Mental Maths: Daily 10 Challenge
https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/daily10
Maths: This week we have been concentrating on statistics, particularly line graphs. I have attached a sheet which gives you a chance to have a go at answering some questions related to our learning.
English: Today we are going to use our senses to write a setting description for a Sci-Fi story.
Watch this video about writing a setting description (ignore the spelling test at the start!).

There a lots of mini activities to help you think about the vocabulary and openers you will use.
Our success criteria are:
- Use all of the senses in your description.
- Use a simile in your description.
- Use your imagination to develop realism through detail.
- Use fronted adverbials and expanded noun phrases.
Firstly look at the picture called Mr Gs pic. Then read through my description of it. Now I would like you to choose a picture from the document I have attached and write a description of your own using the video to help you.
Topic: ME: what is life like for an astronaut?
Would you like to travel to space? Life as an astronaut takes much preparation, physically and emotionally! Astronauts have to complete many physical and psychiatric tests to make sure their minds and bodies can cope with space travel. Check out this information about living in space from NASA:

Now have a look at this amazing interactive space exploration site to find out even more:

Today I would like you to think about the differences between life on Earth and life in space. Make a list for me of things that would be different and strange. Tomorrow we are going to look at this further and imagine that we are astronauts in the International Space Station.
