The 24 game. 

This is a very simple game that will help you practice your arithmetic skills, and it is a game that you can play with your family.

What you need to play:

• A pack of playing cards (The number cards only)

How to play:

Step 1: Each player picks 4 number cards at random from the pile. 

Step 2: They then need to find a way to manipulate the 4 digits using any of the 4 operations (+, -, x, ÷) so the end result is 24 For example, if they chose 4, 7, 8, 8, they could do (7 – (8÷8) x 4 = 24)

Step 3: If nobody is able to reach 24, you can make it closest wins! 

Sports Challenge

Do you know what makes me happy on a miserable, rainy day? Cwtching up on the sofa watching a good film, so as it's Friday, why not sit back, put your feet up and watch a 'Superhero' or 'Sporting' film.

Next, design a poster advertising your film as if it is soon to be released in the cinema. Think carefully about the features of your poster - what will it need? 

Here are some examples:-

After sitting down watching a movie, it's time for some exercise. This will keep you busy (and help your parents at the same time )

17.06.2020

Bore da dosbarth 9.

It's important to look after ourselves as much as it is to look after others. There are many ways in which we can look after ourselves - exercise, spend time with friends and family, do the things that make us happy (shopping makes me happy, it usually cheers me up if I'm feeling a bit down) and eat healthily. 

Today we are going to look at 'Healthy Eating'. It is recommended that we eat a healthy balanced diet and making the correct food choice will help us do that. Below is a Healthy Eating guide, it's shows us the different food groups and the types of foods that belong in each group. Click on the pictures to have a closer look at each group of food. 

As you can see the food groups are different sizes. The size of each group determines how much you should eat within it. The fruit and veg group is the biggest so you can choose more items from that group than say the dairy group which is a lot smaller. e.g you could choose 5 items from the fruit and veg and 1 item from the dairy group).

Task 1

Design a healthy daily menu using the food groups the help you. You will need to think of a healthy, balanced breakfast, lunch and dinner - don't forget to include drinks with your meals. 

(You can either draw or write down your choices).

Task 2

I mentioned above the different ways in which we can look after ourselves, one of them was to spend time doing the things that make us happy.

Your task is to draw a poster outlining all of the things that make you happy. 

e.g going for a walk, going shopping, playing with friends, watching a funny film, eating your favourite food, singing, dancing etc

I would love to see these posters and menus once they are finished, so remember to take a photo and upload them to twitter @bryncethincl9 or google classroom. 

Have a great day

This week we are having a wellbeing week and concentrating on looking after ourselves. During a time like this, it is very important that we look after our bodies, physically and mentally. Thinking positively about ourselves during difficult times helps us to keep going. 

Task 1

As we know, the situation we are currently in isn't going to last forever, things aren't as we want them to be right now, but eventually they will get better. Whilst we are waiting for that time, why not make a "Things to look forward to jar". I'm sure there are many things that you would like to do once this situation improves, write them down on a piece of paper, cut them out and fold them up and place them inside a nicely decorated jar.

Good Morning Dosbarth 9. Hope you are all well.

Are you brains working this morning? Let's see with these maths puzzles

Family Fun.

What's the object?

This is a simple game which requires good describing skills.

One at a time, choose a card/word then try to describe what is on the card, but you are not allowed to use the words which are written on the card.

For example, person A has given a card with a picture of a pig and the words 'pig', 'farm', 'oink' and 'snout', person A has to try to get the other players to say the word 'pig'. They cannot say the words on the card, so they must think of other ways of describing a pig. The player which says "pig" first gets one point.

At the end, add up the points to see who the winner is. 

If you have a printer, print out the game cards, if not, use the on the screen or copy them out on scrap paper.

Welcome back, I hope that you have all had a fun and relaxing Easter break. 

There will be lots of fun and exciting activities available for you over the next few weeks to keep your brains busy and active. 

Let's start with a little brain teaser.

Design a birthday card.

Many of you may be aware of an old Gentleman called Captain Tom Moore who will soon be turning 100 years old. Last week he did an amazing act of kindness for the NHS and raised £26million by walking 100 laps around his garden. 

I thought it would be nice if you could all partake in your own act of kindness and make Captain Tom Moore a birthday card to celebrate his 100th birthday.  Once you have made your card you can send it to him by using the following address:

Captain Tom Moore

C/O Marston Post Office

67 Bedford Road

Marston Mortaine

Bedford

MK43 0LA

Also take a photograph of your cards and tweet them on our class twitter page.
