Complete this lesson to remind yourself of the different ways that you could use commas.

Extra task: Make a poster that explains how to use commas. You could focus on one type of comma (i.e. commas in a list) or on all commas. Make it clear and bright. Send them to me as I would like to put them on the blog and up in the Year 6 classroom so other children can use them to help with their writing.
Maths:
Today, we are going to recap some key maths skills: square numbers, square roots and cube numbers.
First up: square numbers.
Can you remember what square numbers are?
If I said 4² what would the answer be?
4² = 16
Remember that this symbol ² is the symbol for squared and it means the number times by itself.
4² =
4 x 4 = 16
What about this one:
6² =
6 x 6 = 36
So 6² = 36
Have a go at these questions.
Now check your answers:
Now let’s look at square roots. They look like this:
√64 (often the little tick at the front has a line that goes across the top of the numbers)
Square root is the opposite of squared numbers i.e.
8² = 64
√64 = 8
You are working out what has been multiplied together to get that answer.
√100 =
For this you would say ‘what has been times by itself to get 100?’
10 x 10 = 100 therefore √100 = 10
Here is another:
√49 =
‘What times by itself = 49?’
7 x 7 = 49 therefore √49 = 7.
Try these questions yourself:
Now check your answers:
Now let’s look at cube numbers. What can you remember?
What is the answer to 4³?
4³ = 64
Can you remember why?
This symbol ³ means cubed. It is when you use the following calculation:
Number multiplied by itself then multiplied by itself again.
4³ =
(4 x 4) x 4 =
(16) x 4 =
16 x 4 = 64
4³ = 64
Let’s try another one:
7³ =
(7 x 7) x 7 =
49 x 7 = 343
7³ = 343
Try these questions now:
a) 3³ b) 8³ c) 2³ d) 10³
e) 11³ f) 9³ g) 1³ h) 4³ i) 7³
j) 5³ k) 12³ l) 15³ m) 6³ n) 13³
Now check your answers:
Finally complete these challenges:

Science:
Over the next few weeks, we will be going over some of the scientific knowledge that we have learnt this year and some that you will have learnt in previous years.
This week we will begin with reversible and irreversible changes.
What can you remember?
Vocabulary:
Reversible – able to be changed
Irreversible – unable to be changed
What changes can you think of that are:
– Reversible i.e. water freezes to make ice and can be turned back into water by warming it up.
– Irreversible i.e. egg yolk starts off as a liquid. When it is cooked it becomes a solid and can not be changed back.
Can you think of any other examples?

Other tasks you could do today:
- Go to https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/group/p08b0ct7 and watch a Shakespeare play for free.
- Go to Saints TV on YouTube and watch an old Saints game.
- Complete some activities on your NPAT Reading Bingo challenge
- Go on a virtual tour of Buckingham Palace and learn about royal history at https://www.royal.uk/virtual-tours-buckingham-palace
- Complete some science experiments at http://www.sciencefun.org/kidszone/experiments/
- Go on a virtual tour of Ancient Mayan ruins at http://sunfunnelmedia.com/pano/xunantunich/Xunantunich-belize-mayan-ruin-pyramid-virtual-tour.html
- Make a time capsule about your time in lockdown that you can look back on in years to come and share with your children or grandchildren. https://kidsofthewild.co.uk/2020/03/29/make-a-time-capsule-coronavirus-covid-19-kids/ here are some ideas to help you out.
- Create a garden scavenger hunt that all of your family can take part in. It could be as simple as find a stick, find a red insect or you could create clues that they have to follow to find the ‘treasure’.

Great work Ebony!!
The warm up was wrong because there were three people not 2 and it said the waiter gave each of them one pound e( which eaquals 3 pound) and kept two pound for himself that all together eaquals 5 pounds add the 25 pounds eaquals 30 so there is no missing pound.
It wasn’t wrong – that missing pound has gone somewhere.
sorry about that I had some confusion with the question there is a pound missing
