have got a spare moment and try to
answer it.

the race?
It ran out of juice!
Topic: Science Seed and Bean Study! P.5
As part of our learning about
plants and growing we have
got a seed study for you to
take part in today. Look at
the photograph of 8 different
beans and seeds and notice
everything you can about
them. Look at the size,
shape and colour. How are
they different and how are
they the same? Can you
group them in any way? Can
you predict what they will
grow into by looking at them.
Now look at the seed
packets. Can you match the
seeds to the plants? Are
there any clues? Do you
recognise any of the seeds or
beans. Maybe you have
grown some already. Maybe
you even cook with them!

Woodpecker By Ted Hughes Woodpecker is rubber-necked
But has a nose of steel. He bangs his head against the wall
And cannot even feel.
When Woodpecker’s jack-hammer head Starts up its dreadful din
Knocking the dead bough double dead How do his eyes stay in?
Pity the poor dead oak that cries
In terrors and in pains. But pity more Woodpecker’s eyes
And bouncing rubber brains.
Did you find all of these examples? Did you find more than us?
Which was easier to find and why?
What do you notice about cries and eyes?

English Poetry Feedback
Good luck remembering fractions from last term. If you can answer the questions, try explaining your thinking to someone else. How do you know that is the answer? What clues are there in the question? What helped you to work out the answer? What is a part-whole model? What is a tenth? What is a hundredth?
Your adults will be impressed by the way you can explain your maths thinking. You can email your teachers with your thinking if you would like to. Remember — your grownups might be very, very busy and you might need to be patient! You are great at being patient at school when there are 31 other children so try to be patient at home too :)
Warning! This question is tricky! Good Luck

Seeds Describe the seeds and beans below according to their size, shape, patterns and
colours. Group them according to their properties e.g. size, shape.
Now, try to think which plants they might grow in to. Read the dictionary
challenge words in the poem and try to predict the meaning
before you look them up.
