Wednesday

Lesson 1: Continue to practise Spelling from yesterday and complete a grammar task on Expanded Noun Phrase.

A noun phrase is a word or group of words containing a noun. An expanded noun phrase is a phrase made up of a noun and at least one adjective. If one or more adjectives are listed to describe the noun, a comma should be added to separate the sentence. Remember, a phrase does not contain a verb.

Example:

In the sentence ‘The shiny, red car sped down the road.’ The noun is car, and then the words relating to it (shiny, red) are the adjectives that describe the car. Therefore, the expanded noun phrase is shiny, red car.

Lesson 2: Maths – Pentagons and Join the Dots investigation. Read the investigation and try your best!

Lesson 3: Science - Inheritance – There are three activities and some characteristic cards (no need to print these) for a discussion. Follow through the presentation first.

Lesson 4: RE – Activity 1 – Introduction to Poverty – Read through the presentation and then complete the task at the end. It would be good to have someone to discuss your ideas with for this session.

Thursday

Lesson 1: English - Brainstorm ideas for your transition work This must be completed so that you can take it to school on your first day. Your task is to produce a creative piece of work under the title ‘Me so far…my Aspiration to Excellence’. This doesn’t have to be written, you could create something but you need to show what you have already achieved and then what you hope to achieve in the future whilst at your secondary school.

School.

However, you must:

Include some Literacy or Numeracy skills
Include colour – so we can see your artistic skills.

What do you hope to achieve?

Lesson 2: Maths – Spendthrift and Presents – these have got definite answers!
