Mathematics

As it is week 10 of Term 3 our maths will look a bit different this week. This week’s math tasks will be focused on breaking a ‘secret code.’

LOST IN SPACE!

The astronauts aboard the International Space Station have just sent out a distress signal, their

navigation system is malfunctioning, and they are beginning to go of course!

The only way to bypass their emergency protocol and reactivate the navigation system is to

follow the clues and find the 4 security codes

The astronauts are relying on you, so make sure you read all the questions carefully and check

your answers with someone else!

Each day a task will be given for you to solve. They are 4 tasks in total – The answers and hidden code numbers are located

on the answer sheet. Please have an adult check your answers to reveal the hidden codes to you.

POBBLE 365 – Picture


Writing – Monday 13/09/2021 – Pobble 365 Tuesday 14/09/2021– Pobble 365


Mondays writing task: Use the Pobble 365 Monday page to answer the questions, sentence challenge and sick sentences.

Question time:

1. What does it mean by 'Jake could not believe his eyes'?

2. Where do you think Jake and his dad were going?

3. What might have caused the road to behave in this way? Was it alive?

4. What do you think Jake and his dad should do next?

5. Why was there nobody else on the road?

6. Where do you think the road leads?

Sentence Challenge: Can you use your senses to describe what Jake has experienced?

✓ What can he hear, see, smell, taste and feel. ✓ Try to use a range of adjectives, adverbs and similes. For example... ✓ The long, never-ending road roared like a jumbo jet taking off as it writhed about angrily in the air like a rattlesnake striking its

prey.

Sick sentences: These sentences are ‘sick’ and need help to get better. Can you help?

The road was long. It was straight. It started to move. It was scary.


Tuesdays writing task: Use the Pobble 365 Tuesday page to complete the story starter and picture perfect.

Story starter: Continue the story using the story starter section For Tuesdays writing task.

It had been a normal journey so far, but things were about to change.

For miles and miles, the only sound that filled Jake's ears had been the comforting hum of the car engine as they drove along the highway. So comforting in fact that he had dozed off, only to be awoken by the sudden jolt as his dad slammed the brakes on the car.

Jake could not believe his eyes...

Picture perfect: Imagine if the road outside your school or home started to do this! Can you draw what it might look like?

You Can Do It – Random Acts of Kindness Researchers have conducted studies which show that when you do something kind for someone else, it genuinely makes you feel happier. When you feel happier, you are more likely to do more kind things for other people. So, the cycle continues. Being kind also helps the other person feel happier too, so it's a fantastic habit to get into! Examples are: Asking how someone is feeling and how you can help, if they look upset Writing a thank you note to someone Doing a chore for someone else Holding the door open for someone Giving a compliment

ACTIVITY ✓ Write a thank you message to someone who has helped you in some way, with a genuine statement of

thanks.

✓ Draft the text first in your workbook then write it on the card when they are satisfied with the wording.
