As before the holidays, we will set you some daily tasks on Class Dojo. There will be
maths, reading, writing, spelling and times tables tasks each day.
This week, we will upload suggested activities based on the science topic of ‘Plants’.
When you have completed something, please send us a picture via Dojo message or
upload it to your portfolio. Don’t forget; if you have any problems, please let us know
and we will try to help.
We will look forward to seeing
your pictures soon

Today we will be completing Lesson 15 on
‘Equivalent Fractions’.

You will also need Workbook pages 107 - 110
The guidance for this can be found
on Class Dojo.
We are no longer able to publish
Maths- No Problem material on our school website.
Non-Fiction Writing - InstructionsYou may remember that we looked at this text earlier on in the year, within our Literacy
lessons. You may also remember my horrendous drawings of a mammoth.
Anyway, today we will be looking at the imperative verbs found inside the text.
An imperative verb tells somebody what to do. Below are a few examples:
1) Take the chewing gum out of your mouth.2) Next, you’ll need to pull the door handle.3) To score a goal, you must kick the ball.4) When you’re tired, you need to drag yourself out of bed.5) Before that, turn the switch to the left.
What to do: Try and find the imperative verbs in our Woolly Mammoth text on the next slide.
How to Wash a Woolly Mammoth
Does your woolly mammoth need a wash? It’s a difficult task to complete. Woolly mammoths are vast creatures and wool is notoriously tricky to clean. Do not despair. Simply follow this step-by-step guide.
What you will need:
• Mammoth bubble bath
• Cake
• Large scrubbing brush
• Strong shampoo
• Enormous fluffy towel
What to do:
Step 1: Fill the bath tub. If your mammoth is feeling thirsty, it may take a while.
Step 2: Add bubbles. Work into a thick lather.
Step 3: Add the mammoth. This may require bribes, begging or brute force. Use implements such as brooms, spooky masks, skateboards or a heavy-duty crane. When all else fails, there is always cake.
Step 4: Start scrubbing! Don’t forget to wash behind those ears …
Step 5: Wash his big, rotund tummy. CAUTION – a mammoth’s belly is terribly tickly. Therefore, always warn him first; they hate surprises.
Step 6: Make a splash!
Step 7: Now for the really woolly bit – the centre of his head. You’re going to need a handful of shampoo. Be careful not to get a single drop in the mammoth’s eyes as this may infuriate the mammoth.
Step 8: IMPORTANT! Snuggle in a fluffy towel.
Any mammoth will sleep soundly after this luxurious bath-time routine.
What to do:Find and write down the imperative verbs from this text.
Once you think you have found them all, go onto the next slide and see if you are correct.
Your final task to today will be on the next slide too.

Now you know which are the imperative verbs, I’d like you to choose 5 of them and write a sentence for each. The sentences can be about anything you like.
Science: Plants
This week’s suggested activities will be about plants. Most of the
equipment on the list are things that can be found at home. If you
don’t have some of these things, please don’t worry!
You will need:
- Activity 1: Some plants to look at (on your walk, in your
garden or just a bunch of flowers!)
- Activity 2: Some seeds (just from a piece of fruit would work!)
4 plant pots or cups
- Activity 3: Some celery or a white flower

Activity 2What do plants need?
So that they can grow properly, plants need:
sunlight, water and heat
What
happens if
a plant
has no
water?
Can a plant
grow in
the dark?
If a plant has
no heat, will it
still grow?
You need to design
an experiment to
discover what
happens if a plant
doesn’t have these
things.
Control Group Place this plant in a sunny position an water it
daily.
No Water Place this plant in a sunny position but DO NOT
WATER.
No Light Place this plant somewhere dark and water it
daily.
No heat Place this plant in somewhere cold and water it
daily.
Fill 4 plant pots with soil
or compost.
Place seeds on the top,
and push them down
so they are covered
with soil.
Everyday, check on each plant
and make notes on what you
can see. It may take a while for
them to start growing so be
patient!

plants grow.
