Good morning class 4 
It's been so nice hearing how you're getting on and to see you trying so hard with your tasks! Well done!
I've been sent some more images of your creatures great and small and introducing:
Rick, Meghan's dog. He isn't enjoying this self-isolation business at all - I think he's hoping they're about to take him on some long, exotic walk but it's probably just a ride out to the Co-op
Now here's a dog we hear of a lot of - Nudli - a small dog, so naturally he needs a small football too! I love his neckerchief
And finally here's some of a collection of Bea's pets; this is Buddy the guinea pig - he's carefully studying the ingredient list to check it's a guinea-pig-friendly Easter egg
And look at the two extra students we've picked up. No wonder your work station is so full if three of you are sharing it.

Maths
First of all please begin by logging into times table rockstars and racking up our points - do we really want class 3 claiming victory over us? We'll never hear the end of it. Sort them out! (10 - 15 mins is a good amount of time)
Group one: One or two of you mentioned that you wanted more practice with translations - so that's what we'll do. The problem is I didn't plan for it in your packs so I'll try my best to set something we can do. Firstly print one of the quadrant sheets again (sorry if you're having to keep drawing these!)
-Single quadrant grids-V291929980.pdf-
So translating shapes means to just move them. See the square below? We're going to translate it 3 squares down and 4 to the right.
So for me to be able to do that, I'm going to need to plot each co-ordinate/corner of the square in its new position. So I'm going to count 3 squares down and then 4 squares right - I'll choose the 'B' corner first. Can you see how I've counted down 3 squares from B and then counter 4 squares right? Now I'll mark the position with a cross and that's where that corner of the square will be once it's moved.
Can you see how I moved it down three and right four? Well now I'll need to do that again for each corner of the shape. So I'll do the 'D' corner now.
And for corner A... and you guessed it, finally for corner 'C' too
We've now translated the whole shape 3 squares down and 4 right. So all is left to do is join it up (using a ruler)
So to recap, translating just requires you to count the squares from each corner to their new location and then join it together.
So if you did column B yesterday then please try C and if you did C then do B.
All I would like you to do however is just the first 2 questions. Copy the hexagon (the 6 sided shape) onto your printed quadrant, making sure the co-ordinates are exactly as they are on the sheet.
Then draw the heptagon (the 7 sided shape, which looks like an arrow) on the other quadrant.
Now for number 1) translate that 6 sided shape following the instructions, so for 'a' moving it left 3 and then up 2 but do it in another colour so you can see it clearly.
Then for b) move the original shape (the one you first drew) right 2 and down 4 but again do it in a different colour
and then for C) translate the original shape (the one you first drew) left 5 and down 6.
By the end of it all the one quadrant would have four exactly the same shapes on it all in different locations
Now do the same for the other shape in Q2)
If you do want a challenge, try downloading these 3 sats questions based on translating; it's actually much simpler to follow
-Translating.pdf-
Group 2: Can you do column C of the same page you did yesterday (page 10) if you did do column C already then have a go at doing some of those extension questions in your pack. Try the first four.
English -
I've seen some nice poems which you completed yesterday based upon the sound collector. We're going to do some more based upon that today.
Re-read the sound collector again but I want you to take notice of the actual noises mentioned in each line.
-sound collector-V291933808.doc-
You'll notice that each line has a sound within it. It's not a story, it's a list of sounds. You might notice that sometimes 2 lines are also about the same sound but it's been split into two to keep each line the same length.
Look at these pictures of a busier London than today's
Currently all these scenes can not exist; it's almost as if the sound collector has been and taken them all. What sounds would you have imagined London to have had just a few weeks ago? People chattering, buses whiz by, Taxi horns, clocks bonging, churches chiming, market sellers shouting, "Three for a pound." What else can you imagine? Think of the types of things you find in London, the transport, the famous places, the people who visit... all those sounds gone. Can you capture that into another version of the Sound Collector poem, starting off with the same first and last stanza
Here's mine
The Sound Collector
A stranger called this morning
Dressed all in black and grey
Put every sound into a bag
And carried them away.
The clicking of the cameras
The sound of buses passing by
The chiming of Big Ben's clock
The planes roaring through the sky
The chatter of lunching folk
The underground's 'Mind the gap'
The whiring of police sirens
Tourists rustling their city map.
The marching of the Queen's guards
The sound of children laugh
The bankers counting money
Water flowing in a fountain's bath
The blaring of the church bells
whilst taxies sound their horn
The crying of the market sellers
Hard workers giving their loudest yawn
The never sleeping city
The beeping of the traffic light
Discos pumping music
This feels like London's longest night.
A stranger called this morning
He didn’t leave his name
Left us only silence
Life will never be the same.
So your task is to write your own version, thinking of London/city sounds which can not be heard at the moment. Each line must contain a sound. If you're short of ideas, think of a sound and then consider what could make that sound.
I really want to hear these so send them in via purple mash or a word document to my email if you'd like.
Finally do one reading plus.
That's it for today,
Mr Breckon
