For Today’s lesson you will be making your own Noah’s ark using resources from your house (junk modelling). Please watch the video below for an example of one of the tasks we are setting.

Evaluation

Now try your Noah’s Ark home-made boat in the bath:

BIG QUESTIONS:

1. DOES IT SINK?
2. IF SO, WHY DO YOU THINK IT SANK?
3. DID IT FLOAT?
4. WHAT MADE IT A GOOD BOAT?
5. WHAT WOULD YOU IMPROVE NEXT TIME?

Please send pictures of the before and after the experiment. But no photos of you in the bath.

Floating and sinking

When something is in water, there are two forces acting on it. Its weight and the force of the water pushing up, the upthrust.

If the weight is equal to or less than the upthrust, it floats. Things that float are buoyant.

If the weight is greater than the upthrust, it sinks.

This afternoon we would like you to carry out the science experiment below to create a rainbow like the one that appears at the end of the bible story Noah’s ark.

Please send in any photos or videos of you carrying the experiment out. We look forward to seeing them.

We would also like you to draw a rainbow. Then to be able to write a sentence explaining what a rainbow symbolises to you.

As always any questions please don’t hesitate to ask.

Many thanks

HINT: Remember to explain your reasoning and problem solving by using the STEM sentence openers

To describe your favourite items, using capital letters, full stops – concentrating on common nouns. Click on image to make bigger.

Think about your favourite items.

Prompts might include:

• What was the texture of it/ What does it feel like to touch?
• What sort of sound would it make?
• If you stepped on it, what sort of sound would it make?
• When it moves, how would you describe its movements?
• What colour is it?
• As you look at your object , what can you see?
• Does your object have a certain smell or taste? Does it take you back to a certain time of place?
•  How does it make you feel? Why?Emotions…

E.G My favourite item would be my red jewellery box because it was given to me by my nanna. It is red velvet and plays classical music. When I hold my red jewellery box, my mind goes back to the day my Nanna gave it to me!

What a fantastic week from both long Mynd and Hawkstone. I know its not the easiest to home school but the effort and dedication I have seen this week is fantastic.

For today’s maths I would like you to spend time on: Purple mash, Mathletics, Numbots and Time tables Rockstars.

Its time to have fun and play some games. I am attaching 3 games, read the instructions and i have also included the resources card. You may need a dice, however if you don’t have one make number cards and randomly pick one.

Please listen to the story by Miss Wright and complete the sheet below.

Reflect on the story, what dad and daughter have achieved so far. They are resting/ taking time to reflect! This is an ideal time to write a diary entry on what has happened so far. Remember to use full stops, capital letters and past tense.
