Home Learning, Wednesday 24th June
Good morning Team Gunson. Well, what a scorcher it was yesterday. I hope that you managed to get out in the sunshine for a while and soak up the rays! Today is looking warm too, so make sure that you drink plenty of water.
PE: It's a Misha and Monkey outdoor workout today to make the most of the weather.

You can do number bonds to 10, 20 or 100 depending how much challenge you would like today.
Maths: IALT solve problems involving converting between seconds, hours and minutes
Following on from yesterday, we are now going to apply the skills we have learned. Remember, Quiz, Lesson, Actvity, Quiz!
Maths Challenge: IALT generate and describe number sequences

Number sequences are something that comes up in the Kent Test. As I know some of you are working hard revising for it perhaps this challenge may help. Good luck!
English: IALT draft a Non-Chronological Report
OK, so we have looked at how NC reports are organised and researched the content for a NC report. Today is the day to write it. Try to follow the structure outlined in the Youtube clip from Monday.

Remember how we develop a paragraph by having a topic sentence then several further sentences to give more detail?

Topic: IK how we have day and night on earth
Although we say ‘The sun rises’, it actually doesn’t rise or set. The sun simply appears to move because of the earth’s movement.
As the Earth rotates, part of the Earth’s land is not facing the sun, this creates darkness across the area.

Now look through the Powerpoint I have attached.
I would like you to create a simple explanation text using the information above to explain how day and night occur on earth. Make sure your explanation contains plenty of information: does the sun move? Why do we have day and night? Is it daytime everywhere across the world at the same time? Draw a diagram to support your explanation.
