Writing activity<\/strong>
\nBelow is a link to a video showing a farmer planting windmills. As we have been studying different impacts on our environment, we would like you to research the effects of wind farms and write a non-bias news paper article about the different opinions people have on them. Please include: rhetorical questions (Did you know?), Casual conjunctions (consequently) and key statistics.<\/p>\n

Maths <\/strong>
\nAs we have started our learning on multiplication and learning about associative law, this activity will help you practise your times tables and use your number sense to help you.
\nUsing three dice (or picking 3 numbers from 1-6), put them together and see what sum combinations you can come up with. For example, if I rolled a 4,6,5 I could multiply (6 X 5) and then X4. Think about swapping the numbers, do you have the same answer? If not can you find the smallest and largest number.
\nChallenge: Can you use numbers 1-20. Think about using a multiplication grid to help you times 3 digit numbers if necessary.<\/p>\n

Remember that Sumdog and Times Tables Rockstars have also been updated with activities.<\/p>\n

Science <\/strong>
\nWe have been learning about our digestive system! Here\u2019s a science project to demonstrate the process of digestion.
\nhttps:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/bitesize\/topics\/zf339j6\/articles\/zrm48mn<\/a>
\nWe are aware that some of us have already had fun with this project at school so if you want to show off all of your digestion knowledge, using play dough, drawings or recyclable objects around the house, can you make a 3D model of the oesophagus, stomach , small intestine and large intestine. As a challenge, research these body parts and find fun facts that you could label your model with.<\/p>\n

Art<\/strong>
\nThis week I would like you to create something with a paper plate. Please don\u2019t worry if you do not have one at home you can just draw around a plate and then cut it out.
\nI would like you to link it to the country that your Year Group is studying, so here are some ideas. However, any creation would be wonderful.
\nPlease email a photo of your artwork to me and I will share it on the Art Blog.
\nKeep creating and keep safe!
