This week I have really enjoyed looking at all the models you created of the WW2 vehicles, sharing the facts you found out and seeing all the creative ways you have tackled the ‘Make Do and Mend’ task. I can’t wait to get all the photographs up on display.
Maths
For your homework, we will start with some firework Mathematics.
Imagine you are holding a firework party. What fireworks would you buy?
Complete at least one of the tasks below.
- Buy 2 different fireworks. How much would they cost? Repeat with different combinations.
- Imagine you have £25 to spend. What would you buy? How close can you get to spending £25 without going over?
- The shop offers to sell all the fireworks on a 3 for 2 deal with the cheapest firework free. Choose 3 fireworks. Compare how much it would cost you with and without the offer.
English
As part of our work based on ‘The Lion and the Unicorn’ book, I asked you to write a piece of persuasive description to make me want to eat the WW2 porridge.
“Come and get a bowl of delightful, creamy porridge topped with freshly grown strawberry slices and covered in drizzly syrup.” – Freya
Think about the foods that you could eat at a Bonfire Party. Write some descriptive sentences to make the foods sound as appealing as possible.
