Yesterday everyone carried out some amazing investigations. I really enjoyed seeing the photos of you estimating and carefully pouring the water into different sized containers.
Today we are going to look at measuring in millilitres (ml). Click on the link below to head to the BBC Bite Size website.
Activity 1: Can you be a measurement detective?
With the help of someone at home, look around your home for objects which hold up to 1liter e.g. a drinks bottle. I wonder how many you can find?
Can you find a container that holds 500ml?
Can you find a container that holds exactly 1l?
Which container holds the most/least?

As you try new sports and physical activities, think about the equipment you use. How does it help you to play? How does it help you to improve?
Today’s challenge is to design a new piece of sporting equipment so you can think about what small changes help you to achieve your personal best.
Choose a sport that uses some equipment. You may choose one you play already, or you can find out about a new sport.
Think about the equipment:
How is it used? What size is it? What shape is it? Is the colour important? What materials is it made from?
Now think of how you could make small changes to improve the equipment so that it:

Read the information to find all about the features of poetry, then have a look at the counting poem from Oxford Owl. I have attached this and uploaded it to Showbie to help inspire you!
Activity 1: Imagine you are a teacher and you are teaching someone how to write an exciting sentence. Start by thinking about three things that you should always do when writing a sentence, you could write these down, or just tell someone at home. Then think of two more tips explaining what you think makes a sentence sound exciting, e.g. using adjectives to add description.
Activity 2: Take a look at the incomplete poem and see if you can add in words to complete it! I have also attached this and uploaded it to Showbie.
Activity 3: Now have a go at writing your own poem that counts up to, or backwards from ten! It could be about absolutely anything and can be as silly as you like.

Activity 1: Take a piece of paper and create eight sections. Think of eight words that featured in the Small Town Superheroes game and write one word in each of the eight sections. Using your word selection, can you write a question that contains each of the words? Don’t forget to use correct punctuation.
Activity 2: Writing silly questions
Start off by creating a list of different words that can be used to start a question. Try to think of at least ten different words e.g. who, can, could, where…
Once you’ve listed your words, try creating a sentence with each of them. Your sentences can be as silly as you like e.g. Can you close the chair? Could you sit on the door?
Activity 3: Writing questions to a particular person
If you could ask eight people a special question, who would you pick and what would you ask them? Create a gird like the one below and write a list of names, followed by the question that you would like to ask them.
You could pick people you know, or choose some people who you admire, like a famous author, sports star or even your favourite superhero. Don’t forget your question marks!

‘Arrival of the Bridegroom’ 1933
What do you notice about this picture? Why do you think those colours are used? What do you think about it and why?
Your challenge today is to take your pencil for a walk to create your own interpretation of this picture. Below is a link, which shows you how Klee created this picture. Remember, it’s your interpreation, so you can use different colour patterns.
https://artprojectsforkids.org/paul-klee-drawing/
Or
‘The Goldfish’ 1925
Look at the picture. What effect does the dark background have? There are lots of fish, how do you think the other fish feel about the goldfish? What makes the goldfish stand-out? What techniques you think Klee might have used to create the goldfish painting?
Read the following link with information about this picture http://www.artchive.com/1925/klee.html
If you have them you could use wax crayons or oil pastels to cover the whole page in a mix of bright colours, then cover the page with black oil pastel so there’s no colour seen. Using a paperclip that has been unravelled, scratch at the page to make a shape and the colour will be revealed. Remember to be safe when using this!
Or you could create a drawing with bright coloured wax crayon or oil pastels, where there are some white bits left. Using a black water colour, brush over the page to create the background – the oil should resist the paint and show up.
If you don’t have any of these, no problem, simply using colouring pencils, felt tips, paints, sharpies, whatever you have that can be used to create colour and away you go.
We have been creating different types of art using Klee’s styles. Pick your favourite piece and tell me why your prefer it? Which was the easiest to create and why? Which had the nicest effect and what made it so good?

Your task today is to map your local wildlife. You could do this anywhere- on a walk, in your garden or even looking out of your window.
On paper, draw a rough sketch map of the area you are going to explore, and map where you see the wildlife. Think about the key features of the area e.g. river, grass, bird feeder, bushes, trees, flowers, ponds and draw these on to your map first…
Below is an idea of what a sketch map might look like… you do not need to include street names in your map as it is likely to be a smaller area!
As you explore, note down the wildlife that you see and label it! For example, if I saw a dragonfly by the pond, I would mark the pond with an X and draw or write ‘dragonfly’.

Today we are going to be doing some more work on commands. Work your way through the learn screens and have a go at some of the activities.
Imagine you are the captain of a pirate ship. Arrghhh. You'll need to be very bossy and give lots of commands to make sure the other pirates are doing what they are meant to be doing.
Write four command sentences that a pirate would use.
Here are a couple of examples to help you:
Drop the anchor and load the cannons.
Collect my treasure and bring it to me.
Think about people who need to use commands in their job.
Mums and Dads give commands all the time, so do teachers, police officers, chefs, doctors, hair dressers and even football managers.
1. Pick a job and imagine you are training somebody new to do that job.
2. Write the title 'How to be the perfect _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _'
3. Under the title, write five command sentences explaining what they need to do.

Creative Afternoon
Our last significant person of the week is Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Mozart was born in Austria and he was a talented musician and composer. He was so gifted that he began to play the keyboard at the age of 3 and started to write his own music at the age of 5! Mozart’s music is still listened to today, I wonder if you will recognise any of his music?
Find out more about him and listen to some of his music by clicking on the link below.

Today we are going to have a go at writing some diary entries.
Follow the link to take you to the BBC Bitesize website.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zvr6pg8
Activity 2: Think about the different things that you have done over the past week. This could be things that you have seen, things that you have heard or even school work you have done.
Then, take a piece of paper and fold it into 4 sections. Label each section with a different day of the week – don’t forget your capital letter! Then in each section, write four things that you did that day. You could even try to circle the verbs that you have used.
Activity 3: Now using your plan, create a diary entry that outlines the things that you’ve done over the past week. If you can’t remember what you did, you can include things that you would have liked to do!

Using plain paper and pencil try sketching an ammonite. Look carefully at the patterns you can see and remember to press lightly whilst you sketch. To create darker tones, add some pressure to your pencil!
Or
Make your own fossils by making some salt dough and pressing small objects into it to create an imprint. Then bake them in the oven. You could even paint them or colour them in to looking like real fossils!
