5. There is a place value task for you up on Sumdog starting today which ends with an assessment on Friday.
6. There is also a place value learning pod now open on Studyladder to help you along.
Here is Cressida Cowell reading Chapter 11 (part 1) of, “How to Train your Dragon.”
There are lots of descriptive similes used in this chapter,
“…like 50 dragon trying to get in…”
“…like a couple of sleeping babies…”
Listen to the chapter again and try to write down all of the similes that are used. Cressida Cowell is very careful to only use similes that vikings would understand,
“…like dragons…”
“…like babies…”
“…like cliffs…”
Why do you think that she does this?
Why does she not use similes that we would recognise like, “…as tall as a block of flats…?”
What do the similes add to the story?

For Health and Wellbeing today I have created a new Learning Pod on Studyladder called “Home and Sun Safety” that I would like you to do.
Now listen to this reading from the Acts of the Apostles and think about how the actions of the early Christian Church is being repeated today by the many people and organisations who are helping one another through this time of lockdown.
If there is anyone who is still looking for their log in for Studyladder please email me and I can send it straight to you.
Finally for today, who fancies some Spanish?
Mr. McIntosh
