Homework Challenges 

Maths

Amy went into her local stationery shop. Her mum had given her £2.50 to spend.

Amy liked the look of some luminous pens, which cost 15p each, and some fancy pencils, which cost 10p each. 

She bought four times as many pens as pencils and was given 40p change.

How many of each did she buy?

Literacy 

Watch the following clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uCkYZG0qQAo 

Using the clip above, write a set of instructions which outline the steps that the person on the clip took to create the painting. 

You will need to think about: 

1. The materials used by the artist

2. How the artist used these materials to create a 'cave painting'

Try to use imperative verbs and accompanying adverbs where possible. 

Religious Education

Forgiveness

Read through the following scenarios: 

1. Noah is playing with a ball in the playground when an older pupil takes it away from him.

2. Someone laughed at Toby because he didn’t get anything right in the spelling test.

3. Somebody hit Jessica in the playground and called her a mean name.

4. No one will play with Oliver at playtime, even though he asked to join in the games. 

5. Emily spent a long time drawing a lovely picture but someone scribbled all over it.

6. Amelia is upset because her friends aren’t talking to her and she doesn’t know why.

7. Brian accidentally knocked over Christina whilst playing tag on the yard. 

Now rank these in order (with 1 being the easiest to forgive and 7 being the most difficult to forgive). 

Explain why you have ordered these in the way you have (i.e. why do you think that some wrongs are easier to forgive than others?)

Science

Using the PowerPoint below, create a poster showing the forces you can see in your everyday life e.g. swings, door handles (push and pull), chair, tables standing still (gravity). Try to use diagrams and written text to explain how each force works in action.

• A drawing of the flag
• Capital city
• Population
• Staple foods
