Hi All,
Remember to do your revision homework tonight.
Maths- check over the test we sat today.
Comprehension- check your answers with someone at home. Sentences not necessary unless asked for in Qu.
Writing- read over 'cleaning' piece of writing. Consider what we spoke about this morning. Add a note/something important to remember, at the bottom- DON'T make it a step!! Use brackets for more information. Have you got any WOW words in to impress us?? Use connectives to tell us more about a step. E.g. After that, carefully place goggles over the unicorn's eyes so that soap won't irritate them. (Get a friend to help if this is difficult)
CONNECTIVE- so
OPENER + time connective- After that
WOW word- irritate
description/adverb- carefully
PUNCTUATION- comma, apostrophe and brackets

Keep trying to do your best!!
Happy birthday to Bader and Dalal!!

A couple of pics from our last trip.The battery my camera died early on so I've only got a few others. Will see if they are worth posting too.
Tonights homework- check test 9 for maths and write your instructions for how to clean a unicorn. Remember to use your mind map!!
Goodluck

I hope your first night of revision is going well. I have just added 3 links in the literacy section to give you some ideas for your writing. Have a read and see if it can help at all.

More and more comments have been added and it's been great to receive some from a few parents too! I'm glad everyone is enjoying a little bit more of a connection with school. I promise to try and write answers for all of the questions that have been asked...stay tuned.
I've been doing some reading this weekend and found out a few facts about the human brain along with some comparisons with other creatures. I'll probably share some thoughts from this over the next few weeks.

Did you know that the human brain has around one million million brain cells. Look at the number in digits: 1 000 000 000 000. WOW, that's a big number!! Don't worry this wont be in the exams!
In comparison a bee has less than 1 million. Bees can: fly, protect, fight, see, hear, smell, taste, touch, build, control temperature, count, navigate, walk, run, remember, play, nurture, reproduce and work constructively and co-operatively in a community.

That's pretty amazing that they can do all those things with less than a million brain cells. IMAGINE what we could do if we trained our brains well!!!!

Talking homework- Discuss newspaper reports on pages 16+17 Literacy World. Read them again if you want to. Talk about report you are going to write tomorrow about the Toll's lawnmower being stolen.

Think about facts you could write and maybe quote someone. What WOW words could you use?
