The Iron Man
Read part of Chapter 5.
Can you write instructions for putting the Iron Man back together again once he has reached Australia?
Make sure that you use imperative verbs (they are the bossy ones) and also some time adverbials - first, then, next, after that etc. Make sure that your instructions are in order and that they are clear so that they could be followed. You can do this on Purple Mash as we have put it on a “2do” - don’t forget to save it so that we can have a look at it.
Predicting: What do you think the challenge that the Iron Man gave to the Space-bat-angel-dragon will be? Write your ideas down. You could start your sentences with:
I wonder if … or Maybe the Iron Man’s challenge is to … or I think that …
Make sure that you check your sentences and that you have included punctuation. Keep your writing neat.
Do you think that the Space-bat-angel-dragon will take on the Iron Man’s challenge? What do you think will happen? Write about your prediction.
Maths
Remember to check out the sumdog website. We have added some different challenges for you to be getting on with.
Can you use a ruler to measure in mm (millimetres) Remember there are 10mm to every cm. Using mm to measure allows you to be more accurate and to measure much smaller items. Can you find some things to measure and measure them carefully. Remember that you always need to start at the 0 on the ruler and measure carefully to the end of the object.
Record your measurements in your maths learning at home book. Remember to work neatly.
Can you record how many mm and then record how many cm and mm? Make sure you think carefully.
e.g. A box 102mm 10cm 2mm
How many things can you measure? Have fun!
Geography challenge
Our new topic is ‘Our European neighbours’, in our first lesson we found the continents on a map and found out some facts about Europe. Next I would like you to use the internet to find a world map and complete the European countries 2do on Purple Mash. You should already have all of your login details and it should just pop up when you access it.
