Home Learning

English: This week for your English I would like you to create a root word diagram like the one pictured in your home learning book. The root word that you base your diagram on is your choice and then you have to think about what prefixes and suffixes you can add to your root word in order to create your diagram. The root word diagram with the most words coming off of it will be the winner. The winning diagram designer will win 5 house points and all entries must be handed in on Monday if they want to win.
 

Maths: For Maths this week I would like you to come up with as many of your own questions on converting measurements as you can think of. Try to make them challenging while still making them ones you would be able to answer yourself. I have stuck some example questions in your home learning book.

Spellings: You also have another 5 spellings this week.

What we have done this week

This week in our science lesson we built some simple circuits. We split into groups of 3 or 4 and first designed a circuit each, drawing it scientifically with the correct symbols. We were then given 3 wires, a battery, a bulb and a motor. As groups we then made each other’s designs one at a time. Once we had done this, we returned our bulbs, one of our wires and our motors and were given a buzzer. We then used our knowledge, that completing the circuit would sound the buzzer and breaking it would turn the buzzer off, to sound the buzzer when we wanted to in order to answer quiz questions on electricity.
