Hi Everyone,
Nice easy task for you to get your hands on , looking at some important literary concepts that link perfectly to our Expressive Arts theme,
Click the Sway below to work through your Interactive Lesson on Inferring and Deducing Skills.
SPICY learners it would be great for you to give this a go as well 🙂
Today you are going to be learning about some of the features of a biography before planning and writing your own.
I have suggested that you base your biography on an artist but, as our theme this fortnight is Expressive Arts, please feel free to choose an artist, sculptor, architect, musician, dancer or actor as your subject.
The Sway below contains all the information required for you to create your biography.
Don’t forget to set your work out neatly, taking a new paragraph every time there is a change of subject. Please share your completed biography with your teacher, and don’t forget to come back on the Blog to let me know how you got on.  😊
Health and Wellbeing/Expressive Arts
Remember, we all believe that having a growth mindset is very important so the activities are organised into the following levels.
Let’s leap into the learning pit and learn from our mistakes to achieve GREAT things! The teachers will be sharing their attempts too.
Keep checking the blog, Â please leave COMMENTSÂ and send your work to your teacher via email/Seesaw or add to your Sway so that we can stay connected.
I hope that you have enjoyed your second week of Health fortnight. Hopefully, you have all been reading for enjoyment, just like me!
I have been reading ‘The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and The Horse’ by Charlie Mackesy.

Good morning, everyone.
As it’s the last week of our Health Fortnight, I thought I would choose something healthy for my Literacy challenge. All the answers to today’s anagrams are names of fruits and vegetables.
If you haven’t tried working out an anagram before – it’s easy! Just unscramble the letters in each question to form the name of a fruit or vegetable. I find the easiest way to do this is to write down all the letters in random order on a piece of paper. You can also cut them up and rearrange them that way, moving them around until you work it out.
Click on the Sway to take part. Good luck!
Last week I posted a poem on the subject of mental wellbeing. This week’s poem focuses on Personal and Physical Wellbeing. First, read the poem or listen to the audio clip, then answer the questions in my Sway. You may need to do a little research in order to answer some of them.
Mum says I have to brush my teeth
In the morning and at night.
They look and taste much better
But I hate it when she’s right.
Dad says I have to take a bath
And wash my body well.
I do feel nice and clean and fresh
But now he’s right as well!
My brother says I have to wash
My hands to keep them clean.
He’s right, my fingers feel so good
Without dirt in between.
My sister says I have to eat
Some vegetables each day.
She’s right, I have more energy
To run and walk and play.
I feel more healthy and I’ve got
Much better teeth and skin.
Don’t tell them that I think they’re right –
I hate it when they win!
Gillian Craig
Listen to it being read aloud here.
Now answer the questions. As always, don’t forget to write in complete sentences (not one-word answers) and check that you have included capital letters and full stops.
Yesterday we talked about our ambitions and dreams something we could reach for in the sky.
Today we are going to look at the skills and qualities we have ourselves to help us reach that target. Have these discussions while you are taking the time to look at the sky.
To reach the ambition in the sky, we are going to need wings, your wings are made of words that the meaning relates to you.
Follow the steps below in the sway to complete part 2.
Remember this can be a drawing activity too and also send in your work to your teacher through seesaw or email.
I hope that you have enjoyed your first week of Health fortnight. Hopefully, you have all been reading for enjoyment, just like me!

Thank you to everyone who has joined the Book Bear Club.
Dot would like to share another of her favourite books with you.
We read the story together at our thoughtful spot just when the sun was lower in the sky, it was very peaceful.
By the way ,on Tuesday Dot shared the story ‘The Bad Tempered Ladybird’
I have always wondered if a ladybird could be bad tempered as I am rather fond of them.
This link takes you to the Countryside Classroom where they investigate this question. (a lot of text )
On page 3 they answer some questions
On page 5 they tell you how to make ladybirds happy.
