Maths
For your Maths starter we would like you to look at Week 2, Day 2 of the 'Fluent in 5' booklet above. These tasks are aimed at refreshing skills you have been taught throughout the year so that you remain fluent in them. You can print the pages out or just do them in your home learning book/a piece of paper.
In our main Maths lesson today, we are continuing our work with fractions by developing our skills in adding fractions. Watch the video first (remember to have a pen/paper/whiteboard handy tor the mini - tasks). You can record your answers to the worksheet/challenge on paper and photograph it for us or on a word document that you can attach to an email. Please use the answer sheet to mark your own work and make any corrections. If you email your work to us on the same day it is set, we will be able to give you some specific feedback on any mistakes you made to make sure you understand the concepts now. If you email it later than that, we would still love to see it and we can give you some general/whole class feedback.
N.B. Task time in Maths usually takes about 30 minutes so if you have some time remaining after you have done the core work, have a go at the challenge!

Literacy
Yesterday you should have listened to the Ancient Greek Myth 'Theseus and the Minotaur' and recorded down any key features that you could find. How many did you find? Here are some of them. Please read and discuss with an adult to make sure you understand what each of them mean.
Key Features:
Originally told in Ancient times- approximately 1500-3000 years ago- Are passed down by oral tradition (by word of mouth) from generation to generation
- Contain good characters facing evil or tasks set by evil characters
- Often have unhappy endings or suddenly kill off one of the main protagonists
- Have some sort of message or discussion point to consider, but not a moral
- Some tell the stories of creation and how the world begun; others are based partly on real events
- Tend to have mystical creatures that are unknown to the human world
- Contain heroes and heroines who overcome all obstacles in their way
- Have well-known objects or symbols repeatedly referred to: a box, a labyrinth, a set of wings and so on
- Contain Gods, Goddesses and supernatural forces beyond our world
Please listen to the audio version, below, of this Greek Myth. Whilst doing so look at the list of features above to see if you can spot any. In your notebook/ home learning journal please record down examples of the features you find.
The link below takes you to four worksheets. If possible print these out. You will see four cube nets. Cut them out and make the nets ready for the Literacy lesson on Thursday.

Science
Before we broke up for Christmas we just needed to finish our work on 'Drugs and Alcohol'. Today's lesson is about 'Illegal drugs' and 'alcohol'. Read the powerpoints and complete the tasks for 'Illegal drugs' and read the powerpoint and create a 'two page spread' like we do in class for 'alcohol'. We have included a template to help you structure this.
At the end of the day please read chapter 4 of 'Who Let the Gods out?
