Maths

LO: Converting improper fractions to mixed numbers

• https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/z4ypscw
• We have looked at this topic before, where we have an improper fraction (the numerator is greater than the denominator), and we want to change it into a mixed number (uses both whole numbers and fractions).
• Watch the videos, and complete the 2 worksheets in your home learning book.

History

LO: Mayan Religion and Gods

• Open the powerpoint presentation at the bottom of the blog page, and read about some of the Mayan gods.
• Task: I would like you to create your own Mayan god. Here’s what I’d like you to come up with:
  • What the god is in charge of – it could be weather, crops, day/night, or something else. Think about other ancient gods you have learned about in previous years to give you some ideas
  • Name of your god
  • Draw an example of a temple that might have been built to honour it.
  • Each god has a good side and an evil side – how might your god be both good and bad?
  • Draw what your god looks like – use the examples provided in the slide show to give you some ideas.
  • Any other interesting facts or details that might make your god interesting, powerful, or unique.

Science

LO: Learning about Jane Goodall

• Jane Goodall is an English scientist who is famous for studying chimpanzees in Africa.
• https://www.ducksters.com/biography/scientists/jane_goodall.php
• Follow the link, read the biography, and answer the 10 question quiz at the bottom of the page.
• In your home learning books, write the 10 answers (you’ll get the correct answers after you complete the quiz, so you’ll know which facts to write.)

That’s it for today :)
