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. Â Our story starts in the present day but doesn’t continue in the present, it moves back into the past. Â Read it here:
The_Last_Wolf_-_Michael_Morpurgo-1
Think about why Miya calls her Grandpa an ostrich. Â What type of language is this? Â Why is it written in capital letters? Â Try this activity:
The-Last-Wolf_TP-11-12-2
What is going to happen next? Â 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! Â Your plane can carry coins, lego, small items (unbreakable!!) that you can attach to it. Â 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. Â Upload pictures or a video to your blog, can’t wait to see them! Â Enjoy!
