Maths
This week (13.7.20) for Maths, as something a little bit different, see if you can bring in your measurement, time and money skills by designing a garden party. Give yourself a budget and plan what you will need food-wise, drink-wise and decorations-wise. See if you can come up with a guest list and a seating plan, plus a time schedule of what will happen at each point.
Good luck!

*Please ensure you save any work you do on Purple Mash into the 3NB or 3SF folder, depending on which class you are in. The save icon is in the top left hand corner of most 2Dos.
See if you can have a go at sending Mr Bland or Mrs Field an email with an attachment in - simply go into the 2email app and click compose, then, when you've finished writing the email, click attach and attach a piece of saved work from your Purple Mash. This is a good way of keeping fresh in your memory what we've been learning about regarding email, but also it's a good way to contact others. Feel free to send (kind and respectful) emails to each other as well.
Science
Our Summer Science topic is all about Forces. What forces do you know? Can you draw a picture of different forces? Can you find out their scientific names?
There is lots on information on forces on the BBC website, which you can access here:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/znmmn39
And there's also a wealth of information on DK Find Out:
https://www.dkfindout.com/uk/science/forces-and-motion/
History
We have been learning about the Ancient Greeks and their legacy (what they have done for us) in our History. See if you can research about Ancient Greek theatre, sports and buildings. DK Find Out, mysteries in time and National Geographic Kids have some great information:
https://www.dkfindout.com/uk/history/ancient-greece/
https://www.mysteriesintime.co.uk/ancient-greece-for-kids
https://www.natgeokids.com/uk/discover/history/greece/10-facts-about-the-ancient-greeks/
- Can you put the information you find out into a fact sheet? This could take the form of a general Ancient Greek fact file or, alternatively, you could write a fact file for each of the parts of Ancient Greek life - religion, clothes, buildings, theatre, sport and family life.
- Can you make a design for what a Stone Age, Bronze Age or Iron Age settlement would be like?
P.E.

Ellis has been finding out about the war ahead of VE Day on Friday - great work Ellis!
Well done to Ellie, who did this fantastic bunting colouring to celebrate VE day, which is on Friday 8th May. Fantastic!
Well done to Archie Stokes for his work focusing on different European countries, researching to find out about their flags, famous people from them, where in the world they are are and other information besides. Great work!

Ellie has made these delicious-looking, visually appealing and healthy fruit kebabs. They look absolutely scrumptious, well done.

Well done to Charlotte, who has completed some fantastic work on Palm Sunday and Ancient Greek life. Great job!
A shout-out to Lewis, who has been very hard at work keeping fit in his garden, complete with a training circuit. Looks like a proper workout and a fantastic way to stay fit and healthy, not to mention a good way to hone those football skills. Well done!
