I did the White Rose Maths lesson on adding Fractions.  I was really tired so we did the Oak National Spanish lesson with Miss Harrison which always livens me up!  I remembered my alphabet, numbers and days of the week.  Then I learned how to answer the question 'Comos estas?'.

Today, I said 'Estoy cansada'.

After a break we did the Oak National Maths lesson with Mr Barton. It was a recap of cubed numbers.  I completed the table.  

I then did the English lesson.  We looked at some instructions on how to avoid being chased by some strange creatures.  I learned some new words:

Dishevelled 

adjective  - (of a person's hair, clothes, or appearance) untidy; disordered.

Sporadically 

adverb - occasionally or at irregular intervals.

Outlandish 

adjective - looking or sounding bizarre or unfamiliar.

I then did some more planning on my story for Mr A.  It's going very well.  My mum asked me to plan out two characters. I had to explain their INNER (thoughts, values, personality), OUTER (appearance, behaviour) and CONTEXT (back story).  I planned Yuri, a young amateur detective and Martha, a jealous, rich brat.  Here is my work:

My mum then explained the pyramid structure to help me plan the structure of my story.  We plotted it first for the story of JAWS and The Princess and the Pea.  I then followed the stages to plot my story.  Here is my story pyramid. I'm going to plan 2 more characters because I enjoyed doing this.

I also did my science work set by Mr A.  This was really interesting. I watched lots of videos and made notes.  I learned about:

• Adaptation
• Inheritance
• Evolution

I made a sheet and used Ziggy as an example!

MY HANDOUT

I have started reading The illustrated Mum by Jacqueline Wilson.  I've still a couple of chapters on Little Women and Second Form at Malory Towers but my mum has got free access to the digital book So I did some quiet reading at the end of my lessons.
