Good morning!
Thank you to Sofia, who emailed me her fantastic writing yesterday, which was part of the writing challenge set last Friday by Mr Roundtree-check it out on our class news page.
Maths: angles
Year 6: angles around a point
Today’s task is to calculate missing angles around a point. Remember – angles around a point have a total 360 degrees.
Reading: summarising
When you summarise, you shorten a piece of text and say/write the main, important points.
There are many technique variations for summarising information, such as mind maps, bullet points or story retelling. These are used to discern the who, what, where and when from a piece of text.
For example:
- Who/What – The Tudor family reign.
- When – 1485 to 1603.
- Where – England and Wales
Complete this activity.
You will need a copy of the First News paper again.
Challenge: Go on to the BBC Sport website (https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport), or a different age-appropriate website, and choose an article to read. Once you’ve read it, summarise the article in 20 words. Then, try again in 10 words. After that, have a go at summarising in 5 words. Finally, summarise the article in 1 word.
