Thursday 30th April 2020

The first thing I did this morning was 2 more pages on my brochure.  I did a page on historical sites and a page on skyscrapers.  We found lots of photos online and then I did my Top 5.  This is what I did:

I then moved on to Maths and completed my White Rose Maths worksheet and the Oak National Academy Maths lesson.  This was still on reflection but today I had to apply the rules I had learned yesterday to make predictions about the reflections on the X and Y axis.  I got all of the questions right.

I then did the Joe Wicks PE lesson.  This set me up for lunch!


After lunch I continued to read my book.  I then did the Oak National English lesson. The focus of the lesson was writing character descriptions and relative clauses.  I wrote a description of Darrell Rivers from the Malory Towers books (I'm reading them at the moment).

I also thought about one of the discussion topics set by school.  I chatted with mum about lockdown and travel and how things have changed.  I am missing school and seeing my family and friends.






I then did a science lesson.  Today I learned about rock.  There are 3 types of rock:

• Igneous
• Metamorphic
• Sedimentary

The focus of the lesson was on how igneous rock is formed.  I learned that igneous rock can be formed in 2 ways:

• Extrusive - Outside the crust
• Intrusive - Inside the earth

There was an experiment with chocolate which I recreated.  It shows how the magma comes through the earth's crust as lava and cools quickly.  The solidified lava is extrusive igneous rock.
