Week 2 - 18/1/21 Learning for P.6

If you have any questions, please ask me on glow and I will try my best to help you.

Spelling

Monday – Look up the meaning of five of your spelling words using a dictionary and write them down.

Tuesday- Write two synonyms for five of your spelling words. You can use a thesaurus, the internet or think of words yourself with similar meanings.

Wednesday – Write a basic sentence and then an uplevelled sentence for three of your spelling words.

Thursday – Learn how to spell the words with someone from your family.

· Spelling Week 2

Reading

Task 1 – Reading Target.

Set your reading target for this week. It could be a continuation of the book that you were reading last week or a novel with a completely different genre. For example, if you read a science fiction book last week you could choose a mystery book this week. Why don’t you challenge yourself by reading more pages than you read last week.

Task – In no more than 200 words summarise what you read.

Task - Animal Weather Forecasters? Skill – Summarise the text in 100 words and then answer the questions in full sentences.

Maths

Task 1,2,3 and 4 - Prime numbers.

Task 5 and 6 – Square numbers.

Mental – division of 3 digits.

Learning about 3 ‘D’ shapes. -There are more nets available for you to use to create more complicated 3 ‘D’ shapes and to discuss their properties with a family member.

What is the difference between Weather and Climate?

L.I. Learning the difference between weather and climate.

I know that the weather is different from the climate of a place.

I understand that there are different climates across the world.

I am able to explain the difference between weather and climate.

The Weather

Weather is a specific event—like a rainstorm or hot day—that happens over a few hours, days or weeks. Climate is the average weather conditions in a place over 30 years or more.

Weather describes the conditions outside right now in a specific place. For example, if you see that it’s raining outside right now, that’s a way to describe today’s weather. Rain, snow, wind, hurricanes, tornadoes — these are all weather events.

Climate, on the other hand, is more than just one or two rainy days. Climate describes the weather conditions that are expected in a region at a particular time of year.

Is it usually rainy or usually dry? Is it typically hot or typically cold? A region’s climate is determined by observing its weather over a period of many years—generally 30 years or more.

So, for example, one or two weeks of very hot weather wouldn’t change the fact that Scotland typically has a mild, cool and wet climate.

Task 1 - Watch the following video https://climatekids.nasa.gov/weather-climate/

While watching the video you can write your notes below.

Your next task is to record the weather data for each of the places. It is the same as what we do in school.

Task 3

Compare the weather for each of these countries and write in detail what you noticed. Think about how close the country is to the equator. Is there a link between the sun /equator and the climate of a country?

Extension (Optional)

Climate

Different areas of the world have different climates. Climate is influenced by lots of different things, including:

· how near or far a country is from the Equator.

· how near or far a country is from the sea.

· how high or low the ground is.

· The country’s position on a continent.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/z849q6f/articles/z7dkhbk

The Earth’s climate is driven by energy from the sun which arrives in the form of heat. Half of this energy travels through our atmosphere and reaches the Earth’s surface.

The other half is either absorbed by the atmosphere or reflected back into space. Because the Earth is a sphere, the sun’s rays reach the earth’s surface in polar regions at a much more slanted angle than at equator. So straight away, we know that the Poles are colder than the Equator.

When things aren’t in balance, nature likes to even things out. So, the extra energy at the Equator needs to be spread across the planet and it’s this that creates different climate zones across the world.

Warm air rises at the equator and moves toward the poles. Where warm, wet air rises, we get thunderstorms and tropical rainforests. Where air sinks, it stops clouds from forming – so it rains less, even making deserts.

Task 4 - Showing your understanding.

After reading the four paragraphs above, try to draw a diagram to show the information that it explains. Remember to label and colour it appropriately. Try and have these words shown on your diagram – sun, heat, energy, Earth, tilt, equator, atmosphere, climate and warm air.

How many climate zones are there and how do they differ?

1. Tropical

Around the Equator we have tropical climates which are hot and humid. This is where you’ll find the world’s rainforests.

2. Arid

Arid or dry climates – like you’d find in deserts.

3. Temperate

Temperate climates - This is where summers are mild and winters aren’t too cold.

4. Continental

In areas that are a very long way from the sea, the climate is continental with long, cold winters and short, hot summers.

5. Polar

Polar climates - which experience long periods of extreme cold.

The oceans also have a part to play in influencing our weather and climate.

Task 5

Climates of the world.

Colour in the different climate zones on the map. Use this key:

Polar = light blue Temperate = light green Continental /Mediterranean= pink

Arid /Desert = orangeTropical = purple

L.I : to identify the global pattern of climatic zones

Fill in this table with information about the different climatic zones:

Polar

Temperate

Continental

Arid/Desert

Tropical

Temperature range

What is winter like?

What is summer like?

What animals live in this climate?

What other countries have this climate?

L.I. – To be able to understand what a prime number is.

Factors are the numbers that you multiply to get another number.

2 and 3 are factors of 6 because 2x3 =6

Prime numbers are the numbers that have only two factors. What are the factors of 3? 1 and 3.

Because 3 has only two factors, it is a prime number.

Composite numbers are the numbers that have more than two factors.

What are the factors of 6? 1, 2, 3, and 6. Because 6 has more than two factors, it is a composite number.

Task1 - Find all of the prime numbers between 1 and 100

In red, cross out all of the even numbers (multiples of 2).

In blue, cross out all of the multiples of 3 (numbers in the 3 times table).

In black, cross out all of the multiples of 5 (numbers in the 5 times table).

In green, cross out all of the multiples of 7 (numbers in the 7 times table).

In pink, cross out all of the multiples of 9 (numbers in the 9 times table).

In yellow, cross out all of the multiples of 11 (numbers in the 11 times table).

 

Task 2 - Which numbers are left?

Check that these numbers are prime. They should only have two factors. There should be 25 prime numbers left. 2 is the only even number that is prime. 1 is not a prime number

L.I. I am learning about square numbers.

I know that square numbers represent a square.

I understand that to calculate a square number you multiply it by itself.

I am able to calculate square numbers.

Square numbers are numbers that form perfect squares. An easy way of finding square numbers is multiplying a number by itself.

For example, 1 x 1 = 1, 2 x 2 = 4, 3 x 3 = 9, 4 x 4 = 16. These are all square numbers.
