With all of this lovely sunshine that we have been having recently the daisies are beginning to grow in the gardens. What else can you see growing? Listen carefully and what can you hear? I’ve got lots of lovely birds singing in my garden and of course I can hear my hens clucking. They just love the sunshine! Think about all of these beauties of nature as you are in the garden this week. You will need it for science on Thursday.
Keep reading.
Have you taken a quiz yet? Make sure that you are trying hard to get those 100% scores.
Maybe have a look at some of the insect books on the free ebooks and take a quiz on those.( Again it will help you in science later in the week).
Maths
Keep doing the challenges on Sumdog. How are you doing? Had any burgers lately?
Roll a dice twice and make a 2 digit number. Write it down. Roll just one dice again and either add it to the first number or subtract it. Make sure that you line up the columns carefully. Check whether you have to exchange and make sure that you do this carefully. (Make sure that you take the bottom number from the top number when subtracting - BE CAREFUL!)

This week we will be building up to writing a non chronological report so we need to practise skills that will help us with this, today we will be learning to write a summary .
This is my example summary about Italy, this is what yours needs to look like. I used the Italy fact file below to gather my information (click on the button to access it and see what I read).
Title of the text - Italy
My summary is - Italy is a mainly Christian country in Europe, the capital is Rome. The weather is varied from part to part, with the coastal regions being warmer than the higher parts where it can be cold, wet and snowy in the winter months. The 60 million people population use the Euro and mainly speak Italian.

Can you read the story of The Cure of the Centurion?
A centurion was an important Roman soldier. He was the commander in charge of a hundred soldiers in the Roman Army that controlled Palestine at that time. It is possible that most centurions would not have liked the Jews, but this centurion was different…

Have a look at these Mass responses. Which ones have you heard before? Which ones do you know?
