Happy Friday!
Today, all your tasks are linked to reading. I hope you enjoy them.
Task 1
Reading and exploring poetry
Task 2
Who can remember the story of George’s Marvellous Medicine? 
We read the book earlier in the year. What can you remember about the characters?
Using the book George’s Marvellous Medicine you are going to learn how to summarise information from an extract and write a description inspired by Roald Dahl.
There are 3 activities to choose from.
Activity 3 looks great! Here are some templates to help you if needed.

THE DEADLINE IS TODAY! Message your class mates and ask them if they’ve done theirs!
Here’s another reminder about the extra task I’d like you to do this week. It’s completely optional but it’d be amazing if we could get everyone in Moortown’s class of 2020 to take part!
I’d like you to film a short clip of yourself:
- describing a favourite memory from primary school
- explaining why it’s awesome to be you
- saying what you want to be when you grow up
Send your videos (they can be separate but no longer than 30 – 60 seconds) to my email address:
jenwilson@spherefederation.org
Maths – LO: mean average
You know the drill – click here.
Click here for task one and here for task two.
Challenges
- look for keywords in the question
- find the right page/section
- read around the information
- write down your answer
- check it makes sense
Science – LO: How do we produce energy?
Use this video to learn about non-renewable and renewable energy and consider the pros and cons of fossil fuels. You will need a piece of paper, a pencil and your brain – get ready to pause the video and complete the tasks within it.
After you’ve watched the video, you need to persuade me whether or not to use fossil fuels, using the advantages and disadvantages you’ve just learnt. You could:
- make a poster
- write a speech
- create a presentation
- write a poem/song
As always, send in your learning from home!
