Good morning.
As mentioned, the plan with our activities over the next week will be to focus on practising key skills to help prepare for the return back to school.
Here is a basic overview of the week. As always, you don’t need to follow this if you don’t wish to.
Maths
Today’s focused practice is on how we can use our understanding of inverse to quickly solve problems. You should be trying to do these in your head (rather than using a written method.
Inverse
I would like you all to have a go at Q1 and 2 of the extension questions. For those of you feeling up for a challenge, you could also have a go at Q3 and 4. If you’re feeling extra ambitious, you could also have a go at the challenge question.
Barvember Q1-4 and Challenge
English
Today in English, we are going to look at some sentence skills:

Science
Start this video at 10:58 (that is where we finished it last week). You will be doing the same thing as last week – except you will be looking at the second half of the video.
Here are your questions to focus on.
Questions on State of matter video – P2
Remember, you are focusing on your attention and listening skills. You can pause and rewind the video if you need to.
Physical Activity
As mentioned last week, we won’t be doing P.E. this week. However, it would be great if you could do some additional physical activity each day.
For your daily physical activity, I would like you to run, cycle or walk every day (it could just be around your garden – even if it’s quite small!). Then, if you could send me in the distance you have completed (it could be an estimate if you’re not sure), that would be great. A picture of you completing your activity would also be great if you can! The recommended daily physical activity for children (aged 6-17) is at least 60 minutes over a whole day, so for this particular physical activity you could aim for at least 30 minutes.
