Maths

Today for maths, you can either carry on with work that is in your home learning packs or you can access this BBC Bitesize lesson which is continuing with your learning of percentages. You will be learning how to write percentages as fractions and decimals: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zynhjsg

English

As you have been working on poetry over the last few days, it would be great if you could complete the following lesson which is based around writing nonsense poems. It would be lovely if you could share some of the poems you have created via twitter or on our discussion page: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zjt296f

For today’s special treat Mrs Brennan would like to read you an extract about a person from the book ‘Visionary Women Around the World’. To watch simply just click on the following link- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F0JNLQntC0U

Message from Mrs Powell:

Geordie has been on countless adventures in his young life, in August ’18, he cycled 22,500 miles over 430 days through 4 continents.

Geordie decided to set his sights on this ambitious venture when he was 17 and had no climbing experience.

The Seven Summits consists of:
– South America: Aconcagua
– Africa: Kilimanjaro–

 Europe: Elbrus
– North America: Denali
– Antarctica: Vinson Massif
– Australasia/Oceania: Carstensz Pyramid
– Asia: Everest

When discussing his adventures he said that the reading books about adventures and going on adventures are very different.  He challenges us to all make our own adventures and discover whether this is the same as you think. Have you read about somewhere or seen something you would like to do?  Remember Alex said at the beginning of the week that we all have our own challenges whether this is riding a bike or a maths question.  We all have our own Everest to climb and challenge us!

Take care everyone!

Miss Thwaites and Mrs Hulse x
