Class 4 - Friday 15th May
12 May 2020
Good Morning Class 4
Happy Friday everyone! 
The end of another week, they seem to be going so fast!
It's the end of what would have been SATs week too, which means we would have been watching a movie and eating sweets together today...but instead I've got a day of activities for you! 
Ha ha! I'm sure we'll have the opportunity to do that again soon, and maybe your parents will let you have a couple of sweets today to make up for it! 
A joke to cheer you up....
'What did the left eye say to the right eye?'
Scroll to the bottom of the page for the answer.
I have been very impressed with the mymaths work this week. :) Yesterday, full marks went to Asa, Josh, Seth and Isabella. Thank you to those of you who sent me your explanation texts of the digestive system yesterday; they were excellent. A special mention to Tom C, Joel, Jasmine, Seth, Jacob, Rufus and Josh for their work.:) Finally, I have recieved so many menus and photos of the scrumptious food you have been cooking for your families. It all looks amazing, and I really wish you could come to my house to cook my tea!
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 task: 
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:

I have set you an activity for today. Year 5s yours is about improper and mixed number fractions, and Year 6s yours is about ordering and simplifying fractions. 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.
Spelling task: 
Please can you choose 5 words at random from the appropriate spelling list below. Please choose words that you haven't used before. I would like you to find out the meaning of your 5 words so that you fully understand them, and then I would like you to write a short tale or story that includes these 5 words. You need to use them in the correct context so that your tale makes sense.
I have set up a '2do' task on Purple Mash for this if you would like to do it on there, or you can do it in your exercise book. Please underline the 5 spellings (or write them in a different colour) and draw me a picture that links to the tale/story.

Writing task:
Hopefully, you'll find this writing task fun!
As you know, there are lots of different types of food available for people to eat in the UK. Think about all the fast food options, plus all the different restaurants, and all the different foods available at the supermarkets.
I would like you to write a rap about food! This could be about a particular food group, food from a favourite restaurant or your favourite meal; it's up to you! I would like you to write the rap, and then if you're feeling brave, you could perform it and send me a video...that bit is optional though!
I can't wait to read/ hear them!
Being kind...
Over the weekend, I would like you to make lunch for your family. Please do it safely though, and don't use any equipment that you're not allowed to use normally etc etc! I'm sure you making lunch will really make your family smile.
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 and a wonderful weekend. I'll speak to you all on Monday; missing you all.
Sending lots of love,
