Literacy Numeracy Health & WellbeingMonday News: Write a few sentences

about your weekend and your plans for this week.

Reading: Choose a book to read this week (remember the world book day link on class blog).

Design a new front cover for the book you have chosen and if it’s a book you haven’t read before, write a prediction of what you think will happen and why you think that.

Sumdog – I have set a new challenge on Sumdog for today. It starts at 11am and you will have until 3.15pm to complete it. This week’s challenge focusses on time.

There was great activity on sumdog last week which is fantastic, let’s keep the excellent work going.

We find ourselves in a unique position with schools being closed. It is a very strange, confusing and for some worrying time. To help us understand how we feel lets write it down. I want you to write a letter to your future self. It can be you in Primary 7 or even older if you wish. Explain in the letter how you feel at the moment with everything going on. It helps to get our worries out our heads and written down. Just a few sentences explaining this situation to your future self. You can also ask your future self a few questions in the letter that they will have to answer once it is opened. These can be any questions you want. Once you have written the letter, seal it away, keep it in a safe place and when the time comes, your future self can open the letter, read it and answer your questions. Start the letter Dear future self and finish by signing your name and current age. Happy writing :D

Thursday Writing - Setting description. Choose one of the following options:

1) Draw your character from last weeks home, label all the nouns and write a setting description.

2) Look at the Enchanted forest picture below, label all the nouns and write a setting description.

Remember a setting description is rich with ambitious words describing everything you see (nouns). This helps the reader visualise a picture in their head. So the more descriptive, the more beautiful the picture in the readers head. Think about ‘ly’
