How are you today? Are you ready for some more learning at home? It is good to see so many of you completing all the tasks set which will keep you moving forward in your learning while you are off school. Well done on all your hard work. If you haven’t started yet it is not too late, there are lots of tasks to choose from on glow and MyTeams. Let me know if you are struggling with anything and need any help.

>>Onomatopoeias – Read ‘Storm Chasers’ pages 28 to 31. Write at least one paragraph predicting what you think is going to happen next. Use your prior knowledge of what you have read so far to help you make sensible predictions about what the characters will face next. Try to explain your thinking and put as much detail into your answer as you can. Then read pages 32 to 38 to see if you were right.

>>Adjectives – Read ‘Double Exposure’ pages 21 to 35 and complete the questions given in the Word file below.

Try to describe his personality, life experiences, behaviours and anything else you think might give a picture of the character.
