Good morning! We hope that you are ready for today’s Learning from Home challenges. Have you spotted this week’s picture theme? We hope that you are staying healthy and remembering to eat your fruit. Which fruit do you think we will pick tomorrow????
Reading
Remember to do lots of reading (about 30 minutes each day) and quizzing on Accelerated Reader. How are you getting on with your quizzes? Are you nearly at your target? Please let us know when you have reached them and we can celebrate. (Some people are getting really close - so Keeeeep Reeeeading). Well done to Isabella for getting to 100% of her target! There are a couple of others really close to the magic 100 mark as of today.
Maths
We are continuing with our work on multiplication, click the button below to have a look at today’s work. Remember you do not need to print this out, just have it open while you discuss and work it all out. Record your answers in your maths home learning book, the answers will be on tomorrow’s blog for you to see how you got on.
English
Yesterday we left the boys at the door of the house - it “swung open with hardly a squeak.” Do you think they will go in? Read chapter 2 to find out…
Task 1 Read though the chapter again and look carefully for any adverbs that the author has used. Look again and spot any powerful verbs. Look one more time and look how the author has used description to describe.
Task 2 What are you thinking now? What are you wondering about? Have you got any new questions that you would like to ask? Write your new questions? (Remember to punctuated them correctly.) Can you answer any of you questions from yesterday?
Task 3 Using adverbs (eg cautiously, excitedly, suddenly and any others that you want to add), write some exciting sentences to describe what happened in the next chapter. (You don’t have to write this chapter, unless you have been inspired to do so.) Make your sentences really exciting - grab the reader and make them want to know more!)
Geography
This week I would like you to focus on learning more about our own country. Remember on 15.4.2020 I set the task of completing the ‘My country snapshot’ about another European country? This week I would like you to find out the same things about England so that you can make comparisons between England and your chosen country.
You can use the ‘My country snapshot’ format again (just click the button below) or set it out however you want.
Once you have found out the information about England I would like you to list 3 similarities and 3 differences. Which place do you think you would prefer to live in?
