To be able to draw basic shapes on a grid.
Let's explore.
Let's learn.
Activity Time
Fact or Opinion?
What is the difference between a fact and an opinion?
Facts can be proven to be true or actually have happened. They can be backed up by numbers, data (information) or statistics (like percentages).
Opinions are based on a person’s idea, belief or attitude.
Let's take a look at some together:
Mrs Davison is the Headteacher.
Stoneyholme is the best school.
Vegetables are good for you.
Dinosaurs are amazing!!
Now it's your turn to decide if something is fact or opinion.
Decide which of the following statements are facts and which are opinions.
1. Pandas are cuter than meerkats.
2. The Houses of Parliament are in London.
3. Apples grow on trees.
4. My cat is the best cat in the world!
5. Ice cream is horrible.
6. Water will become ice if the temperature is cold enough.
If you read the sentence and think that someone might not agree with it then it’s an opinion. Facts are always right.
Write an opinion (quote) about our bird sanctuary.
AMAZING NEW BIRD SANCTUARY – I COULDN'T BELIEVE YOUR EYES!
Best day ever! Exploring exciting trails, secret nests, and the most fun playground EVER!
I could not believe my eyes when I walked into the new bird sanctuary – it was the most AMAZING place I have ever seen!
There were so many different birds! I saw bright pink flamingos standing tall, cheeky parrots squawking loudly, and tiny blue birds zooming past like flashes of lightning!
This wasn’t just a fun trip… it was the BEST DAY EVER! You have to go and see it for yourself!
Can you explain why we need universal symbols?
Let's watch the video below to understand how to use a map.
Today, we are going to use symbols instead of pictures.
The Ordinance Survey creates detailed maps of areas across the UK. If they had to label everything on those maps, they would be very confusing and difficult to read, so they use symbols instead.
Let’s take a look at a map of a small village.
These are some of the commonly used symbols on Ordinance Survey maps.
Today we are going to draw a map of your route to school using the symbols above.
If you can’t find one you need on the picture above, you can make up your own.
To help the person reading the map, we need to use a LEGEND or Key at the bottom of our map to explain what the symbols mean.
