27. Can you write 2 sentences that includes a

Try to use different fronted adverbials.

29. WALT: Understand Science and Gravity
 Gravity is the force that is everywhere and pulls things towards it.
 The greater the mass and size of an object the more gravity it has.
 Every object (including you!) has a gravitational pull but it is only
really seen in action if one of the objects is really, really big.
 The Earth, for example, is big enough to have a gravitational pull
that keeps us down on the ground rather than floating.
 Gravity keeps all of the planets (including Earth) in orbit around
the Sun. It also keeps the Moon in orbit around the Earth.
 Sir Isacc Newton discovered gravity in 1687
 He researched gravity after sitting under a tree and
having an apple fall on his head because of the force of
gravity.

30. Gravity Experiment
• Try and find two empty water bootles
and fill one half way up
• Which one do you think will drop first?
• Then drop them both at exactly the
same time
• Did one fall to the floor first was it
what you expected?

31. Results from experiment
• Both bottles should fall to the floor
at the same time
• This is because gravity acts the same
on all objects no matter what their
weight is
• What matters most about the speed
an object falls is it's size and air
resistance

WALT: Find fractions of amounts

34. Starter: Recap adjusting and adding 9
1. 14+9=
2. 25+9=
3. 52+9=
4. 64+9=
5. 60+9=
6. 61+9=
7. 271+9=
8. 99+9
Example: 32+9=41
32+10=42-1=41
Do you remember the easy way of adding
9? First you add +10 because it is easier
than adding 9. Then subtract -1 because
you added one too many when you
added 10.

35. Starter: Recap adjusting and adding 9
1. 14+9= 23
2. 25+9= 34
3. 52+9= 61
4. 24+9= 33
5. 60+9= 69
6. 61+9= 70
7. 271+9= 280
8. 99+9 = 108
Example: 32+9=
32+10=42-1=41
Do you remember the easy way of adding
9? First you add +10 because it is easier
than adding 9. Then subtract -1 because
you added one too many when you
added 10.

36. Finding Fractions of amounts Examples
2
3
of 12 = 8 First, divide 12 by
the denominator
Then, multiply 4 by
the numerator
Alwasys remember to:
first DIVIDE BY THE
DENOMINATOR
then TIMES BY THE TOP
1 2 ÷ 3 = 4
4 x 2 = 8

37. Finding Fractions of amounts Examples
3
4
of 20 = 15 First, divide 12 by
the denominator
Then, multiply 4 by
the numerator
Alwasys remember to:
first DIVIDE BY THE
DENOMINATOR
then TIMES BY THE TOP
2 0 ÷ 4 = 5

WALT: Understand Roman numerals

50. The Romans, who were around thousands of
years ago, used different numbers to us.
They used something called Roman Numerals.
Their numbers were made up from letters.

51. The Basics
• The letter I = 1
• If I =1 then II =2 and III =3
• The letter V = 5
• When you write an I infront of a V it means one less and when you write it after
it means one more.
• So IV =4 V =5 VI =6 VII =7 and VII =8
• The letter X = 10
• When you write an I infront of a X it means one less and when you write it after
it means one more.
• So IX =9 X =10 XI =11 and XII = 12

52. Watch the fist 8 minutes of this video for more information:
