A drizzly Tuesday today. Operation Jump for Joy is underway and we have done some research into trampolines to present to Dad.

Then we did our morning misery - I mean Maths.  I completed the White Rose Maths Sheet and put this on the school site.  I got them all right so I was pleased.  I then did some rounding up of decimals.  I completed all of the lessons on the Oak National Academy.  I did the Maths lesson were we continued to look at reflections and identify the patterns.  I learned that if the line of reflections is parallel to the X axis then the coordinates of the original and the reflection on the X axis will stay the same.  This is the same when the line of symmetry is on the Y axis - the Y coordinates in the reflection will be the same as the original.

In the English lesson the focus was on word meanings so I had to pick out key words and look at synonyms.  The best lesson was Spanish.  We went over the numbers and the letters of the alphabet.  We then looked at greetings and questions such as What is your name, how are you and how old are you?  Me and my mum had a conversation in Spanish when we put it all together.

Seren:  Hola.  Buenos dias!
Mum:  Buenos dias.  Como estas?
Seren Muy bien.  Como te llamas?
Mum:  Me llamo Caroline.  Y tu?
Seren:  Me llamo Seren.
Mum:  Cuanto anos tienes?
Seren: Tengo diez anos.

We then recapped the animation 'Tuesday' that we did yesterday.  I read the opening of a report and I had to continue it writing in the speech.  We looked at the rules for punctuating speech and then I finished the report.  Mum checked my punctuation.

One of the tasks my teacher has set me this week is to write a holiday brochure for a US State.  I have decided on New York because there are lots of interesting places to visit and it's great for shopping and fashion!  Yesterday, I looked at persuasive features so I can use these to help persuade people to go on holiday to New York.  Today, I researched the state and decided I would just focus on New York City because there is so much to write about.  I watched some videos about it and made notes.  I then researched the weather and geography for the introduction.  I picked some good photos too.  I wanted the statue of liberty on the front of my brochure because everyone knows it. My first page has my introduction - I tried to use good language and to give clear information.  I am going to do a page on the landmarks tomorrow.

I then did some quiet reading.  I have tap and ballet later.
