Tuesday 21st April – Years 4/5/6
UPDATE: The teachers all agreed that yesterday’s White Rose question 3 was quite tricky! The White Rose website does have a full set of answers. I have saved their solution at the bottom of the page.
Hello everyone and hope you all slept well and are raring to go this morning. This is the view out of my window just now; I’m finding that the bright sunlight and blue skies really helps my mood. Sunlight gives us much needed Vitamin D which we all need after a long winter. Have you noticed how bright the leaves look against the sky? They are almost fluorescent. (Extra challenge – can you find a definition for fluorescent?)
As usual we start with Joe Wicks at 9am. I am beginning to feel a little fitter – how about any of you?
We then have a literacy and a maths task for you to complete.
Our wider curriculum task today is geography based and I hope that you will all create your own maps. If you email them to me (mrs.byfield@wfps.org.uk) then I will post them on the blog and even put the best ones on Twitter!
I’d also like you to think about your wellbeing (using the newspaper article) and what 5 things you can do during lockdown to improve your happiness. Sycamore Class (and anyone else!) you might like to do our Rainbow Breath or Melting exercises.

Hi Freya! I hope you had a relaxing Easter break. Super maths today. All spot on. Well done! Are you going to try the nrich sequencing challenge? I can see you’ve been busy with literacy too.Have a good day. Mrs Bacon 🙂
Literacy
Who: The National Trust
What: Woodland sounds help people relax
Where: In a laboratory. No town was named
Why: Because new research showed woodland sounds help people to relax
When: There are no details about when it happened
Reading takes away stress
Reading can help to reduce stress and anxiety. New research by the book shop Waterstones shows that people feel that reading can take their mind to imaginary places. The study, which took place last September in Northampton, was set up to find out if people felt calmer when reading.
Hi Isabella. Fantastic work! I love your article and you have included all the 5 Ws and a headline. Well done. Your answers to our challenge are correct, but have another look at the ‘when’ for me. Is there something in the piece that gives you an idea? It doesn’t have to be an exact date..
Mrs Bacon 🙂

Hello
I loved page 14 on the Week Junior because solving the mystery of the holes in the T Rex skull was interesting. I think the scientists used an alligator as a test for their theory because its a big reptile that still alive so it is a good test.
From Caleb
This sounds really fascinating Caleb- please can you ask mum to send me a picture of the article because I love thinking about different theories for things- especially dinosaurs!

What-Woodland sound helps us relax.
when- It doesn’t tell you when it happened.
who-The National Trust.
where-in a laboratory.
why- because a new research told us that woodland sounds help us relax more.
MUSIC STUDY FOUND OUT THAT MUSIC HELPS US RELAX MORE
A few days ago a music study found out that music helps us relax more. This was proven by a test were one person was listening to music and the other was having a walk.The test results were the person who was listening to music was 40% more relaxed than the person who was having a walk.This proves that the more we listen to music the more we will be relaxed. If you are wondering what music helps you relax more another test was made and it proved that classic and jazz music relaxes us more than rock and pop.Therefore if you listen to music more it will be better for yourwell being and you’ll be more relaxed.
Hi Klea. I hope you had a good Easter break. Great literacy work. For our Woodland piece have a closer look to solve the ‘when’. It doesn’t have to be an exact date…
Great attempt at your own article. Can you add a where and a who to it? Enjoy your day. Mrs Bacon 🙂
English
Who:the National trust.
What:the relaxation of woodlands.
When:I couldn’t find anything.
Why:because they wanted to help people when they are stressed for they can just go on a walk through woodlands
Where:the laboratory in the U.K
Hi Freya. Good attempt at our Woodland piece challenge. Can you look closer and find the When? It is tricky. It doesn’t have to be an exact date. Think about the What- can you reword your answer- woodland……? I wonder if you can write your own showing the 5 Ws? Enjoy the day. Mrs Bacon 🙂
1. The article is about a study undertaken by the National Trust – on 600 people – to see if we feel more relaxed listening to woodland sounds (such as birdsong, water and wind), meditation or silence.
2. It is not clear from the article when it was written.
3. It is focussed on the National Trust however the study is aimed to reduce people’s stress, so it is about all people with stress.
4. It is about the 28,000 square kilometres of woodland in the UK.
5. The article aims to encourage people to enter woodlands in order to reduce stress.

Good morning Rhys. Wow, you have been super busy this morning!
Literacy- great job at spotting the 5 Ws. In our challenge can you find a word that shows the When in the text? I like your article. Great headline. I am guessing you are the Who?
Maths- Can you just check your answer to No1 for me please? Can you get closer to 5000? Others are correct. 🙂 Great sequence work. I have checked you calculations and they work out. Did you try laying them out and then tweaking the numbers as they showed on nrich maths?
Geography- If you do draw your own map then don’t forget you can email it to Mrs Byfield and she can add it to the blog (only if you want that to happen ! ). mrs.byfield@wfps.org.uk
Have a lovely day. Mrs Bacon 🙂

Relaxing
Relaxing is good for your body
Relaxing is good for your body because it helps you unwind and be calm. I like reading when I want to relax. Instead of a fact book I like reading fiction because it draws me in. I domit all times but I do it most near bedtime. Doing it on my own is good because I can think about what I am reading. Another thing I like is listening to music, but I like making it more because I am concentrating on that and blocking out other things around me.
I made up some number sequences –
1. Adding 2 and then multiplying by 4
2, 16, 72, 296
2. Adding 3 then multiplying by 6
3 – (3+3) x 6 = 36
(36+3) x 6 = 234
(234 +3) x 6 =1422
That’s a lot of maths!
Fantastic work Olivia! Looks like you have been very busy today! Brilliant literacy work, I like listening and playing music to help me relax too. Great maths too, just check number 3 – remember the perimeter is the length of the whole way round the shape, if one side is 7cm long, can the perimeter of the whole shape be 3.45cm?
That is a lot of maths! Well done!
Miss Clancy
Sorry! Mum here , I have been copying Olivia’s answers from her workbook onto the blog as we have 2 children needing the tablet, so it read 3.45cm meaning question 3. Answer 45 cm. My fault
How I relax?
I relax by curling up on my bed and hugging my favourite teddy in silence. Also when I’m angry and need to calm down and sometimes I read my book.
Freya, these sound like good ideas for helping you to relax. Do you listen to music? If you do, does it help? I like to read too, and I agree sometimes it’s good just to be quiet for a while. Have a relaxing afternoon! Mrs Bacon 🙂
Woodland sound article
What- It was about what sounds help you relax such as forest noises, silence and meditation sounds.
When-? I do not know what you mean because there were no dates.
Who-600 people joined a study.
Where-Test were done in a laboratory.
Why-To make people go into the woods more, to help them relax.
The Power Of Meditation
A year ago, 20 children went to a meditation class, and they aged 6 – 10 years old.
The children that went to the group, were very hyperactive and needed to calm down and relax.
Two teachers watched the children from the beginning of the class to the end.
When the lights went down during the last 10 minutes of the session, 1/2 of the class were asleep.
This showed that meditation classes are very useful for children that are hyper!
Also the teachers told parents the children fell asleep in the class, and the parents told the teachers that many of the children slept really well that night.

Good afternoon Rose. Great work. In our Woodland challenge, can you see if there is a word in the piece that will help you answer the When? It doesn’t have to be a set date. ‘Who’ also would be the National Trust. I like your article and really good choice of headline. That in itself tells me What. Super maths- both correct. Did you try the no.3 question with the rectangles? How did you get on with that one? Enjoy the rest of the day. Mrs Bacon 🙂
Who-I am Miriam and I like watching YouTube and I always type in (kids tube) to be safe.
What-YouTube makes you enjoy lots of fun videos and games to watch.
When-I some times watch YouTube and enjoy it and I watch YouTube after school.
Where-I normally watch it at home because we can’t go outside but it is no problem for me.
Why-why I like YouTube is because it’s fun 9 watching lots of changes or maybe movies.
