This week for English we would like you to look at The King of The Fishes by Jo Pearce. It is a new resource we have looked at which builds up to a structured piece of writing and we have broken the activities down by day. The talk for writing approach is how we structure our lessons in school. As usual feedback is always useful.

Monday

We would like you to look at and complete the activities from the beginning of the pack up to the bottom of page 10 looking at reading the story and understanding vocabulary.

Tuesday

Re read the story and then complete the spelling and grammar activities from page 11 up to the bottom of page 13

Wednesday

Complete the activities from page 14 up to the bottom of page 19, planning and beginning to write the first section of your own story.

Thursday 

Complete the second and third sections of your story using the guidance from page 20 up to where it says ‘fifth section’ on page 21.

Friday

Complete the fifth and final sections of your story using the guidance from pages 21 and 22.

If you would like to create your own mini book on paper there are instructions at the end of the pack for you to follow to do this.

This is a word document of the instructions above for you to print out if you want to do this:

This week we are looking at Shadows. Click on the link below to watch the videos from Espresso about ‘shadows’ and ‘opaque, translucent and transparent.’ Once you have watched the videos, you can have a go at carrying out the experiment. Remember to write about the experiment and draw some diagrams of what you did.

As an extra activity, you could use your knowledge from your experiment to create a shadow puppet show.

We are continuing to look at Coastal Regions for our Topic work. I would like you to think about and discuss the names of as many coastal tourist destinations as you can both in the UK and around the world.

Can you find twenty of the major coastal tourist destinations in the UK and around the world and add them to the maps I have attached below for you. You can use the internet to help you find them on your maps and you may like to do some extra reading about the destinations and choose one to create a poster about.

Again this is an extra activity like the Art if you would like to have a go at it. The activity is looking at how to say different types of weather in French. Here is a link to a video on Espresso looking at different types of weather:

There is also a useful powerpoint from Twinkl you could have a look at:

You could also have a go at creating your own poster in French about different types of weather if you would like to.

I am uploading this as an extra activity for you to have a go at if you would like to. It is looking at making your own animated flip book. I have attached a BBC Bitesize video for you to watch before you have a go at creating your books.
