Maths
Today you'll be thinking about how to estimate answers when you are adding or subtracting. You'll have to use your rounding skills for this one!
First click this link and watch the video that is called Estimate Answers. Then find your worksheet here.
English
We know many of you really enjoyed reading Frogspell this term!
We want you to write a book review of Frogspell today.
A book review gives some information about the book but it also gives your opinion on the book. It also sometimes tells the person reading your review what type of person would enjoy reading Frogspell.
Here is an example of a book review you might choose to copy.
When you have done that, we want you to write all about your favourite book:
1. What is your favourite book?
2. Why is this book your favourite? What do you like about it?
3. Who is your favourite character?
4. What is your favourite part in the book?
5. Who would you recommend this book to? (Is it good for children your age? Boys or girls or both? Maybe someone younger or older than you.)
When we come back to school on November 3rd, we would love to stick some of your book reviews up in our book corners in class!
Black History Week
Today, we would like you to choose your own famous black person to research.
This isn't history but it's celebrating famous black people today in Britain!
It could be footballer Marcus Rashford, or ex President Barack Obama. It might be rapper and Britain's Got Talent judge Alesha Dixon or long distance runner Mo Farah.
Here's a bitesize link if you're feeling stuck for ideas.
For your chosen person, make a factfile like this one about them.

Historian
This week is Black History Week and today we were supposed to be going for a Mural Hunt, looking at the Seven Saints of St.Pauls. We will hopefully go on this trip when everyone is back at school and healthy!
Instead, today research one of the Seven Saints of St. Paul’s who is called Roy Hackett.
Find out:
- What country did he come from and when?
- What were his main achievements in Bristol?
- What interests you about him?
- Is he still alive today?
Challenge : Can you create your own picture of him? You could do it simply by drawing or sketching, or you could get more creative and use things you have around the house such as cutting and sticking newspapers or magazine to get the different colours.
