Good Morning Class 4
I hope you're all feeling ok this morning? 
We're already half way through the week, not long until the weekend.
Today, it is riddle time...
'I'm tall when I am young and I am short when I am old. What am I?'
And no...it is not an old person who has shrunk!! I will let you know the answer tomorrow. Feel free to email me if you think you've worked it out.
Here are the answers to yesterday's grammar activities:
-Year 5 grammar 5 answers.docx-
-Year 6 grammar 5 answers.docx-
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. 
PE:
Have a look at the below link. There are lots of ideas for different PE type activities that you could do at home; give one a go!

Reading is the most important task I put on here so please make sure you do it, even if you don't do everything else!
Your reading task is 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:

Maths task:
I have uploaded a maths question sheet for each year group today. Click on the correct one for you below:
-Year 5 Maths 4.docx-
-Year 6 Maths 4.docx-
You can write your answers straight into your exercise book or you can print the sheet off and fill it in. I will put the answers up tomorrow so you can see how you've got on.
Spelling task: 
I would like you to choose 5 words from the appropriate spelling list. I would then like you to write a synonym and an antonym of each word. I would also like you to write a sentence to explain the meaning of each word.

-KS3-Spelling-Lists.pdf-
-2nd 100 high frequency words .pdf-
Writing task:
Today, I would like you to write a recipe for a healthier option pizza. I love pizza! It is possibly my favourite food, but it isn't very healthy! See if you can design and possibly make, a healthier one.
You need to research which ingredients you could switch so that the pizza is better for us, but still yummy. You need to create an ingredient list and a design for your pizza.
You can write this in your exercise books, or on word, or I have set up a '2do' on Purple Mash if you would like to do it on there.

Being kind...
I am sure you are all being kind every day, but make an extra effort to make sure you do something lovely today. It can be anything, but it will make someone smile, and that's the main thing!
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 wonderful day. Missing you all.
