Home Learning Blog – Friday, 15^th May

Welcome back. Here are today’s lessons:

English:

LO: Writing a powerful speech

• https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/znvxt39
• Read the information, watch the videos, and complete the activities.
• Activity 2 asks you to write a speech about the importance of friends and friendship, but you may write an informative speech on another topic if you wish – perhaps an interest of yours, or something you know a lot about.
• Just be sure to use the ‘A FOREST’ acronym to help guide your writing.

Maths:

LO: Calculating the area of a 2D shape

• https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zh9brj6
• Read the information, watch the videos, and complete the worksheet.
• In this worksheet, ‘breadth’ means the same as ‘width’.
• Rectangles are rather easy to find the area of, as we simply multiply the length by the width to find the area, which is measured in cm2.

Handwriting:

• As before, choose 8 words from the list attached below, and write them out in your best handwriting. Please fill one entire line for each word that you choose.

That’s all for now. Have a lovely weekend.
