Welcome back to school!
Project
Our project this half term is about Microevolution, Adaptability and Inheritance (Science project). We have collected research about these areas this week and have begun to think about characteristics can be inherited within families. For your home learning task, you have a choice as to whether you chose to use your own family or a different family that you know well (it could be a famous family, e.g. the Beckhams).
Create a family tree using images (drawings or photographs) of each member (going to back to grandparents if possible and ending with your generation) and annotate to clearly show the relationships within the family. Then please include writing which explains all of the characteristics that you can see have been inherited in this family. Explain who has received which characteristics; and from whom. These could be physical characteristics, skills/talents or personality traits. This needs to be presented beautifully so that they can be displayed in your classroom in the reading corner.
Maths
Each maths group will be given different tasks to complete:
Miss Snowdon’s group – using your ‘properties of 2D shapes’ revision from this week please create a song, poem or rap which you can teach to others to help them to learn/ remember properties of 2D shapes. It is intended to be used as a revision tool. If you struggle, look back at the ‘Word class song’ we used in SPAG last term (on the school website) to give you ideas. The Bitesize and Mathisfun websites will be useful too.
Miss Bold’s group – you have got a ‘find the shapes’ activity to do. Read the instructions carefully!
Mr Peters’ group – complete the shape revision guide sheet
Spelling
Complete the –cious & -tious and –cial & -tial spelling rules word search
Have a lovely weekend!
Miss Snowdon, Mr Peters and Miss Bold.
