Riddle of the Day: I’m tall
when I’m young and I’m short
when I’m old. What am I?
Half way through another week,
we’ve got this!
Morning work – Maths!
Refresh your knowledge on square and cube numbers:
When you multiply a whole number by itself, you get a square number. We
show this with a little 2 (remember, a square is a 2D shape)
When you take three copies of a whole number and multiply them all
together, you get a cube number. We show this with a little 3 (remember, a
cube is a 3D shape)
The first six cube numbers are:
• 1×1×1=1
• The first six square numbers are:
• 2×2×2=8
• 1×1=1
• 3 × 3 × 3 = 27
• 2×2=4 • 4 × 4 × 4 = 64
• 3×3=9 • 5 × 5 × 5 = 125
• 4 × 4 = 16 • 6 × 6 × 6 = 216
• 5 × 5 = 25
• 6 × 6 = 36
Task: Find the square and cube numbers then complete the calculation s.

LI: To be able to estimate and measure
length
Can you identify what each of these letters
represent in terms of measurement and capacity?
The first one is done for you:
Mg – Milligrams L-? ml - ? Kg - ?
Cm - ? g- ?What will you be learning today?
You will be learning how to estimate the length
or capacity of objects/liquids.
What does estimate mean?
It means to roughly calculate the size, length,
width, capacity of an object or item.Estimation • First get yourself a ruler, if you do not have one, then use the one provided below (the one below will not be completely to scale but it will still give you an understanding on how to estimate)! • Use this link for an online accurate size of a ruler • https://www.piliapp.com/actual-size/cm-ruler/
How to estimate!

Answers • 1. centimetres • 2. Metres • 3. True!
Let’s try estimating! • Estimate the length of the pencil: First pick up the pencil and hold each end between your hands. Visualise a 30cm ruler (remember, a ruler is great for measuring the length of smaller objects!) Then estimate the length of the pencil and write down that answer. Miss Phull’s estimation is 13cm. Now use your ruler (or the one on the previous slide or link) and measure the length, how close was your/ Miss Phull’s estimation?
Your turn! • Can you estimate the length of these items? 1. A water bottle in your home 2. Your hand 3. A4 piece of paper Don’t forget to estimate first by visualising a ruler, if you find this tricky, look at a ruler first and/or use your hand to see how many of your hands you need to make 30cm. This will help when estimating the length of objects. Miss Phull needs only 1 and ¾ of her hand to make 30cm!
Your task!
Extension: estimate and measure the
length!English LI: To write an dilemma to a story. Today, you are going to write your dilemma to your story. Follow on from the line in our build up: Tristan knew that he should not continue looking into the viewer but something compelled him to continue. He could not peel his eyes away. Suddenly, everything turned dark…

Dilemma
When Tristan opened his eyes, everything had changed.
Crouching in front of him was a frail, young child crying
into his open palms. As far as he could see, no one else
was around; there was a blanket of crimson dust
covering the dry earth. Tears began to trickle down
Tristan’s face. He didn’t know if it was because of the
dust or his fear. His heart began to race and his palms
became wet with sweat. Where was he? How did he get
here? The silence was profound; all he could hear were
the sobs of this young child. Who was he? Where were
his parents? As he tentatively walked closer to the boy,
he recognised him: the boy from the flickering images.
He was inside the viewer. Alone and afraid. How was he
going to get home…?Success Criteria Sentence Starters

Morning work – Maths!
Today you have two challenges to try. You will need to refresh your knowledge on
rounding up to the nearest 2 d.p. Look at the image or worded steps to help you.
The rules for rounding decimals are the same
as the rules for whole numbers.
Step 1: Decide on the place the number is to
be rounded to.
Step 2: Look at the first digit to the right of
that place.
Step 3: If the digit is equal to or more than 5,
round up
Step 4: If the digit is less than 5, round down.
Step 5: We may drop the zeros.
Example:
Round 74.862 to the nearest tenths
Solution:
The digit at the tenth place is 8.
The digit to the right of 8 is 6.
Since 6 > 5 we round up.Answers A= B=

LI: To answer word problems involving
capacity and measurementToday, you will be answering word
problems using capacity and
measurement!
You will need to convert units of
measurement and
Also use the correct operation
(addition, subtraction,division,
multiplication) to solve the problem
and identify the answer!
Make sure you use the conversion
chart as help and guidance. Always
underline key information (words
that determine the operation that
needs to be used, units of
measurement, objects or items
needed)• 1. Annie has 4L in her bottle and drinks 875ml of water. How much does she have left? First underline the key information Annie has 4L in her bottle and drinks 875ml of water. How much does she have left? How much does she have left indicates that we need to subtract to find the final capacity of the bottle. The amounts we need to subtract are 4L and 875ml but we need to make sure they are the same unit of measurement! Let’s change 4L to Ml. 4 x 1000 = 4000 ml Now subtract 4000 – 875 = (Use column method if you need to!) You should get an answer of 3,125ml The answer is: Annie has 3,125 ml (or 3.125 L as to convert between millilitres and Litres you must divide by 1000) left in her water bottle.
2. A dog weighs 45kg, he eats a total of 2,450g
over a 7 day period. How much does he weigh in
total in Kg?
• Underline the key information
• A dog weighs 45kg, he eats a total of 2,450g over a 7 day period. How much does he weigh in
total?
The word ‘total’ indicates that you must use addition to find the answer!
We need to add 45kg and 2,450g together but we need to make sure the units of measurement
are the same!
Let’s convert 45kg into grams.
45 x 1000 = 45,000 g
Now (use column method if you need to) subtract 45,000 and 2,450.
You should get 42,550
Convert 42,550g back into Kg
42,550 divided by 1000 = 42.55Kg
Your answer is: The dog now weighs a total of 42.55Kg in total after consuming 2,450g of food.Now answer these word problems using your
knowledge on capacity and measurement!
• 1. Leo measures the classroom and finds
that the length is 12.56 metres. He then
measures a different classroom and he finds
that the measurement is 2,342cm. What is
the difference in length between the
classrooms in metres?
2. Jesse started with 14L of orange juice and
her friend drank 758 ml of the juice, how
much does she have left in ml?
3. A rock weighs 67Kg, a builder comes and
adds an extra 4,432g of weight. How much
does the rock weigh now in Kg?Answer these word problems using your knowledge on
capacity and measurement!
• 4. A car travels a distance of 67,342 metres. To reach
its final destination, the car needs to travel a further
17.2Killometres. How many Km does the car travel in

• 6. Jasmine bakes a cake and needs 752 grams of
flour, she then needs to add 67 grams of butter.
What is the total mass in milligrams of the items?Answers! • 1 = 102.18 metres • 2 = 13,242 millilitres • 3 = 71.432 kilograms • 4 = 8.542 kilometres • 5 = 90.8 centimetres • 6 = 819,000 milligrams
English LI: To write the events section of an alternative ending Today, you are going to write the next section of your stories – the events section. What does Tristan do when he is in this other world? Does he use something in the scenery to help him get home? How? Remember you have to think through the steps of how Tristan will move and what he is thinking at different points of the story. He cannot suddenly be back home with no story in between. Think like an author!
Class Teacher Model Resolution As the wind began to whirl around him, Tristan finally plucked up the courage to move. Cautiously, he crept towards the young boy crouching beneath him, hoping he may have a clue as to how to get back home. He slowly reached out and touched the shoulder of the boy; his shoulder was so frail, all Tristan could feel was pure bone. Startled, the boy looked up at Tristan and stopped crying. Tristan gasped. Next to the boy’s emaciated feet was a replica of Tristan’s box – only much smaller. His eyes were transfixed on the box. What should he do? Touch the box and risk being transported somewhere else? Ignore it? He couldn’t resist it any longer. Tentatively, he kneeled down next to the boy. With his index finger he stroked the lid and another finger and another until he had full grasp of the lid. Without warning, the lid sprung open and he sensed the same feeling of being sucked into the box. Not again. Surely not?

Ending
When Tristan woke in his bedroom, it was as if nothing had changed; the box lay
cracked open on his desk, his dirty laundry was sprawled across the floor and his bed
lay unmade. Cautiously, he walked over to the box and lifted the lid. This time, when
he sifted through the items, there was another disk: a disk showing his life from a child
to an adult. His heart began to race, was he going to end up as a picture like the little
boy he had just seen? Suddenly, he had the urge to get as far away from this
treacherous viewer so that it couldn’t take him away from home again. Without
hesitation, he threw all of the items into the box and closed the latch. He bundled it
under his arm, ran all the way to the city dump, and buried it deep beneath the
detritus. When he finally arrived home and his Mum called him for dinner, he decided
to keep it all a secret; he told her he had been doing some history homework in his
room. The next day at school, he was determined to make some new friends, for
returning to the vast crescent of the city dump was no longer an option.Success Criteria
• Quality/ambitious adjectives to describe the events, what is happening
