Tuesday 5th May
LC: to use our knowledge of planning to create an effective plan for a narrative write
Let's continue our planning for the model write.
We are going to complete the boxes for
verses 4 and 5 only.
- Look at your image of the creature and the descriptions you wrote.
- How will your hero kill your creature?
Watch your teacher model her plan for verses 4 and 5.
Use the same structure for your plan.
Go to page 101 in Maths No Problem and complete Revision 3.
You should use your jotters and work books to help you.
This is Professor Marie Curie. She was the first woman to achieve many things in science. In 1903, she became the first woman to receive a Nobel prize for her discoveries of radioactive elements. Then in 1911, she was the first person to be awarded a second Nobel Prize. She remains the only person to ever win this award in multiple sciences (the first was for Physics, the second for Chemistry).
Marie overcame many obstacles during her life, from having to attend a secret university in Poland because she was a woman, to being prevented from telling people about her own research for the same reason. Her husband, Pierre, was a scientist too and helped ensure that Marie was credited for her painstaking work.
Professor Marie Curie was skilled and very determined. She worked hard in her laboratory using separation equipment (like that in the photographs). To separate a 0.1 g of radioactive material from several tonnes of pitchblende rock required:
- Grinding the rock
- Dissolving it in acid
- Filtering out the solids
- Evaporating the solution
- Then redissolving, crystallising and recrystallising.
Using these methods, Marie discovered new elements, radium and polonium that gave off rays of heat and light. This heat and light was radioactivity- a dangerous but useful resource.
The UK charity ‘Marie Curie,’ who offer support for people living with terminal illness, was named after her in honour of her work on cancer treatments. Tragically, it is likely that Marie’s death in 1934 was a direct result of the highly radioactive materials she worked with.
LC: to group materials according to their properties
Complete the task on Seesaw.
You are going to investigate which properties are waterproof and which are absorbent.
Write a definition of each in your Science books;
Waterproof materials will ....
3 examples of waterproof materials
1

3
Absorbent materials will ...
3 examples of absorbent materials
1

Carry out your investigation and record images and explanation on Seesaw. Write your findings.
LC: To practice selected words from your spelling list.
Today you will work with your partners to test your spelling words (on Spelling Frame).
Here are some ideas:
Say It, Spell It, Use It”
Pupil A:
- Says the word
- Spells it aloud
- Uses it in a sentence
Pupil B writes it down and checks accuracy.
Look, Cover, Write, Check (Peer Version)
- Partner shows the word
- Covers it
- Other writes it
- Partner checks and gives feedback
Pyramid Writing Challenge
Partner says a word, and the other writes it like this:
s
sp
spe
spel
spell
Spot the Mistake
- One pupil writes a word incorrectly on purpose
- Partner has to find and correct the error
