From yesterday, you should have created a table of rules to follow at Camp Green Lake for your survival guide. This may look like the table below:

Add any ideas from today's part of the story to your table.

We now need to organise these rules into sections, so that rules on a similar theme are linked under subheadings.

Task 1: Generate a title and subheading for your guides. 

• Alliteration e.g. “Daily Digging”,
• Repetition e.g. “Dig, dig and dig some more”
• A play on words e.g. “Safety Rules!”

Task 2: Put rules on a similar theme under each subheading. Your plan may look something like this:

Maths - Zoom input at 11:00am

Place Value! What better way of reminding ourselves with this than with a song?

Today we will be recapping a year 5 skill. We will be looking at decimals with 2 decimal places.

 

1. What is a decimal?
2. What is a decimal place?
3. What is the place value of the first digit after the decimal point?
4. What is the place value of the second digit after the decimal point?

ANSWERS

1. We can use decimals to represent values less than one (instead of fractions)
2. Values after the decimal point. E.g. 2.3 has one decimal place, 2.34 has two decimals places.
3. Tenth
4. Hundredth

Topic

Our topic is Crime and Punishment.

• What do you already know about the topic?
• What do you want to find out?

Today you will be thinking about these two questions and presenting your findings. Remember to present your work creatively and add illustrations to your ideas.

Task: Split your paper (A3 or A4) into 2 halves: Give one side the title What do I already know? And the other side What do I want to find out? Under the first side, write facts – use your work from last week to help. Under the second side, write questions that you would like to find out about throughout the topic.
