Literacy- LI: Can I respond to feedback?

Challenge: You have this session to go back to your Habitat Paragraph and read the feedback from your teachers. 

Check you have everything you need to type up, edit your paragraph. If you need help with this your teachers are available this morning to point you in the right direction- just message your questions to your class channel! 

Brain Break 

Connected Learning: Can I design?

Think about the factors to consider listed last lesson:

Challenge 1: Once you have checked the section above, then you need to make a table like the one below for your animal (the one you are writing about in Literacy) which shows what your animal enclosure will need. This is your success criteria.

Example:

Enclosure Keywords

Challenge 2: Now draw an aerial design of your enclosure. Use your Maths learning to see if you can draw your enclosure to scale, for example could 1cm of your drawing be equal to 1m in real life? Experiment and see! If this would be too small, perhaps see if 2cm of your drawing could be worth 1m in real life.

Example: An aerial view of a football stadium.

Chapter 1: Junior Keeper Wolfram

Chapter 1: Junior Keeper Wolfram

Wolfram Robard let out a cavernous yawn, stretched his arms high over his head and sat up in his small, cosy bed. He’d been a junior keeper at the Magical Menagerie Zoo for what felt like forever, but even so he could never get used to getting up so early. But get up early he must, because he had to feed all the fantastic creatures that were in his care.

Just cooking the thirty-eight whole chickens that the driglenox would eat every morning took Wolfram a full hour. It then took him another half an hour to feed the chickens one at a time to the driglenox through the tiny hole in the driglenox enclosure, all the while being very careful to keep his hands out of the way of the greedy beast’s razor sharp teeth and claws. Once, a few weeks ago, Wolfram hadn’t been paying attention and before he knew what was happening the driglenox had accidentally bitten off his little finger and wolfed it down in one gulp! Embarrassed and in a lot of pain, Wolfram had sprinted straight to old Senior Keeper Merbun for help. Merbun had spent a full minute laughing cruelly at the poor boy before using his keeper magic to grow Wolfram a new finger...

Not only did Wolfram have the huge driglenox to feed, he also had to melt down five kilograms of pure iron to make a metal smoothie for the lava-foxes to drink. And just yesterday Wolfram had tripped a little when carrying the pan of boiling iron over to the lava-foxes and unfortunately one tiny drop of the scorching liquid had landed on his boot... He’d managed to wriggle his foot out of the way before the iron had made it through the tough leather of his shoe, but now he had a boot with a hole burned all the way through it!

If Senior Keeper Merbun saw it, then Wolfram knew he would be in BIG trouble for damaging his uniform and for being careless. Oh well, at least the lava-foxes were cute and didn’t try and eat Wolfram as he fed them like the driglenox did...

Finally, after the driglenox and the lava-foxes, Wolfram would stop by and see the mother and baby floop he looked after and sing a song for them to eat for their breakfast. Yes, that’s right, even though they were the size of a house, floops only ate songs. That was maybe the hardest part of Wolfram’s morning, because he had to think up a new song every day, since everybody knew that floops would also never eat the same song twice! Wolfram was embarrassed about his singing, so he really didn’t enjoy having to stand next to the floop enclosure and belt out a Taylor Swift song at thet op of his voice first thing in the morning! But every day, Wolfram did what he had to do. He did his duty. And he hummed happily the entire time.

Why?

Because one day, one magical day, Wolfram knew he would get promoted and become a senior keeper. But, for now, he had to get through another morning of back-breaking work. Sighing, Wolfram got out of his warm bed and slipped on his keeper uniform, including one boot with a hole burned all the way through it...

Maths  LI: Can I solve addition problems?

Challenge: Today you will use the animal pen/enclosure that you created earlier in the week when we were calculating the perimeter. 

Today you will improve the animal pen/enclosure by adding items such as fences, rocks and trees. Once you have added the items to your design, your challenge is to calculate the cost of the items you have chosen. 

Here is an example of the learning;

Here is an example of using the expanded column method for the addition of two three digit numbers;
