Well done on reaching the end of another week. We continue to be impressed and amazed at how well you are doing under the current circumstances and still enjoy seeing all the work you have been getting up to. Keep it up! 
Don't forget to look at yesterday's good learning blog to see some of the brilliant work we have received this week. 

Here's today's Feelings Friday activity.

English - Writing

Watch the film again. At the 2 minute mark the aliens are clearly having a conversation. But what are they saying?

Your task today is to create the dialogue between the three aliens.

Don’t forget the rules of punctuation speech.

Have a look at the videos and information on this page to remind you of the rules of inverted commas. 

This first video is a reminder of how to use inverted commas. 

This second video gives a bit more information on how to use inverted commas in dialogue. (For the first few seconds it seems like it's the same video but then it changes.)

English - Reading

Read Chapter 5 of the story and answer the questions. Over the weekend make sure you read the final chapter to find out how the story ends. 

Complete these two activities related to the book.

Complete the sentence below with either ‘a’ or ‘an’.

• The King was ___ angry man because he realised that __ gang of pirates had tricked him.

Some of the words in the sentence below have missing letters. Fill in the gaps with either ei or ey.

•  The pirates had no choice but to ob_ _ the King’s orders. Th_ _ were sent to jail because although there were about _ _ght hundred shimmering gems, the King noticed something missing from the b_ _ ge empty groove.

Maths

You've been working really hard learning about tenths as fractions and decimals this week. Today, we're going to talk a small break and try to apply our maths knowledge to a wider range of problems. You might need to use different operations to help with these questions. Try to give them all a go, you will find that they get more challenging as they go on. 

Question 1

Question 2 (Remember, to find the difference you need to use subtraction.)

Question 3

Question 4

Question 5

Question 6

P4C

Discuss with someone at home.
Would you prefer to be able to travel to the past or the future?
Create a list of advantages and disadvantages for each one. You can share these on the Purple Mash blog. It would be great to hear your thoughts. 

Don't forget...

• Keep active and make sure you are doing exercise. The government has now relaxed the rules for going outside and so, if you are able to, you can now go out for longer as long as you stay 2 metres away from other people. Here is a useful document with lots of different activities you can get up to at home. There are links to physical activities as well as suggestions of physical challenges. Why not give it a go over the weekend?

• Keep sending in your work and getting in contact on Purple Mash, it has been great to see more of what you've been up to and to hear how you're doing. 
• Keep checking this blog regularly. There are two exciting projects that we will hopefully be able to give you more information about next week!

Stay safe, be kind and make sure you find time to rest and relax over the weekend.
