Literacy – Writing
Find your story planner that you did yesterday. It will look something like this.
You used this to decide on your setting character and problem.
In your home learning jotter. Write sentences for each section.
- Describe about where the story took place
- Describe the character in the story. Include what they look like and what kind of person are they.
- Explain the main problem
- How did the character take to solve the problem?
- How does you story end?
Remember when you are writing you need to remember how to write a superhero sentence. If you are stuck on how to spell a word try and sound it out, say it slowly so you can hear the letters in the word.
Enjoy writing your story.

Science
Storm in a Glass
We tried this experiment in class. Can you remember? Have a go doing this experiment at home.
Materials
- Shaving cream
- A large glass
- water
- Food coloring
- A spoon
Instructions:
- Fill the glass 1/2 full with water
- Spray some shaving cream on top of the water to fill the glass to ¾ full.
- Use your finger or a spoon to spread the shaving cream evenly over the top of the water. The top of the shaving cream should be flat.
- Mix ½-cup water with 10 drops of food coloring in a separate container. Gently add the colored water, spoonful by spoonful, to the top of the shaving cream. When it gets too heavy, watch it storm!
Watch Scientist Joe conduct the experiment here!
How does it work?
Clouds in the sky hold onto water. They can hold millions of gallons! The layer of shaving cream is our pretend cloud in this experiment. The shaving cream layer can also hold onto water. Clouds can’t keep storing more and more water forever, eventually they get too heavy. When that happens, the water falls out (precipitates) as rain, snow, sleet, or hail.
Further Experiments
- Try more water and less shaving cream, or less water and more shaving cream. Which one looks more like a drizzle, and which one looks like a downpour?
