Monday

Morning everyone!

English

Complete your SPaG as usual. Rather than just doing 'Look, cover, write, check' with your spellings, why not try a few word pyramids or 'drawing' the word like we do at school.

Reading comprehension: David Attenborough

This week's theme is all based around Science and who better to study than Sir David Attenborough. Many of you know a lot about his life and work already from your own research. Open the text and question document and have a go. Remember: use evidence/quotes from the text to support your answers and you don't have to print out the document - just write your answers down on paper.

The mark scheme is available afterwards to see if your answers hit the marks.

Short written task:

I'm setting this as a very open-ended written task so you can have some fun deciding what to write. You should write in 1st person as the turtle. It could be in the style of a diary entry in past tense, or it could be written in present tense like the events are happening right now. Funny or serious, it's up to you! I look forward seeing what you come up with.

Maths

This week, we will be studying capacity and start to look at volume. Today is all about converting between litres and millilitres.
