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 starts at 9am today (Tuesday) and 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!

Health and Wellbeing

First aid – Have a look at this lesson from the Red Cross about helping someone who is unresponsive and not breathing.  There are video clips and a quiz for you to see how much you have remembered.  We would normally be doing Heartstart around this time, and looking at CPR.  In school, we would have been practising on the resuscitation dolls and reminding you of the steps.  You learned how to do this at the Dalziel Health Fayre when the volunteer s from the St Andrew’s Ambulance service showed you resuscitation.  Can you remember what to do?
