These could be:

Task / challenge: to face a creature / escape from a situation

A problem to solve

Think back to all the myths you have read over the past two weeks, use these as inspiration to help you think of different quests your hero / heroine could go and exciting challenges and problems they could face.

Complete the table below with your ideas.

Maths

There are no longer any White Rose teaching videos and worksheets which follow how our curriculum in school would. Therefore, everything you need for each lesson will be on a PowerPoint (attached below). Each lesson (Monday, Wednesday) will include:

• Introduction/teaching slide(s) 
• Independent task
• Support task
• Problem solving and reasoning task
• Home Learning Challenge

You will still be set Mathletics on Tuesday and Thursday. 

Optional activities

Art - Last week you might have started to create your own Ancient Greek pot using your design from Week 3. Continue with your pot by adding some colour and paint to it. Send in a picture of the end result, we would love to see it. 

 

If you haven't started your pot yet, you can make a start this week. This pot should represent YOU. To make the pots, you can either use clay (if you have it at home), paper mache or salt dough. Think about what shape you want your pot to be. The instructions for all methods are on the PowerPoint below.
