Reading comprehension:<\/strong> There are many points to discuss from this clip. Discuss with someone at home or write down where do you think the boys from? Why does he have to fish? Why does he keep looking back to the village? What do you think the boy felt when the fox stole the fish? How did he feel when he was taken to the ocean? What do you think the moral of the story is? Challenge: where you have placed the event on the emotions graph, can you justify why with giving evidence. (For example, When the boy was chasing the fox, I believe he was angry because there was fast pacing music, also his face was cross and worried as the fox stole the villager’s dinner) Writing activity:<\/strong> Challenge: How many of these skills can you use during your descriptive writing? Spelling:<\/strong> Maths: Money <\/strong> Maths recipe: Andrew was given \u00a312 to spend in a shop. Once he had bough what he needed, he had \u00a33 change.

\nUsing descriptive language to set the scene.
\nWe would like you to focus on using descriptive language to capture the readers interest and imagination. Looking at the different images, choose your favourite and then write a short setting description describing what you can see in the picture. Use your senses to bring the image to life. Imagine you were there, what could you see, smell touch, taste and hear?

\nLight races sound.
\nMiss Jackson-Nash claimed that \u201cYou hear sounds as soon as they are made\u201d but Miss Honeywell claims \u201cyou can see light before you hear sound\u201d. Who is correct?
\nTry this science experiment and record your findings. Then with what you have found can you write a conclusion explaining your observation.
\nYou will need
\n\u2022\tlarge outside place
\n\u2022\tballoon
\n\u2022\tflour
\n\u2022\tfunnel
\n\u2022\tteaspoon
\n\u2022\tpin
\n\u2022\thelper
\nFill the balloon with flower using the funnel. Add a few spoonsful of flour into the funnel and shake it down the balloon. Remove the funnel, inflate the balloon and tie the neck to stop the air and flour from escaping. Don\u2019t inhale when blowing up the balloon otherwise you\u2019ll get a mouthful of flour! Go outside to your large open space. Ask your helper to hold the balloon and a pin. You need to walk 100paces away from them. With the pin, your helper needs to pop the balloon. Watch and listen very carefully \u2013 you will hear the balloon pop and see the flour escape. But which one happens first? <\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
\nFor this week\u2019s Art Challenge I would like you produce some art that is linked to a famous landmark. Your landmark can be natural or man-made. It can be a drawing, a sculpture made from recycled materials, a collage, something made out of pebbles and twigs , it could be drawn on a tablet or made out of Lego, or indeed else that you can think of. I have even seen Big Ben made out of socks! Let you imaginations run wild!
\nHere are a few ideas:
