Topic – Parts of a plant part 3
In the Oak academy lesson last week, you looked at parts of a plant. Watch this YouTube video of a flower being taken apart to show all the different parts.
You could have a go at taking apart a lily to see all the different parts of it. However, please be aware that lily pollen is very poisonous to cats. If you have a cat, I would not recommend buying lilies. It is not toxic to humans. Also, the pollen can stain so take care not to get it on your clothes or other materials like curtains, sofas or table cloths.
Task: Have a go at making a flower, labelling its parts. Here are some examples.
You could have a go at making it out of household objects. Here’s one I made. You could test an adult afterwards to see if they can correctly label all the parts!
Or if you have some paper and craft materials handy, you could make it like this:
If you’d like some more practice, or would like to do a different activity, there is a worksheet with the parts to label , and/or a mix and match game you could play.
For the mix and match game, print out the sheets, cut them out then mix them up. Challenge yourself or someone else to match them all up correctly.

Hi everyone
We hope you’re all happy, healthy and staying safe. We hope you’re all enjoying your home learning, too. The weather is going to be great today so why not get your home learning done nice and early and then try to enjoy the sunshine – if you can do safely (and whilst still observing social distancing).
Recently, someone in my class emailed me to say that they’ve really been enjoying reading. They had the idea that we could ask people for their book recommendations. I think this is a super idea. Send in your recommendations and we’ll post them on the class news section – I’ve heard several people talk about ‘The Boy at the Back of the Class‘ recently.
Here’s your home learning for today…
Y5 Maths
Starter
Use the Topmarks website to play ‘Hit the button.’ Put your times table knowledge to the test.
Your learning for today is about multiplying mixed numbers.
Y6 Maths
Now that you have recapped different methods for multiplication on Monday and Tuesday, it is time to do battle in Guardians: Defenders of Mathematica. Play all four levels of the Mysterious Mountains of Multiplication.
Y5,6 Reading
Today you are going to take your learning into your own hands. Choose an extract from a book, a newspaper article, or perhaps an online news report as your learning base. Once you have chosen this, read through it and create a RIC for others to answer.
If you could assemble your RIC base and questions on some form of word document or PowerPoint, that would be great. If not, that’s not a problem either! If you could email your finished tasks to your teacher, we can use them to share with each other and answer later on in the week. Good luck!

Your learning today is all about using expanded noun phrases. Click here to see the video lesson.
