things you have been doing at home.

Reading
As always, you should be regularly reading your own reading books; however, the author and publisher of last term’s class read (Pax) have given permission to do some readings. To start with, I thought it would best if we recapped what had happened so far (as it was over 4 weeks since we last read it together). Starting from tomorrow, I will include a video of a reading from Pax.
Fitting with the theme of foxes, here’s a short animation called “A Fox and A Mouse”.
After watching this video, see if you can answer these questions:
1.) At the start of the clip, what did you think the fox was trying to do to the mouse?
2.) What made you think this?
3.) How was this different to how you felt at the end of the clip?
4.) In this clip, what could the fox do that the mouse couldn’t?
5.) In this clip, what could the mouse do that the fox couldn’t?
6.) What country do you think this animation is set in? Explain your answer.
7.) Choose one word to describe each of the characters.
Science
Our science topic for this term is going to be “Living Things and their Habitats”, so it would be fantastic if you want to do anything outdoors at home to do with living things and the habitats in which they live in. Remember to send in any photos you wish to share.
To get you started, here is a couple of vocabulary jigsaws on living things and their habitats. Don’t worry if you find these tricky (particularly the second one); we’ll try and cover some of the aspects over the rest of the term.
