English Challenge - Tuesday 31st March (Punctuation)

Hello everyone,

Today we will be continuing to look at punctuation. This time commas!

Commas For Lists

We can use commas to separate items in a list. For example:

For lunch I ate a ham sandwich, some crisps, an apple and a yoghurt.

Copy and complete these sentences adding at least three items to the list. Remember to use an 'and' rather than a comma for the last item!

I enjoy lots of subjects at school including _________________ .

My favourite video games are ____________________________ .

Looking out of my bedroom window I can see _______________ .

Write a list sentence of your own using this picture for ideas:

Now try writing a list sentence about this picture:

Challenge - Write an explanation for a year 1 pupil of how to use commas in a list. Keep it clear and simple!

Maths Challenge - Monday 30th March (Statistics)

Hello year 4,

This weeks' maths will be about statistics - reading graphs and charts. Here is your warm-up.

Warm-Up: Dividing by 10 and 100

Remember - The rule for dividing by 10 is that the digits stay the same but move 1 place value column to the right. We might need to remove place holders.

For example:

30 divided by 10 = 3

150 divided by 10 = 15

5 divided by 10 = 0.5

Solve the following:

50 divided by 10 = 

240 divided by 10 = 

300 divided by 10 = 

4900 divided by 10 = 

34 divided by 10 = 

67 divided by 10 = 

314 divided by 10 = 

Main Activity - Reading Bar Graphs

English Challenge - Monday 30th March (Punctation Week)

Hello everyone! For this week's English challenges we will be focusing on punctuation.

Question Marks and Exclamation Marks

Exclamation marks - These are used to give emphasis to a sentence. The emphasis can show someone is shouting, they are angry, something is exciting or shocking. You will find them at the end of a sentence. Stop right there!

Question marks - Indicate that the sentence is asking a question. This can be a person speaking, a question the author is asking or a rhetorical question (a question that tries to add an effect to the writing). Where is my school bag?

Copy and complete the following sentences about question and exclamation marks in your challenge books:

Now have a go at writing your own sentences using these pictures. Write one question sentence and one exclamation sentence to fit with each picture.

Example for the first picture - It's so icy!  What is the temperature today?

Science Challenge - Week 2 (Animal Classifications)
