Good morning Primary 6,

I hope that you had a lovely weekend.

Here is Cressida Cowell reading Chapter 19 of, “How to Train your Dragon.”

Hiccup and Toothless have just saved everyone from certain death but the tribes believe that Toothless is dead and are giving a great viking funeral to the little dragon. Describe this funeral before it is interrupted by Hiccup, Fishlegs and Horrorcow.

Here is some film that might spark your imagination.

I’ve also assigned you some more books in Scholastic Books. Some are shorter but there is one longer novel that I think that you will enjoy.

May is the month of Mary.

In class we would be making a May Altar in honour of Our Lady. One of the things that we would be putting on our class altar would be flowers. Can you find out which flowers are associated with Our Lady? Perhaps you could try to find or draw some at home that you could use to begin making a May Altar of your own.

As it’s Monday it’s time to get your body moving.

Remember you can still choose another task from your learning grid and there are other tasks on Sumdog, StudyLadder, FirstNews and Scholastic Books.

You can email me any of your work at:

gw09mcintoshdavid3@glow.sch.uk

 

May the fourth be with you!

 

Mr. McIntosh
