2.Click start lesson.

3.There is a quiz. If you don’t want to complete this, click ‘next activity’.

Wider Curriculum

 

Task 1 – Science

Vertebrates and Invertebrates

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/z4m6hbk

Animals can be classified as either vertebrates or invertebrates.

Invertebrates are animals that don’t have a backbone.

Vertebrates are animals that have a backbone inside their body.

Bonus challenge – can you make a poster or PowerPoint presentation to share your knowledge of vertebrates and invertebrates?

 

Task 2 – Geography 

Time Zones

Do you remember a couple of weeks ago you explored the features of maps? This next geography lesson is all about time zones.

Watch the videos and complete the activities on this page:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/z48fvk7

Too much screen time?

Can you practise telling the time? Could you make yourself a timetable for tomorrow? Think about how long you will spend on each activity.

 

Task 3 – Art

Rangoli patterns

A Rangoli is a colourful design made on the floor using coloured rice powder. It is often used by Hindus throughout Diwali. Another form of Rangoli pattern is Mendhi which is used to decorate hands and feet during festivals and weddings.

Rangoli patterns usually include symmetry, reflection and tessellation.

Tessellation is a pattern made of one or more shapes:
• the shapes must fit together without any gaps

Have a go at making your own Rangoli patterns. These are great fun to create with chalk on the floor outside – please ask an adult at home first!

Otherwise, you could draw and colour your own on paper.

This website has some free templates that you can use to get you started.
