English
Your Literacy/English work for this week is a detailed Character Study of the main character(s) in your novel.  If you are reading something of your own choice at the moment which you are enjoying, and you would like to study a character from that instead of the class novel you were given in Term 3, that’s fine with me. There are 8 short characterisation tasks for you to complete this week and it’s a four day week, so you may choose to complete 2 each day, or do them all today, it’s up to you.  As you prepare for your secondary education, it is useful to practise prioritising your own workload which means looking at what needs to be done and deciding how you’re going to split up the tasks to ensure you get them completed.  This document can be printed to enable you to do it on the sheet, or alternatively you could type your answers onto a blank word document or just write it in your jotter/notebook.  Don’t forget to spend some time this week reading your novel too. It is important as it builds your reading stamina which is the length of time you can read without losing concentration.  The greater your reading stamina, the longer you can read and the more enjoyment you will gain from reading.  This is because it gives you a chance to really get ‘into’ the book.

Maths
For this week’s maths, I have set a competition for you on Sumdog.  It finishes at 8pm on Sunday 31st May.  The person who comes first will receive a prize, which I will post to your house.  Good luck!

Art: Extreme Close-Up
Get up close to nature.  Find something in your garden, at the park or out on a walk that you can draw.  You could even use a house plant. If your object is in danger of running/flying off, you may want to use a camera or smartphone to take a photo and draw it from the photo. Draw a sketch of it really close up.  Imagine your eye is a camera lens and really zoom in on your object and draw as much detail as you can.  Decide whether you want to use colour or not.  Post a photo of your picture on teams for others to see if they can guess what it is.
