Good afternoon everyone,

I hope you have had a great morning.

Our afternoon tasks today are our Novel Study and STEM.

I need to to think about the different ways stories start; Once upon a time…; straight into the main part; looking back on the story from the end; setting the scene; etc.  Our story starts in the present day but doesn’t continue in the present, it moves back into the past.  Read it here:

The_Last_Wolf_-_Michael_Morpurgo-1

Think about why Miya calls her Grandpa an ostrich.  What type of language is this?  Why is it written in capital letters?  Try this activity:

The-Last-Wolf_TP-11-12-2

What is going to happen next?  Do you think Robbie McLeod is a relative of Grandpa and Miya? Why?

STEM:

The challenge today is to make a paper plane that can carry cargo!  Your plane can carry coins, lego, small items (unbreakable!!) that you can attach to it.  Here’s a link with some ideas to help (you may need to copy and paste the link into your browser):

Paper Airplane Instructions for Multiple Designs

There’s instructions on how to fold a paper aeroplane but you can also use your own design.  Upload pictures or a video to your blog, can’t wait to see them!  Enjoy!
