Good Morning Room 6,
I hope you’ve all had a wonderful weekend enjoying the sunshine. Maybe some of you have been able to meet up with some friends or family outside. We stayed up late last night looking up to the sky to see if we could spot the rocket that was launched from the USA, and heading towards the International Space Station. We didn’t see it unfortunately, but Arran and Ena went to bed knowing that there were astronauts flying overhead in a rocket in space, and that in itself was really exciting. Did any of you spot it?
Well done to you all for your super progress on Study Ladder. I can see you are working very hard and I am very proud of all of you.
Thank you to everyone for your enthusiasm for our Under the Sea Topic. As always, please send any photos or PowerPoints to me on gw16mirnererica@glow.sch.uk
This week, we are still thinking about Sea Creatures and looking at Life Cycles. Some sea creatures are mammals, like us. They are known as “marine mammals”. This means that they give birth to live young, breath air and feed their babies with their own milk. There are around 120 species of marine mammals, including whales, dolphins, porpoises, polar bears, seals and sealions.
However, most sea creatures are what we call “oviparous” – which means they lay eggs rather than giving birth to live young. This week, I’d like you to explore the life cycle of one of these “oviparous” creatures. A sea reptile – the amazing Sea Turtle.
Have a look at the Power point about the fascinating life cycle of a sea turtle.

Complete the worksheet, or draw your own Sea Turtle lifecycle.
If you want, you can make your own booklet explaining the life cycle of the sea turtle. Use sentences to describe each phase, Remember capital letters and full stops. Try to make your booklet as interesting as possible by using good vocabulary (words) at you might not usually use. make sure you keep the reader interested by starting each sentence in a new way. (not always “the”) The link below has a template booklet

Have fun exploring lifecycles. Other interesting lifecycles to research include butterflies and frogs.
Keep smiling room 6!
