COLDEAN PRIMARY SCHOOL

Year 5 Wk7

YOU COULD BECOME A WORLD RECORD HOLDER! GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS have created a new World Record called - "The Highest Score achieved on ‘Times Tables Rock Stars' in ONE minute!"

To make an Official Attempt, players need to record a video of themselves achieving their highest score in the Studio* and send the video to support@mathscircle.com by 23:59 UK time on 4th June 2020. 

The highest scores seen over the years have been 150+ in a single Studio game so we know the standard for this global title will be high. 

(*Studio games go up 12×12 and include corresponding division facts.)

Login to Purple Mash and check out your 2Dos. Today’s is called, “Favourite Song”.

I would like you first to put on your favourite song. Then dance to it or enjoy it as you usually do.

Next, I would like you to listen to it again and answer the questions that the ‘Think about’ sections asks.

Fill in the sheet and tell me all about your favourite song. I look forward to hearing about them. If you click on the audio instructions for the task you can hear one of my favourite songs and my reason for liking it.

Extension: If you want you can try making a version of your song here, or one like it.

Think about the tempo is it the same speed as the song you like?

When you come to save it, see if you can add the link to the 2do document then I will be able to hear it, or you can email to the school office FAO Mr Hornby.

Have fun!
