Happy Wednesday everybody! That means we are half-way through the week. 

Today is supposed to be SCORCHING weather so put sun-cream on if you are outside. This is perfect weather for studying our novel, Holes, as it is set in Texas where temperatures are often so high it feels STIFLING. I hope you recognise that word. Well done on your area and perimeter work yesterday and lots of you did well telling the time in French. Right, let's see what today's tasks are...

Below are your tasks for today. Remember if you need to ask any questions go to the class blog and add a comment to 24-6-20 TODAY'S WORK. Keep checking the comments on this BLOG because that is where we will post our replies to you.

RE

L.O The Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick for those who are very ill.

In today’s lesson we will learn about a sacrament (A gift from God) that you may not be very familiar with. Go to the RE folder on the class page. Read through the slides and then complete the activity at the end. Not many people know a lot about this sacrament, but it is  is one of the most beautiful sacraments and it can really bring peace to those who are ill.

Maths

L.O Area of a Triangle

Well done to the children who did the White Rose Maths on Area and Perimeter yesterday. There was some good reasoning questions for you to answers.

Today we are continuing with area, but we are looking at the area of a triangle.

There are many ways of explaining how to find the area of a triangle. If you look at the blue triangle below you will see it covers half of the rectangle so to find the area, we can calculate the area of the rectangle and divide by 2.

The area of any triangle can be calculated by the formula:

Base x Height) ÷ 2

Another way of looking at it is: 

½ the Base x the Height.

 he area of this triangle is (Base x Height) ÷ 2  (4 x 2) ÷ 2 = 4cm²

                                       or ½ the Base x the Height.  2 x 2 = 4cm²

IMPORTANT: The height has always got to be the vertical height from the base to the tallest point on the triangle. The base and the height you use must be at right angles.

This is called the perpendicular height.

Click on video below. Listen very carefully to the White Rose teacher and then complete the pdf worksheet attached. Once you have finished look at the answers and mark your work.
