Reading
Daniel Radcliffe who played Harry Potter in the movies, reads the first chapter of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. For those of you who are Harry Potter fans, you can have a listen to this here.  If you happen to have the book at home, you could read along with him. Click on the link above to find out how you can get involved in submitting your own artwork to be used during future readings.

Also remember there is maths and literacy set over on Studyladder and a competition running on Sumdog.  You also have your Ancient Egyptian Gods and Goddesses mini research project on Teams (click on the assignments tab).

Please remember that tomorrow is a holiday and Monday is an in-service day for teachers, so you have a 4 day weekend! Enjoy the break and I will see you all back here on Tuesday. ☀️

I know by now you are all well used to me making mistakes (just to make sure you’re paying attention), but I have another one to announce.

Turns out the Inservice Day is not tomorrow (Thursday) as I first said, it’s actually Monday 11th May.

Sorry about that.

Here is an interesting lesson about the Ancient Egyptians Gods and Goddesses. I know we’ve spoken a bit about Ancient Egypt and some of you chose to do a bit of research when we did our Non-Fiction minibooks.  So I think you will find this an interesting lesson.  Please visit the Teams page to tell me what you have learned.

I have set an assignment on Teams to follow this lesson, so start with the lesson first and then try the assignment.

Also check my blog post from Friday about Dekko Comics and look at the pages on historical sources, if you haven’t already.

Read the next chapter of your novel, or any other book that you are reading/enjoying at the moment.
