Maths
For your Maths starter we would like you to look at Week 3, Day 3 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 moving onto the first of two lessons looking at 'dividing fractions by integers'. 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!

This is our second lesson in our new topic where we are considering how and why (and if it's right!) that religious people express their beliefs through arts and architecture. We began last week by revisiting why some places are regarded as 'sacred' to people of faith. Hopefully, you have had the opportunity to find some images such as churches, mosques and cathedrals. Did you find any buildings that inspired 'awe' in you? Send us a copy if you did.
Today we are going to focus on Mosques as sacred spaces. Remember a mosque is the sacred building of the Muslim Faith. Take a few moments to ask yourself:
What do you know about mosques, Muslims and the Muslim community?
In Islamic art and architecture there are no images of Allah and, for many Muslims, no image of humans because they believe that such images mislead rather an enlighten us. Instead geometric and natural pattern is used to create beauty.
One of the first mosques in the UK was built in 1889, in Woking. You can have a look at if here:

Do you remember when we went to our local mosque in Derby last year? Here are some photographs of our visit:

Do you remember when we went to our local mosque in Derby last year? Here are some photographs of our visit:
Over the last 125 years, more and more mosques have opened; there are about 1750 in 2016. There are about 30 000 church buildings, as a point of comparison) They serve the Muslim community, which is about 4.5% of the people in the UK, about 2.7 million people.
Activity:
Why does Britain have over 1750 mosques?
Here are some possible reasons. Look at all the suggestions and rank them from 1 (the most likely explanation) to 9 ( the least likely explanation). You can do this by downloading and printing the grid out then cutting up and arranging the cards in rank order or, if you are not able to do that, just copy the grid onto pieces of paper and rank them like that.

We are now going to consider our enquiry question with specific reference to Mosques. Follow the link and complete today's activity. Please send us a copy of this activity to mark.
