Monday 18th May 2020

Monday again!  I started with a reading paper.  I had to read about looking after rabbits, school uniform, Gelert and a poem about a boy wanting a bike.  I then answered questions.  I was really pleased as I got 43 out of 50.  The piece I most enjoyed reading was the story of Gelert.  You can read about the legend here:

Gelert

I then did the White Rose Maths lesson on adding and subtracting fractions followed by the Oak National lesson on measuring volumes. I have to remember to:

1. Check the unit
2. Work out the interval
3. Find the measurement

I then did the Oak National English lesson on Instructions.  I read the instructions for a Morrison Shelter and answered the questions.

I also did the RE lesson with Miss Read.  Today I learned about the life of Siddharthu Gautama 'the enlightened one'.  Here is my story map of his life. He started as a Prince but on seeing the suffering outside he rejected his lifestyle and meditated to become awake.

This is my story map:

Mr A has set us the task of writing a story.  I like this task and I have started to plan my ideas.  

I watched all of the videos about setting, characters and inference and I drew a mind map of my initial thoughts and ideas for my story.  Here is my mind map:

I am going to do planning everyday but I am not going to tell you!  You will have to wait for the finished story.  I have created a scrapbook for my teacher so he can read my plans.

I finished the day by reading some more of Little Women.  I've nearly finished.
