This week you will be focusing on the non-fiction genre, non-chronological report. Do you remember writing a non-chronological report about Northampton, New York and a place of your choosing? It would be great if you could use all your knowledge for your writing this week. This non-chronological report is about a mythical creature, a griffin, we can’t wait to see what you write about. We would love to see a photograph of your writing!

Reading
Have you signed up for the summer reading challenge?
https://summerreadingchallenge.org.uk/
All of Kensuke’s Kingdom by Michael Morpurgo is available to listen to and new chapters will be added of The Skylarks’ War by Hilary McKay on https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChGz5BQnDPqxwfNpdSWIf6A
Task 1 – Science
https://classroom.thenational.academy/lessons/how-do-the-rocks-on-our-earths-surface-change/
In this lesson, you will learn how rocks change. Looking at rocks as big as mountains and as small as a grain of sand and learn the processes that form each. Learning about erosion, weathering and the movements of tectonic plates.
Task 2 – History
https://classroom.thenational.academy/lessons/who-was-the-worse-king-richard-i-or-john/
In this lesson, you will be learning about King John and King Richard I. You will be learning about the House of Anjou and the rivalries that developed between Henry II’s sons, who all wanted to be king. Also about about the successes and failures of both Richard I and his younger brother John. Who do you think the worse king was?
Task 3 – PSHE
https://classroom.thenational.academy/lessons/prime-ministers-questions-63d92c
In today’s lesson, you continue to lead the country as the Deputy Prime Minister since the Prime Minister has contracted COVID-19 and is unavailable to carry out his duties for 7 weeks. The lesson challenges pupil leaders to be able to respond to tough questions from the media as part of Prime Minister’s Questions around the impact of COVID-19. Dr Ted is allowing the Prime Minister to guide you but he is not allowed to face the media himself. Do not worry, the Prime Minister has been told what sorts of questions will be asked. For example, Lilley Lionheart, from Safari National News, is keen to understand how children can stay active during lockdown. Are you ready to do him and the government proud?
Task 4 – Spanish
https://classroom.thenational.academy/lessons/how-to-say-the-date-in-spanish-96b550/
Learn to say the date in Spanish – you can also re-watch the previous lessons to practise what you have learnt. Or continue using the duolingo app or website. How many streaks are you on now?

For English the word of the day is majestic it means showing impressive beauty or scale.
I have learnt that a non-chronological report, is facts about some thing fiction or nonfiction such as
a griffin and an eagle.
What a great word Jaydnn. My garden currently looks majestic in the lovely sun!
Yes a non-chronological report is an information text about something, giving you lots of information on that particular topic! What do you think you’ll write about at the end of the week?

That’s great Drake – well done! It sounds like you have been very busy. Enjoy the rest of your afternoon.
Miss Lowe 🙂
For English , the word of the day is futuristic the synonyms , innovative modern advance and i have learnt that in non chronological you need to be descriptive.
For math, the video help me a lot and it made rounding very clear
Well done Jaydnn. I agree in non-chronological reports you need to describe enough so it is clear what you are talking about but not too much so it becomes like a story!
I’m pleased the video helped you for maths – rounding can be quite tricky!
Have a good day!
Miss Lowe 🙂

Miss Lowe, I have finished my work ?.
Fantastic Sulaiman – how did you find it today? What did you enjoy the most?
Miss Lowe 🙂
Today i have been reminded about how useful the inverse is in math.
The inverse helps by doing the apposite. For example 50+50=100 100-50=50
Exactly Jaydnn – I think the inverse is so important and it is such a useful skill to have. So when you have a tricky problem and you’re not sure if you’ve got the answer right, you can use the inverse to check! Well done.
Miss Lowe 🙂
Hi, 1 Maths per day.

Rhys

Hi
I have done all my work on the blog and and few extras too.
Drake
Hi everyone,
I completed this work on Friday 26th. Was fun seeing some classmates this week in our TEAMS call with Ms Taylor.
Maths:
Finished all the worksheets – it was nice to have proper spaces on the sheets to put workings out on.
English:
Had fun with this week’s lessons. I wasn’t sure what it was leading to at the beginning of the week – but really enjoyed making up my own mythical creature and jotting down notes about its personality and habits and all that. Made me want to draw it out and then write a story about it!
History
I got bored and didn’t want to finish this one. I’m not finding the kings very interesting at the moment.
PSHE
I didn’t think I would enjoy this – but actually mom says my answers were pretty good and I did well on the quiz. So maybe not so bad.
Science:
The teacher Ms Simkins does these little experiments – I enjoy those kinds lessons.
Spanish
REALLLYYYY loving these lessons. I practice on my mom and dad and I’m teaching them how to say hello and start a chat using Spanish!
PE:
I haven’t really been doing PE, I miss netball and hotshots. But I go for long walks with my mom, dad and doggie to the park and around the neighbourhood. This week though – mom and I tried the Harry Potter Cosmic Kids Yoga YouTube video and, actually it wasn’t bad. Enjoyed it!

When I’m not doing school work, I have lots of crafty things to make things and paint, draw and read.
Hi Madison. How are you? Sounds like you have been really busy. Thank you for all your detailed feedback. Remember, if you haven’t already, you can email some of you work to Miss Taylor, as she’d love to see what you’ve been up to. How is the Spanish teaching going? I’m very impressed! Mrs Bacon 🙂
