Homework this week is 2 maths worksheets based on number sequences, spelling and a reading challenge.  For the reading challenge, access the following website which relates to our Scottish Wars of Independence topic:

http://medievaleurope.mrdonn.org/plague.html

Read the section which begins ‘Have you ever heard the nursery rhyme……….’ and fill out the next page in your Reading Passport.  For those who have lost theirs, just use a notepad.  The sections you need to complete are Book Title (which would be The Plague), Author (the name of the website), the date you read it, your star rating out of 5 and What you thought of it (summarise what you learned and your opinion of the piece).  Also, think about the reading challenge you set yourself on p.4 of your Reading Passport.  Have you stuck to it? Make a comment underneath and try to come up with a second reading challenge for yourself.  Fill it out underneath your first one on p.4.
