for you to work on.

Let me know how you get on at

There is also a short place value assessment waiting for you on Sumdog today. It only lasts for one day so you’ll need to do it before dinner time.

Here is Cressida Cowell reading Chapter 13 of, “How to Train your Dragon.”

But today I want you to look back at the similes in Chapter 11

Have a look at this work on how to understand and use similes and metaphors,

Then try the activities that follow it.

If you haven’t checked already, there is a road safety design competition starting on the school’s Twitter today.

You could also try some Spanish alphabet today.

For Health today I want you to look back over your week and make a list of the things that you have achieved. You are all dealing with big changes in the way that you live and learn and today is a great opportunity to remind yourself that you are doing well.

As you round out your week remember that you and your family can still celebrate Mass on the St. Barbara’s Facebook page.

Mr. McIntosh

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?

Record your answers in your jotter. Email them to me at

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.
