Spelling Chilli ChallengeFrom the word lists below, select the set that will challenge you at an appropriate level. Give yourself a spelling

test using the words before you start – words you get correct straight away may not need more work. If your spelling is great at the start of the week, your focus is on using the words correctly in sentences. Talisman

group – use your own lists but feel free to use these lists too!

Ask an adult to read these dictation sentences aloud for you to write them down in your jotter. Make sure you’re thinking about punctuation as well as spelling – especiallythe speech marks in the last sentence!

1. The tennis player was furious when he lost the championship.2. The ownership of the priceless painting is in question.3. The art expert exclaimed, “What fabulous craftsmanship!”

Homographs and homonyms

Mini Greek lesson: “homos” means “same”….”graphos” means “writing” so homographs are words which look the same but have different meanings – like bow (in your hair) and bow (of a ship) or (take a bow) “phone” means “sound” or “voice” so homophones sound the same but look different – like right / write Homonym comes from the Greek words “homos” and “onoma”, which means “name” – words which look and sound the same, like fly (verb – I can fly!) and fly (noun – a fly in my soup!)

ICT: We are applying prior learning (Scratch) to code an obstacle course using Roblox. We will have to…

Manipulate 3D parts to create an obstacle course. Design and playtest a game, focusing on a fun user experience. Create scripts using variables and loops for in-game visual effects.

Skills and Concepts:

Variable - A placeholder for information in code. String - A variable that can store whole sentences, written in

quotations. Loop- A set of code that repeats until told otherwise.

If you can’t use Roblox, or if you don’t have the equipment, let us know how you think you could change the task so that you can do something similar. Do NOT pay for anything in Roblox or anything else just to be able to do this task!This is a big task that could take between an hour and several days of your life!You will need:A Roblox accountRoblox Studio on your computerA mouse with a scroll wheel.1. First load the Obby template, then do the following tutorials: All links are available here: https://education.roblox.com/en-us/resources/intro-to-game-design-and-coding

Project Intro & File Setup Basics of Roblox Studio Parts and Platforms Colors and Materials

As you work, remember to rotate your camera view to get an accurate view of your project. Also look at the Explorer – this is a foundation skill in Roblox Studio2..Now you’re ready to begin coding. Do these tutorials next:

3.Work on your game until you are satisfied that…

A player can reach the end (with a reasonable level of difficulty). The game has a balance of easy and difficult jumps.

If you have spare time, you can go back and finish your obstacle course.

4.Ask a friend to road test your game and give you feedback.

Plenary:

1. Look again at what you have created. Are you comfortable with the vocabulary: variable, string, loop?

2. What would you add to your game to improve it? .For example, a more visually interesting endpoint or more challenging jumps.

The following three sheets may be helpful.

***IMPORTANT***

If this is too hard, or if something doesn’t work – don’t get upset by it! This is supposed to be a fun ICT task but not everyone finds this kind of

thing fun! This is harder than Mr McRae or Mrs Matthews are comfortable with but we’re hoping that some of you enjoy the challenge.

It’s OK not to do this piece of work!
