Your task this morning is to choose 5 words and put them into sentences. Then have fun practising the words using a variety of ways, like we do in the classroom, such as pyramid words, one letter/one colour and drawing the shape of the word. I've included a picture of some of the games we do to help you.

Today you are going to continue your work learning about rivers and the features of non-fiction books. Please watch lesson 4 on 'Rushing Rivers'. Watch the video carefully and pause it as Ms Johnson goes along, jotting down on paper the answers to her questions. I would like you to then complete the task set (just after 13 minutes) to write a paragraph summarising what you have learnt in that lesson about damns. She does give you a little help.
After that I would like you to watch lesson 5. Again, watch the video carefully and pause it as Ms Johnson goes along, jotting down on paper the answers to her questions. The final task (just after 8 minutes) to create a poster to encourage people to look after rivers.

► GRAMMAR
► SCIENCE
Please watch the video. During the first 10 minutes the teacher tests whether a verity of objects will float or sink. Pause the video as it goes and make predictions of what you think will happen.
At 10 minutes, please listen carefully as she explains some common misconceptions/misunderstandings as to why objects float or sink.
After 15 1/2 minutes she goes onto explain the science behind WHY objects float or sink. This is the key learning for this afternoon.
