Day: November 23, 2020

Hello,

Today I have been learning a lot about whales like where they live, what the different types are, and what they eat. I hope you like my drawing.

I have also worked through a Horrible Histories game online about the Vile Victorians. It was good fun but I learned lots about the Victorians and Charles Darwin.

Hi all, Caspian is back!

I started today by working on my spellings – I like finding new and difficult words as I write a lot of my own stories and don’t want them to sound like every other writer. My latest story is top secret until I have finished it and agreed for it to be published.

I had some maths which were a refresher on decimal partitions, long multiplication and correctly identifying numbers in the millions which mum called out to me so I could write them down in words.

I watched Newsround – the top stories were about the Covid vaccine (phew), a Brazilian emu family, and the free style kite event, also in Brazil.

I started reading The Explorer by Jacqueline Wilson. I read up to the chapter titled The River. I thought it well written in places, detailed and very dramatic in terms of the story but the character did not seem well described which actually confused the story line.

Mum spoke to our new teacher today and we are starting our virtual lessons on Wednesday.
