Time to stretch those muscles for day 24 of Yoga with Adriene
1st Lesson: Literacy
1) We will watch the Espresso video and complete the Expresso activities to revise our knowledge of using apostrophes- we have noticed that we need to practice using them in our writing! When you click the link to complete the activities remember you will need in the login details for the Espresso website, which are:
Username: student20436
Password: password
Username: student20436
Password: password
2) Now to deepen your understanding, watch the Oak academy lesson and complete the activities on there.
3) Rewrite these sentences and correct the use of apostrophes:
4) Spend at least 30 minutes a day reading your Active Learn books and answering the comprehension questions. Remember to email your teachers if you run out of books!
Break
Take a break by having a nice snack or drink of water.
2nd Lesson: Maths
1) Let's warm-up for today's maths lesson by being maths detectives to find a number using our knowledge and understanding of factors and prime numbers which we have learned about recently.
2) Spend 30 minutes completing assigned activities on Mathletics.
3) Spend 15 mins at least on Times Tables Rock Stars.

Equivalent fractions can be a little confusing. Sometimes it helps to hear someone else explain it.
Alice H. has made a really useful video that links bar models and fraction equations to help you find equivalent fractions.
Originally the video was made for Year 5 however as we lost out on a lot of fraction learning last year the video will be especially relevant for us in Year 6.

4) Now let's have a look at the main part of the activity. Today we are going to continue looking at Fractions, and recap on our understanding of Equivalent Fractions. These are fractions which have the same value, even though they may look different (have different numerators and denominators).
Below you can see that the pizzas are cut into 0ne-half (1/2) and also into two two-quarters (2/4). They are the same size but use different numerators (top number in a fraction) and denominators (bottom number in the fraction). Therefore 1/2 and 2/4 are equivalent fractions.
The fraction wall above can be used to find other different equivalent fractions.

Before you go onto the White Rose Activity, have a look at the Maths Is Fun YouTube video on Equivalent Fractions.
As always, it is extremely important you watch the video lesson first to help you understand the lesson and then have a go at the activities underneath.
You can also use the lesson Powerpoint slides to help you, see the link below.
I have included the answers for you to check once you've completed as much of the activity as you can do.
Remember you can write out the activities and calculations on paper, you don't need to print them.

Lunch
We hope you are having a nutritious and delicious lunch today!
3rd Lesson: Computing
To start with in Computing today we are going to find out more about what digital data is.
Click on the link below to take you to a BBC Bitesize page to find out more.
Afterward write down 5 facts you learned about digital data.
E.g. Computers can only work with digital information.
Other sentence start option could include:
I learnt that ...
I discovered that ...
I found out that ...
In today's Computing lesson my research uncovered that ...

Next, we will build on the work from last week to detect and correct errors in algorithms & programs.
Follow the link below to Code Studio: Dance Party and use the tutorial to help you design, write & debug programs that accomplish a particular goal.
The code has already been written in the form of code blocks but you will have the opportunity to arrange the code to complete each level of the acty and debug any errors.
Try doing the Dance Party activity first and then when you are confident in organizing your coded algorithms you can move to Part 2: Keep On Dancing.

Finally, if you fancy a different (low-technology) activity. Click below on the link below for the A bit of cs4fn (Computer Science for Fun) website activity: Picture This.
Icons are a picture-based way for people to tell their computers what to do.
In these activities you will get the chance to guess what particular app/programme icons do and create/draw your own icons.
Click the link below to have a go at the activity.
