Thank you for another fabulous week, only one more to go until we are back in school.

Good morning everyone
BRILLIANT JOKES YESTERDAY ON ZOOM ... THANK YOU!
Literacy
Writing: Non-chronological report
Today I would like you to use your notes that you have made about your African animal, to begin to write your report.
Remember to include the following:
Title
Introduction
Sub-headings
Facts that are written in the present tense.
Include photos that are linked to your sentences
Extend your sentences by using conjunctions.
You should have thought of 5 sub-headings yesterday, so do the introduction and the first two
subheadings and then leave the other sub headings until tomorrow. You should have collected some
photographs yesterday to use in your writing.
If you are unsure, read the reports I have uploaded about Giraffes and Crocodiles. This should remind
you how to set out your report and give you a few ideas.
Maths
Time: O'clock, half past, quarter past and quarter to times (recap)
I would like you to use the lesson today to revisit what we have learnt in the first two lessons.
I have uploaded some matching cards for you to use. You can cut the cards out, separate them into clocks and written times and then match the written times to the clock.
You can also play snap with the cards
I would also like you to spend some time practicing reading different times by playing this game online:
