Good morning Room 2!
Maths
Today we are looking at digital time. Please try an focus on how digital time is set out compared to analogue time. Hours first, minutes second. Also, you will need to go over that with digital we are dealing with minutes past the hour. I think the children will grasp any time past the hour but will need to concentrate on looking at an analogue clock saying ‘towards the next hour’ as they will still need to write the hour it is in for digital. I hope that make sense!
Below is a little PP to help guide the children through the first part and a few examples. Excuse my voice again!
Try this as a little warm up- digital and analogue clocks warm up
If you want to push your self then try these-
Quartley intervals –
Analogue to digital -12 hour Quarterly intervals
digital to analogue – 12 hours Quarterly intervals
5 minute intervals
Analogue to digital -12 hour 5 minute intervals
digital to analogue – 12 hours 5 minute intervals
One minute intervals
Analogue to digital -12 hour 1 minute intervals
digital to analogue – 12 hours 1 minute intervals
When they have finished, they can have a go at this website to try and put into practise what they have learnt. https://mathsframe.co.uk/en/resources/resource/116/telling-the-time
Spellings – You have your spellings to practise for Friday. If you are struggling to think of ways to practise them, then look at the poster below to give you a few helpful, fun ways to learn them.
English– see post from Monday, as Mrs Hilditch has loaded up the week.
Reading Comprehension
If you usually read with Miss Gwilliam during Guided Reading then please have a look at the reading comprehension below.
For the rest of us, a slightly different looking comprehension but one I feel is fairly relevant at the moment for all his wonderful work he is doing with children and their families during lockdown. Marcus Rashford. I can’t separate these out so I apologise. They are starred to show you the difficulty, * Easier **Medium **Trickier. You will need to scroll through and select which level you think appropriate. The answers follow on from the questions.
Science
LO: To understand what friction is and its uses.
This week we are looking at how forces can act upon a moving object to either slow it down or make it move faster. The force you are particularly looking at today is Friction. Visit this website and watch the short clip to get an idea on what friction is and how it works. Is it always useful?
Read through the PP to help you.
Activity
Below is a sheet I would like you to complete. You need to decide whether friction a good thing or a bad thing when it come to these objects and how they need to work but most importantly, I want you to be able to tell me why.

Messy experiment time!
If you got my message earlier in the week then you will know that attached to this lesson is a fun little experiment into how friction works and how it can be important. It’s called ‘Friction Jelly’. I posted what equipment you will need in order to do this. The whole family can join in too!
Activity
You will need
- A packet of jelly cubes
- Oil
- 2 plates
- 2 pencils or a set of chop sticks
- Timer
- Firstly, open the packet of jelly cubes and cut them up into individual cubes.
- Secondly, set you stopwatch.
- You need to time how long it takes you (and the other members of your family if they want to play) to move all of the the jelly cubes from one plate to the other using either your two pencils or a set of chopsticks, no stabbing the jelly with the pencils!
- Then, I want you to repeat the experiment again but this time, add oil to your jelly and make sure they are covered. Make sure you time it as well!
- Record down your times after each go. Do you notice anything about the timings? Do they change? If so why do think this? (Think about friction)
Make sure you keep the results so you can use them next week. Take lots of photos and we can stick them up on the Science wall at school. I’ve attached a table if you want to record your results down. Please add to it if more people want to play.
