Hope you have all had a great weekend!

We have a very busy week ahead with our STEM projects so I have only given you two tasks to complete.

Reading

Please read at least one Chapter  (11, 12 or 13)  from the class novel.   Write 2 questions  about the Chapter that you will be able to ask a partner in class. Think of the comprehension questions that you have answered in class about previous Chapters you have read. You could ask a question about an event,   what we can infer from a character’s actions or behaviour or the meaning of a tricky word.

Maths

Please log onto  RM easimaths and practice for at least 30 minutes. This can be spread over the week.

I note that a lot of the class have not yet completed any activities on RM easimaths. Please ensure that  you have a note from home (by this Thursday) if you are unable to  access  your easimaths account.

Have a great week!
