Happy Snow Day Primary 5! I hope you are all enjoying your day off in the snow and having lots of fun!
Here are a few activities you can try if you want to while you are at home:
Literacy/Topic:
We have been learning about Victorian children and thinking about the poor children who had to go to work. Can you write a short story about a Victorian child using some of your Boost Words? See how many Boost Words you can include!
(Boost Words: craning, clutching, coldly, drummed, deafening, enraged, furiously, jerked, peculiar, revolting, scented, swiftly, seized, slithering, vigorously, vanished)
Here is a website link that tells you about the different types of work that Victorian children had to do:

- Think of questions that you could ask your favourite author.
- Make an acrostic poem based on the title of your favourite story.
Maths:
- We have been learning a lot about fractions. Can you make up a fractions question of your own and explain how to work out the answer. See if you can use the words numerator and denominator!
