Daily Learning Blog – Thursday, 4^th June

Welcome back everyone. Here are the lessons for the day:

English:

LO: Writing the middle of a story

• Lesson 9 of the Black Dog literacy unit
• Link: https://youtu.be/ltB-5Gi6R20

Maths

LO: Solving problems with fractions

• https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/z76qmfr
• Today’s focus is solving word problems that involve fractions.
• You will be using the skills you have developed over the last several lessons to answer the questions.
• Watch the video and complete the 2 activities.

Science

New Unit: Animals including humans

• In this unit, we will be learning about living things – both animals and humans. Although we consider ourselves very different to animals, on a scientific level we are very similar.
• Today, we are going to look at details about mammals.
• There has been an activity assigned to you on Busy Things. Log in to access it.
• You will need to sort the statements into ‘never true, sometimes true, mostly true, always true’
• Some of the statements might surprise you! Once you click the ‘mark’ button, if you get any wrong, try to find out where they belong – this is where the learning happens.
• If one of the statements surprises you, do some internet research to find out about, for example, a mammal that lays eggs!

French

LO: Food likes and dislikes

• Open the document at the bottom of the blog post
• You will see various types of food, and 2 large circles that show ‘j’aime’ and ‘je n’aime pas’
  • J’aime = I like
  • Je n’aime pas = I don’t like
• You will need to write sentences in French saying that you like or don’t like each of the foods
• You should end up with 7 different sentences – one for each food.

That’s all for today! I look forward to having you back tomorrow.

Fun fact of the day: In 2019, it was estimated that 68 million people visited a McDonalds every single day – that’s more than the population of the entire UK.
