English:

We are doing an English zoom at 10:30am. Please use the link in the email to take part in this. 

Today we are going to be doing an editing lesson. During the zoom today, I will show you how to edit your work.

 

Editing checklist:

• Do all your sentences start with capital letters?
• Do all your sentences end with full stops?
• Are all your words spelt correctly?
• Have you got adjectives in all your sentences? 
• Have you got conjunctions?
• Have you used a and an correctly?
• Have you use prepositions?

 

If you have forgotten to do any of these things, please change them or add them in using a black pen. It is important you do this so I can see where you have done your editing. 

 

Once this is complete, please upload this to Google classroom. I will show you how to do this during the zoom.

Science:

Today we are moving onto a new topic - magnets!

 

Magnets have an invisible force! We can't see how they work, but we can see the end result - either a magnet will 'pull' an object to itself or...it won't!

Task 1:

Before we talk about the details of magnets, I would like you to do some experimenting!

I know that some of you won't have magnets at home - don't worry! There are 2 options for task 1!

Option 1 - if you DO have any kind of magnet at home:

Have a look at the sheet below labelled Science task 1. Your job is to predict (guess) whether the item listed is magnetic or not. If it is magnetic, the magnet will almost connect or stick to that object. Once you have made all your predictions, use your magnet to test it out! See if you were correct!

 

Option 2 - if you DO NOT have a magnet at home:

You can still do some predicting. Have a look at the sheet below labelled Science task 1. Your job is to predict (guess) whether the item listed is magnetic or not. If it is magnetic, the magnet will almost connect or stick to that object. Once you have made all your predictions, you will need to research using the computer to find out if that object was magnetic or not! See if you were correct!

 

Task 2:

Now, you either need to continue using the magnet or using the computer to do some magnet investigating!

I would like you to find lots of different things in your house and either test, or research to see if they are magnetic. Have a look at Science sheet 2 below, you will find a table where you can record whether the material was magnetic or not. 

When we do our afternoon zoom tomorrow, we will compare the things you found at home to the things we found in the classroom which were or were not magnetic!

Happy hunting!
