'Why are fish so smart?'
(Scroll to the bottom of the page for the answer. )
Wonderful work yesterday Class 4. Thank you so much for writing your postcards to me. It was really lovely to hear what you've been up to, and it sounds like you've all been very busy! I also received a number of menus for the meals you were cooking for your families last night; they sounded very yummy! I also saw some great work on the amount of sugar in different food items. Well done all!
These are your tasks for today. Remember, you can do the tasks in any order, and you don't have to do everything if you don't have time.

Reading task:
As you know, reading is the activity that I believe is the most important. I really hope that you are all reading every day.
As usual, I would like you to read for 30 minutes today. You should use your reading book for AR. Remember, when you complete a book, you can still do your AR quiz as you normally would at school. Follow the link below:

I have set you an activity for today. Year 5s yours is about interpreting remainders, and Year 6s yours is about increasing and decreasing percentages. Remember to go through the lesson before you do the questions. If you find it difficult, you can go back to the lesson and have another go at the questions. I will be checking how you're getting on as the day goes on.
Grammar task: 
I have attached a link to two grammar activity sheets. There is one for each year group and so please choose the one which is appropriate to you. You can record the answers in your exercise book, and I will put the answers up tomorrow so that you can mark what you have done.

Being kind...
What could you do today to be helpful? I would like you to do something that will help your Mum or Dad. It could be as simple as tidying up your room, or you could help to prepare a meal, or peg the washing out. Choose something that will be helpful.
Learning project:
The focus for this week's project is 'food'.
The projects this week aim to provide opportunities for you to learn more about food. Learning may focus on where different foods originate from, what makes a healthy meal, opportunities to cook etc.
This afternoon, either carry on with the project you started yesterday or start a new one. 
Which Foods Contain the Most Sugar? You should choose a selection of food items from the food cupboard, fridge and freezer. You should then identify the nutritional label and record the amount of sugar that each food contains. Once you have gathered the information, record the sugar contents on a pie chart and evaluate the data. How will your findings change what you eat?
Plough to Plate- Choose a food from any of the 6 main food groups.Then locate the country/countries of origin on a world map and work out how far the food item travels to get to your plate. Following this, you should sketch a diagram detailing the journey the food has taken and add captions and timeframes. What could we do to reduce how many miles our food travels?
Creative Creations- Cadburys are launching a new chocolate bar. You will create a criteria for Cadbury chocolate packaging by researching current Cadbury products. Once you have a criteria, you will use this to design your own packaging (you may want to do this on a computer if you have access to one). Finally, gather some feedback from your family about the design. Use the feedback to adapt and refine the design. After creating the chocolate bar, you can then compose a jingle that could be used in an advert. This could be created by using household items such as pots and pans or by using these virtual instruments.
Come Dine with Me - You are responsible for creating a three course meal for four family members. You need to create the recipes for a starter, main meal and dessert. Think about what ingredients you will need to make your recipe and write a shopping list of items. You should then research how much the ingredients will cost using a supermarket website of your choice. Where is the most cost effective place to buy the ingredients? You could then test out a recipe by making it for dinner that evening. Family members may even wish to score each course!
A Balanced Diet - Think about the food a toddler might eat compared to an adult athlete. You will then choose five different types of people (e.g. a child, teenager, athlete, teacher etc.) and draw a plate of food that will ensure they are eating a healthy, balanced diet. Underneath each plate, you must justify why you have chosen these foods. Think about the calorie intake each of these individuals might need. Can some people have more of one type of food group? If yes, why can they?
Have a great day everyone.
Missing you
