I have been absolutely blown away by the enthusiasm and the quality of work from the children this week. When I set the geography task to plan a holiday to a coastal resort, I did not realise how absorbed the children would be. Thank you for being so enthusiastic children and as a family.

Did you manage to guess the right fruit? Can you guess tomorrow’s fruit????
Some people might not have been able to get on the internet yesterday - don’t panic, we totally understand. Those children working in school couldn’t get on either. Please don’t worry but please make sure that you do yesterday’s work (Maths and English) before you do today’s work - otherwise some of it won’t make any sense!!! Don’t worry if you don’t get through it all by Friday!
Reading
How are you getting on with your reading? Have you managed to quiz? Are you near to your target yet?
30 minutes of lovely reading each day is sooooooo relaxing. I’ve really enjoyed having time to get lost in a good book. My favourite place is relaxing on my bed. Where’s yours? Maybe you could send us a photo.
Maths
Here are the answers to yesterday’s maths.
Please go on Sumdog where you will find a times table challenge for you to complete.
English
Can you remember where we left off yesterday? Take a moment to think what happened. Think about the characters and how they were feeling yesterday.
Now read Chapter 4
Task 1 Have you answered any of your earlier questions? What are you thinking now? Do you have any new questions? Write your new questions in your book. (Remember punctuation and joined handwriting please)
Task 2 What do you think Jack's Mum said to the boys when she saw them? What did the boys say to Jack’s Mum?
Write a short conversation of what they might have said.
Remember to include " " and to say who said it. Use words instead of said. (eg called, whispered, hollered, cried, sobbed, muttered.) Think carefully about the “said words” that you chose because it helps to create the picture of what is happening.
Can you add any other detail in your conversation to create an even better picture of what is happening? Try to show and action or how they are feeling.
eg. “Yes, we’re here!” Jack hollered at the top of his voice, standing up and stumbling towards the door.
Art
Yes, it’s Thursday again and time for Art. Have a look at the exciting lesson that Mrs Curtis has posted for you today. Don’t forget to send us your photos.
