This week, it was decided to spare you having to complete a separate piece of homework. Instead, we would love for you to ensure that you have completed all learning/lesson tasks from the past two weeks.

• Then, we would like you to pick a walk – should you go out for some fresh air – and document it with 3-5 pictures. Arrange the pictures in the correct order and describe your little trip for fresh air and exercise.

• For everyone who is “stuck inside”, please document and annotate your daily routine/activities with 3-5 pictures.

• Next weekend, I will set you up on a new Geography mapping system (which I hope we can purchase for school) where you will do this documenting online while creating your own map. A video of instructions will be posted during the course of next week. If successful, I will ask the other children in school to follow your example.

Here is a range of activities you should complete over the weekend and return to us by Wednesday, 29th April 2020.

Maths:

• Complete the tasks set on Mathletics.

• Complete the little counting challenge. If the numbers are too difficult, you are allowed to choose easier starting points if your parents agree.

English: Write a diary entry for one day of the weekend. Make it exciting even though it might not be the most exciting weekend.

History: Since everything that you are doing at the moment is in some way “homework”, please treat this as a dive into the link between Ancient Greece and today. Many of our Sciences are based on discoveries and thoughts of outstanding Scientists and Philosophers from the era we have looked at. Therefore, please create a factfile on a personality of your choice. Once I receive them, they will be shared on Dojo and the blog so that everyone of you can learn more from the others. Choose from:

Pythagoras, Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Hippocrates, Aristarchus, Euclid, Archimedes, Eratosthenes,

Extension: Create an overview with images of other key inventions by Ancient Greeks.
