Wider Curriculum
Task 1 – Science

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:

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.
