You will be using your learning from the past two week about learning to tell the time to solve rea- soning questions and problem solve. If you are unsure try to go back to week 12 and 13 as a reminder of the different ways to tell time. You will see some clues on this page! Remember: Time

Mariam and Mohammed know how many seconds are in a minute. They work together to calculate the number of seconds for each of these world records. Remember there are 60 seconds in every minute! How many seconds did it take to complete these events? Can you work these out?

Activity:1 Athletics Athletics Swimming 800m (men) Example: Answer: 1 minute, 40.91 seconds 800m (men) 200m medley (women) 1 minute, 40.91 seconds 100.91 seconds 1500m 2 minutes, 6.2 seconds (women) 1500m (women) 3 minutes, 4 x 100m medley relay (men) 3 minutes, 50.07 seconds 50.07 3 minutes, 27.28 seconds

Wheelchair 5000m (men) Lets work it out together! 9 minutes, 49.17 seconds 1 minute is equal to 60 seconds Wheelchair 1500m (women) 3 minutes, 13.27 seconds 60 seconds plus 40.91 seconds equals 100.91 QFL: What units are best used to measure different time? When measuring time we need to think about the appropriate units we use to measure time. Time can be measured in centuries, decades, years, months, weeks, days, hours, minutes and seconds. For example if I was in a 100 metre race it that lasts perhaps a few minutes I would probably use a minute timer (Stop watch) to calculate how long it took. This is so I know my speed to the sec- ond. It would also be difficult to calculate my speed using hours or just minutes as my measurement would not be accurate. For example: It takes John 2 hours and 35 minutes to cut a tree down. What unit of time should I use? Hours and minutes (Answer: Here he should use hours and minutes) Or If it took me 75 seconds to slip on my shoes. What form of measurement should I use? Minutes and seconds. (Answer: Minutes and seconds as the seconds are over 60 seconds so you have reached a minute. We can work this out buy subtracting 60 from 75. 60 seconds is one minute the remaining is 15 seconds. This gives us 1 minute and 15 seconds.) Now you have a go! Remember: Year(52 Weeks), Weeks(7Days) Days(24 hours), Hours (60 Minutes) and Minutes(60 Seconds) Learn: QFL: What units are best used to measure different time?

QFL: What are time zones? As it is night in some parts of the world while it is day in other parts, different places in the world have different times. This is why the world is divided into 24 different time zones. ... Most smaller countries keep to the same time zone even if part of them falls outside a meridian line.

Weather is a specific event like a rain or hot day that happens over a few hours, days or weeks.

Climate Zones: There are lots of ways that scientists use to describe different types of climate around the world. One way is to divide up

Equator climates into five types: tropical, dry, mild, cold, and polar.

The countries highlighted in blue have wet and dry climate. That means it is mostly raining or sunny.

Brazil Equator

What do you notice about the countries in blue and the equator line?

Tropical Wet/Dry climate is found in countries near the equator, usually on the outer edges of Tropical Wet climate areas. The largest areas of Tropical Wet/Dry are found in Africa, Brazil, and India.

I wonder why? What is a tropical climate? A tropical climate is also known as ‘equatorial’, because places found on or close to the Equator are typically tropical: they’re warm and wet.

This climate zone experiences high temperatures all year round and lots and lots of rain. In fact, in some places with a tropical climate, you can set your watch by the daily rain- storm, it’s so regular! But, though it’s warm here, the cloudy skies also mean that the tropics don’t experience the highest temperatures worldwide. The hot- test places in the world are found in the arid zone, the deserts. Qfl: What do these words mean? Oh dear, the words and the meaning of the word has become jumbled up! See if you can match the word to the correct meaning. Hint: Look back to page 24 if you want a reminder of the words!

RE Qfl: Why is the Torah special in Judaism?

All religions have a holy book. The Torah is the holy book in Judaism. It is written on a scroll. Large versions are kept in the Jewish place of worship, the Synagogue. If you have the internet access you can watch it below or use the information provided to find out more. https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/class-clips-video/religious-studies-ks2-the-torah/zhs2t39

What is the Torah? Why is it special in Judaism? Ask an adult at home what your holy book is and compare it with the Torah. Remember similarities and differences. Try to link to RRSA and our values. Books are important in our daily lives, which hopefully you have been reading during lockdown. Why not tell us about a special book you have been reading?
