Maths
-Countdown challenge

- Strategies - TenThousands, Thousands, Hundreds, Tens, Units

Literacy
- Find a recipe and read through the ingredients and methods. Ask someone at home if you can make it. I looked through about ten different cheese scone recipes before I chose one to make last week!!
- Look at the picture titled The Clocktower. Can you continue writing the story using the story starter? Can you answer the questions below? Reading the questions straight after reading the story starter might give you ideas about how you can write your story. Can you improve the sick sentences to make them sound better by adding more descriptive words or connectives?!

Story starter

They had been waiting outside the clocktower all day. Soon, it would be time. 

The cloud spat bullets of rain down upon the expectant crowd, before the droplets bounced off the taut canopies of the hundreds of umbrellas that flooded the cobbled square.

Eager eyes became glued to the long, black hands of the clock face. They seemed to be moving in slow motion, as if reluctant to reach the fateful hour: the fateful hour which would determine all their fates....

Questions
  • What is the significance of the clocktower? Is there someone inside?
  • What does the 'fateful hour' mean? 
  • What does the word 'expectant' tell you about the crowd are feeling?
  • What will happen when 'the fateful hour' arrives?
  • Why does only one person carry a red umbrella?

​Sick Sentences!

It was raining. People stood in the rain with their umbrellas. The clocktower stood nearby.

Health and Well-Being
- Everyone has read the Mr Men and Little Miss books. Now is your time to create your own illustrations and cartoon characters. Think about all the different emotions we feel and pick a few to create your own character/s, name them if you can too. I've looked at monsters, can you guess the emotion?

Topic
-Yesterday we were looking at beginning to create our own art exhibitions. Today we are going to go around the world looking at different museums and galleries. 
Task
- Head to https://artsandculture.google.com/ .
- Search for the following artwork, I've picked them to help inspire you for our mythical creature competition entry. "The Transfiguration of Luck, Bakunawa, Magwayen, and Bathala.
- Visit the exhibitions currently at the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art in Edinburgh. The National Portrait Gallery where we visited in January also has some artwork on display. 
-Visit Chihira Art Museum in Japan. We looked at watercolours last term and you can find some beautiful watercolour paintings at this gallery. 

Other museum and galleries have opened their doors virtually around the world. An example is the Louvre in Paris, why not head over and look at their Egyptian exhibition. https://www.louvre.fr/en/visites-en-ligne 

I've also found a newspaper article stating the 10 of the world's best virtual museum and gallery tours. Why not read the article, look at the tours and see if you agree or not!!

RSPB art competition
- Head to the link below for details. The competition is open till the 28th August 2020 so plenty time to think about an entry. Entries are to be emailed to competitions@rspb.org.uk . 
Task
-Create a piece of art inspired by nature – let your imagination run WILD! There are 2 categories to choose from this year – REAL LIFE – entries using the more traditional approach of paints, pastels, acrylics, pens or pencil. And our new GO WILD category – for those of you who want to ‘go wild’ in every sense of the word. To enter this category, experiment with textiles, sculpture, recycled and eco-friendly materials, collages – anything goes!
