After the Christmas holiday, our history topic will be Ancient Greece. Over the holiday, research an aspect of either modern-day Greece or Ancient Greece and create a project to share your learning in class.

These are some ideas to choose from:

The location and geographical features of Greece, such as its capital city and culture.

Famous buildings and monuments in Greece.

Discoveries made by the Ancient Greeks.

Ancient Greek Gods and Goddesses.

Ancient Greek myths and legends.

Ancient Greek soldiers.

These are just some ideas - you may have your own!

You can choose how you wish to present your project. Some ideas are creating a Powerpoint or a Word document, designing a poster or building a model – the choice is yours!

In our maths lessons this week, we have been finding percentages of amounts.

Our homework focuses on finding 50%, 25% and 10%.

Find 50% - divide by 2 (half)

Find 25% - divide by 2 and then divide by 2 again (half it and half it again) or divide by 4

Find 10% - use moving digits to move each digit one place to the right (which may mean the answer is a decimal).

Try the Extra Challenge by completing the table at the bottom of the worksheet.

In our maths lessons this week, we have continued to practise finding percentages.

Here are reminders of the methods that we have used:

Find 50% - divide by 2 (half)

Find 25% - divide by 2 and then divide by 2 again (half it and half it again) or divide by 4

Find 75% - add together 50% and 25% or subtract 25%

Find 10% - use moving digits to move each digit one place to the right (which may mean the answer is a decimal).

Find multiples of 10% - find 10% then multiply by how many tens are needed, e.g. 40% = 10% x 4

Find 5% - find 10% and half it.

Find 1% - use moving digits to move each digit two places to the right (the answer might be a decimal).

If you would like an Extra Challenge or further practise complete the questions on the sheet below.
