Guided Reading

Vocabulary

Look at the text that you read yesterday from your learning pack. Choose 5 tricky words and try and define them. Use the skills that you learnt in class to help you

1. Read around the word: are there any clues in the text? What word class is it? Is it linked to another word? Does it have a prefix/suffix?
2. Background knowledge: have you seen/heard it before? Where? How was it used then?
3. Synonyms: can you replace the word with another word that has a similar meaning
4. Definition: try and write a definition of the word.

Check your answers using a dictionary (can use online dictionaries if you do not own one at home!)

Reflex 

Practice your skills on Reflex.  All the teachers get a weekly report so we can see who is using Reflex daily.  Lots of people are gaining lots of new facts so keep going!

Maths

In your learning pack:

Arithmetic Test 10

Extension: Create an arithmetic quiz for everyone., there only needs to be 10 questions.  Why not try creating one on Kahoot?!

Science - Light and Sight

Now that we are entering a new term, we are also starting a new science topic about light and sight.  Because it is a new topic, we would like you to do some research about light and your eyes.

Task 1:

Create a fact file or poster which answer these questions:

• What are light sources?  Give examples of light sources and reflective sources – the resource called ‘light sources will help you with this, but if you can add any more, please do so.  Extension: can you tell us the difference between a light source and a reflective source?
• How does light travel? You might want to draw a picture to how this, including speed and direction of light?
