This week we will be studying the following:

Maths –  Continued angles work at a highly accurate level plus learning how to calculate the area of parallelograms.

Science – Reversible and irreversible change.

Homework

English

Use your journalistic skills to write a short piece as a Sports Tabloid Editor on our country’s disappointment that Mark Cavendish fell and injured himself badly on the first leg of The Tour de France. Who is he? Why was he important? Why were so many people following his progress? It can be typed up as a real piece of reporting if you wish or write it in your homework book.

Maths

Finding areas of parallelograms – this is new, can you do it?

Break a leg for the show. You have all worked hard - enjoy it.

I have enjoyed reading your comments on the The Tomb Raiders, well done to the 11 who have blogged so far, you found it fascinating. The deadline is tomorrow.

Your homework task is to read Tomb Raiders by Monday. Take your time and read a chapter at a time if you wish, as you have an unusual week with most of you visiting your new schools. When you have completed the book, explain to me on the blog why you think discovering Tutankhamun’s tomb was so important historically. Also, do you think the curse of the mummy could really have existed? What would have been a more logical explanation? Publish a short blurb blog. Remember to click ‘anonymous’ but to write your name at the end of your blurb.

Maths

Complete the angles task in your A4 maths books using a sharp pencil and a protractor.
