Good morning! Just to let you know that I won’t be setting any home learning over half term so today’s post will be the last home learning post of its kind. I hope everyone has a great half term break!
Writing
Yesterday you planned your balanced argument/discussion. You recorded three arguments that support children aged ten and over being able to vote and three arguments against the proposal. You also probably have an opinion of your own. Today I would like you to write up your ideas as a discussion text. To help you I’ve included some prompts below that will remind you how to organise your writing and what you need to include in your text. Your conclusion should summarise the arguments for and against and include your opinion together with the reasons for it.
Follow the link below and watch some short films on espresso that will inspire you to produce a brilliant balanced argument.

Have a go at completing one (or both) of these magic square sheets. The 4×4 squares are harder if you want more of a challenge. The rows, columns and diagonals in the 3×3 squares should all add up to 15; in the 4×4 squares they should add up to 34.

Today’s task:
Chapter 14 Review. Workbook pages 177-180. This review is really supposed to test what you can do on your own but I’ve included a couple of hints below out of the kindness of my heart! There’s no need to thank me really. Good luck!
Hints and tips:
Q1. One of the answers is a decimal less than one. Give your answer to two decimal places eg if when dividing you get an answer of 0.488888 the answer would be 0.49 (the second 8 rounds the first 8 up to a 9).
Q2. Work out how many siblings there are altogether before answering these questions.
