Today, we mapped the solar system and then took part in art activities, including beginning to make a 3D planet display using paper macher.  We still have a couple of layers to paste over our balloons before letting them dry completely and paint them to resemble the planets.  We will keep you posted on progress.

Literacy

Reading

• Read at least up to chapter 4 of your reading book at home.
• Wow Words – Record new and interesting words that you read, have a guess at what you think they might mean from the context of the sentence and find out their meanings.  Were you correct?
• V.I.P.s – (Very Important Points).  In class, we have been practising identifying the Very Important Points in a text i.e. The Main Points without the detail.  Record the VIPs in a list in your jotter.

Space

• Research a famous astronaut / space explorer.
• Create a poster at home about this person – Remember it can be a male or female!
• Just as we have been creating planet posters in class, these astronaut posters must include: a title, subtitle, a picture / photo of your astronaut, at least 5 detailed facts about your chosen astronaut, with subtitles.
• It must also be eye-catching, neat and well presented.
• You may complete this on the computer or handwrite on paper.

Remember the Top Tip for creating a poster on word – Use Text boxes to move pictures and text around on the page.

This morning, in maths, we chose an activity related to place value and played some games with a partner.  We used game boards, dice, templates etc. to practice partitioning, making the biggest number and change the digit, change the value.

Some of us also got to further our maths skills on our favourite maths app – Sumdog!
