English (Mr Gum) Maths (Shape) Connected Curriculum

(all week)

Mon Mr Gum’s favourite TV programme is ‘Bag of Sticks’,

which is a programme showing a bag of sticks for half

an hour. Can you think of some crazy ideas for a TV

show? Try to think of at least two.

Write the name of the show and what happens. E.g.

FIND THE CHAIR – a person has to wander

blindfolded round a room, trying to find a chair

SWEETS OR NOT? – contestants have to lick objects

such as shoes, doorknobs, pieces of paper and decide

if the object is made of sweets.

(Actually, these are both real programmes in Japan…)

Acute, obtuse and right angles

Watch the videos to learn about acute, obtuse

and right angles. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g7K4zztMXT0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9RTM418qfdI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NVuMULQjb3o

(angles song)

Look at Maths Resource 1 and decide if the

angles shown are acute, obtuse or right angles.

Put the corner of a ruler or piece of paper into

each angle if you are not sure.

extension on the Home Learning page

look at your seed, draw it in the

appropriate box and measure the

length of the roots/stem.

Watch the following video. (It will

stop and ask you to login – just click

on ‘Try it for free’). https://www.generationgenius.com/videolessons/plant-growth-conditions-video-for-kids/

Thu Polly ends up in a dark, forbidding forest.

Look at English Resource 2 and write a description of the

forest, using your plan from yesterday. Try to:

use great vocabulary

use similes (the tree branches were like…)

start sentences in different ways (e.g. Overhead,…

Huge branches… Knotted trees… On the ground

were…)

Try to make the forest sound as menacing as possible.

Parallel and perpendicular lines

Look again at Maths Resource 3,

particularly at parallel and perpendicular

lines. Watch: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zb6tyrd/articles/zp327hv

Click on ‘Thursday’s Maths – parallel and

perpendicular’ on the Blackbird Home

Learning page and complete the sheet.

Fri VE Day

Watch the video to find out what VE Day is all about. https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/class-clips-video/history-ks2-ve-day/z7xtmfr

Look at pictures from VE Day to see how people

celebrated. https://www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/inspire-me/ve-day/ve-day-in-pictures/

In 1945, people did not yet have televisions in their homes

and heard the news on the radio. Can you create a radio

broadcast announcing the news on VE Day? If possible,

record it on a device with a microphone.

Try to include:

Opening sentence (What has happened)

More details:

how are people feeling

what they are doing to celebrate

Closing sentence (a sentence to finish the broadcast)

There are also various programmes showing throughout

the day on the BBC.

A wordsearch is included in the resources below or you

could create a VE Day poster.

VE Day

People all over the country celebrated VE

Day by having street parties.

Use your weighing and measuring skills to

prepare something for your own tea party.

You could bake a cake (if you can get flour)

or make cookies (there are many flourless

recipes on the internet). If you are feeling

adventurous, try a recipe from the wartime

era. https://the1940sexperiment.com/100-wartime-recipes/

Parts of Winston Churchill’s speech will be

broadcast on the BBC at 3pm and people

are encouraged to have afternoon tea

parties after that, so why not eat

whatever you have baked then, while

listening to a playlist of World War II

songs?

Maths Resource 2

Following the instructions below, draw a 2d picture of a house (using a ruler).

Your house must:

1) have a floor measuring 18cm 5mm

2) have walls measuring 9cm

3) have a door with 4 right angles

4) have 2 windows, each with a perimeter of 16cm. (If you want an extra challenge,

make the windows different shapes.)

5) have a roof that has at least 1 obtuse angle and 2 acute angles

6) have a path outside that includes at least one obtuse angle

Label all the lines with measurements and label all the angles

(draw an arrow and write if they are acute, obtuse or right angles).

e.g.

right angle

18cm 5mm

9cm

I have not drawn the whole house, as I don’t want you just to copy mine!

Remember: the perimeter is the

distance round the outside of a

shape.

Perimeter = 5 + 5 + 2 + 2 = 14cm

Superbear competition

We’re launching a competition to find a superhero teddy bear, and we need your help designing it. The winning teddy will be sold in

John Lewis and Waitrose shops later this year, with 100% of the profits going to the NHS.

DESIGN YOUR TEDDY BEAR

In honour of our incredible carers at the NHS, we need designs for superhero-themed bears – don’t feel like you have to stick to

the traditional brown bear – we want to see all kinds of super teddies.

Try and incorporate unique elements through colours, patterns, capes, masks – whatever feels exciting for you, but please avoid

using any recognisable icons in your designs, such as the ‘NHS’ lettering or Superman logos.

HOW TO ENTER

Share your superhero teddy bear design with us by 5pm on 8 May 2020. An adult over the age of 18 should submit a photo of your

design in one of the following two ways:

Share your designs by email to: [email protected]

or posted through a public Instagram or Twitter account with the hashtag #DesignYourSuperBear
