Morning everyone!
English - today we are going to write a persuasive argument - Boys and girls in Class 5 should not do PE together. I know you may not agree with the statement, but you will need to think of some arguments for this and make your case. Remember - opening paragraph, 3 points, with evidence to back them up, then a conclusion. The conclusion is the most important part today - remember to restate your three main points, briefly, and then make a statement to try and get the reader to agree with you.
Maths - we are looking at capacity and volume this week. Today in class we will be measuring capacity in millilitres or litres so I would like you to find 5 or 6 containers, estimate how much they could hold, then measure them, by pouring water into them, and measuring the amount of water they will hold. Record the amount in both millilitres (e.g. 675 ml) and litres (0.675 l).
You could make a table to record your results.
