Next week we will be writing letters, so your task is to find out 5 pieces of information about Downing Street to include in your letter. You do not need to write the letter but just find 5 pieces of information. The more interesting, the better! Please write these on paper so you can bring them into school - if you need some paper ask me!
This week we have been learning to write letters. We have also listened to some of Michael Rosen's poetry in which he gets into trouble for eating all the chocolate cake or breaking his watch. You can watch this video here to help you. Your task is to combine both of these things...
Have you ever held a grudge against the brush that pulled your hair or the vacuum that sucked up your shoelaces? How did you feel when a pen leaked ink on your favourite shirt or the toaster burned yet another bagel?
Watch the video and think about a time when an object caused you a bit of distress, and write a letter to this object to express your disappointment.
For example:
Dear Pen, I am so disappointed with you. Today was school photograph day. I spent all morning fixing my hair and ironing my clothes. I scrubbed my face hard and even cleaned under my nails. So, can you imagine my shock when I queued up to have my photograph taken and looked down at my shirt pocket? There it was. A big black smudge of ink in the middle of my shirt. How could you do this to me? You knew I needed to look my best! Now you've ruined the photograph that is going to sit on my mum's mantelpiece forever! My family and friends will be laughing at me for the rest of my life. I hope you're happy with yourself. Yours sincerely, Tom
A few children are not completing their Mathletics tasks at home. It is really important we do this so that we practise the skills we have learnt during the week.
If you would like to have a go on Scratch at home you can use the following link. The website version is very similar to the one we use at school but there are some differences. However, the more practice you can get at using this and understanding the blocks, scripts and pages, the better!
Over the last few weeks we have been learning about Ancient Egypt. I would like you to think about all the different things you have learnt and tell me your favourite thing about Ancient Egypt and why you found it so interesting.
Here are some pictures to inspire you:
This is our example:
My favourite thing about Ancient Egypt is mummification. I think it's really interesting that they believed so strongly in an afterlife that they put so much preparation into mummifying and burying their dead. Did you know that they placed lots of treasures into the tombs of their dead pharaohs so that they would have all their worldly possessions in the afterlife? These are just some of the amazing things that Howard Carter and his team of Egyptologists found inside Tutankhamun's tomb.
