Welcome to Day 1 of your home learning journey! I’m going to explain today’s tasks below. Remember, all written components should be completed in your home learning book – grammar, maths, English, and any topic-related work. Please write the Learning Objective (LO) and date, just like we do in school.

• English: Open the uploaded document
  • LO: Using adverbials to give verbs more detail
  • Follow the instructions on the document and complete the tasks.
    • The answers are located at the bottom. Please try not to peek until you’ve finished! If you’re stuck, feel free to check your answers as you go.
  • Remember: Adverbials are words that give more detail to a verb (a doing word.)
    • Example: The girl ran with great speed.
    • ‘With great speed’ is the adverbial, because it tells us how the girl ran.

• Maths: Open the uploaded document
  • LO: Addition and subtraction using column method
  • Addition and subtraction calculations. Use the method of your choice – mentally, or column method.
  • Think: Remember, a number that reads the same forwards and backwards is called a ‘palindrome’

• Geography:
  • LO: Researching the tallest mountain in the world
  • It’s a well-known fact that Mount Everest is the tallest mountain in the world. Using the internet, answer these questions:
    • Who were the first 2 people to climb it?
    • Between what 2 countries is Mount Everest located?
    • Who has climbed Mount Everest the most times?
    • What is the height of Mount Everest?
    • List 3 more interesting facts about Mount Everest.

• Art/Geography:
  • LO: Creating a fact poster of Mount Everest
  • Using the facts that you learned from researching Mount Everest, create a visual poster displaying them all.
  • You may do this on a separate piece of paper, or in your home learning book. Whichever you prefer!

Enjoy!
