Wednesday
English
Well done for writing out your sentences yesterday. I really enjoyed reading your writing - using time adverbials really makes your writing flow well!
Today, we're going to put everything together and write the story out again in neat. I would like you to focus on presentation this time, using your finest handwriting. I would also like you to be the teacher and try to find places in your writing were you could add a little more detail by adding more or better adjectives. This should not be rushed; really take your time to make your writing as good as it can be. Good luck!
Maths

Watch this video to help you think about suiltability of materials for their purposes.
Activity One:
Today we are testing materies to see if and how they can be manipluated and changed. Get as many materials as you can together in your house and see if they can be squashed, twisted, bent, and stretched. Here is the worksheet.
Activity Two:
Today we are going to do a science investigation and find out which material makes the best table. Can you make a prediction first before your experiment and write a conclusion after you have your results? Use this sheet to help you and follow the procedure outlined to make sure it is a fair test. Hint: If none of your materials are holding across the gap, use tape! Have fun and remember to send us lots of lovely pictures of your home investigations!
Activity Three:
Today we are thinking about suitability of materials and the different purposes materials can be used for. You will choose which material you would use to make the objects and why. See this sheet for a list of objects. You may choose your own objects too. You may want to use your author journals to write your sentences up neatly.
