WALT _{calculate area of composite rectilinear shapes.}

I know how to partition a compound shape to work out its area. I can find total area of composite rectilinear shapes using different operations.

I can explain my reasoning when finding the area of compound shapes.

1. Review the prompt below to help you recall how to partition a composite

2. Watch the White Rose Maths clip - attempt to work out the answers to each question on scrap paper (like you would in your GNB).

3. Check your answer by continuing to watch the clip - the ‘virtual’ teacher will work through each question with you.

Main Activity - Step 2

1. Download a copy of ‘Beech Class - Calculate Area of Compound Shapes’ from the

Beech Class page of the school website.

2. Show full working for each question, including writing the answer with the correct unit of measure. For example, millimetres² (mm²), centimetres² (cm²) or metres² (m²).

3. Once completed, check your answers by downloading of a copy of ‘Beech Class -

WALT _{write a non-chronological report.}

I know the structure of a non-chronological report.

I can include a range of detailed facts within my non-chronological report. I can explain points in greater detail through including embedded (relative) clauses.

Warm Up

Watch the BBC Bitesize clip, which will introduce you to non-chronological reports and think about:

1. What is needed to write a good non-chronological report?

2. What features are required? Can you remember any technical language to describe the features?

Main Activity - Step 1

Both today and tomorrow, you are going to write a non-chronological report based on your research from Monday’s fact-finding lesson:

1. Download a copy of ‘Beech Class - Arctic Animals Non-Chronological Report’ from the Beech Class page of the school website to use as a model.

2. Look back at your mind-maps, fact lists and/or sentences including embedded relative clauses to remind yourself of your chosen topic.

3. If you are using a computer to write your non-chronological report, please ensure you save a copy - you can also handwrite if you wish.

4. You MAY copy and paste (or copy if handwritten) additional

research/photos from the internet to speed up the writing process, HOWEVER…

5. If you do copy and paste (or copy if handwritten) text from the internet, please edit it carefully to ensure it includes embedded relative clauses to hit the success criteria.

Main Activity - Step 2

Follow the structure over the next two days to write a non-chronological report about your chosen topic:

1. A Heading - For example, Awe-inspiring Arctic Animals. 2. Introductory Paragraph - For example:

‘The Arctic region, which is found in the northernmost part of Europe, has an

extremely harsh and unforgiving climate. There are several awe-inspiring animals, who have all adapted to this inhospitable environment, that call the Arctic home. In the Artic, where conditions can cause even the snow to feel a chill, animals are required to hunt to survive.’

(*Mr Terry did copy and paste this information from the internet, but added embedded [relative] clauses to hit the success criteria) 3. A subheading - For example, The Arctic Fox

4. Report (below subheading) - For example:

‘The Arctic Fox, which often glides camouflaged across the white snow, is an animal that can survive frigid temperatures. In summer, the Arctic Fox is a blueish brown to grey colour. However, by winter its long, luscious fur has turned pure white. The white of the fur, that the Arctic Fox to keep warm, helps it to camouflage from its predators and also to remain hidden from its prey until it is ready to pounce! Arctic Foxes, who have successfully adapted to the freezing temperatures over time, have many

adaptations to survive in the treeless environment. They have short bushy tails (that they curl around them for warmth); their ears are curled and tiny – to reduce heat-loss; and their paws are wide so that their surface areas is increased and they become less likely to slip.’

(*Again… Mr Terry did copy and paste this information from the internet, but added embedded [relative] clauses to hit the success criteria)
