Independent activities

Use the preposition bank in the resources section to write a paragraph describing your alien.  Remember to write in full sentences and use the exciting words you found yesterday in a thesaurus.

Describe its appearance, how it moves and how it speaks (or the sounds it makes).

Try to vary your openers and if you can include them, a few relative clauses would be brilliant! 😊

Feedback

Try and post the learning during the lesson if you can, so we can give feedback and support.

Remember to send a message on your portfolio if you need any help. =)

Maths

Introduction

WALT: solve arithmetic questions.

Independent activities

Today, can you please complete the arithmetic paper in the resources section.

Remember to have a go at every question, but if are really stuck - skip that question and come back to it later. Make sure you show all of your working out in the space provided.

The answers are at the back of the paper.  Once you have finished, mark your paper.  Can you see where you went wrong on any of the questions?

If you need some more support, a video will be uploaded onto Dojo to help you with some of the question types.

If you have modelling clay at home, then you can start to make your alien.  If not, see the Clay Aliens PDF in the resource section for the recipe on how to make salt dough, which you can then model into your alien.  There are other ideas on how to decorate your alien on the PDF.

Here is yesterday’s sick sentence written correctly:

Correct the following sentence.

Here are the new spellings for next week: 

field          shield         belief
