Thank you to all of you who have sent in work. Come back later to have a look at all the good learning and see if you get a special mention. 

Thinking Thursday

Picture
What is something that has made you stronger?

English - Writing

Similes and metaphors are a great way of building imagery into our writing. We have looked at them before. 

This video explains a bit about them to remind you of what the difference is. (The video is made to teaching you about poems, some of the types of imagery it talks about aren't needed for our fictional story.)
Create 3 similes and 3 metaphors related to the scene that you drew on Monday. 

English - Reading

In Chapter 14 the men return from the Marshlands after the terrible accident. Fred wants to keep everything quiet, but Lord Spittleworth has other ideas. 

https://www.theickabog.com/lord-spittleworths-plan/

Lord Spittleworth is hoping that the news of the Ickabog spreads quickly and makes the beast sound as fearsome as possible. 
​"His entire plan rested on a king who not only believed in an Ickabog, but who was scared it might leave the marsh to chase him."
Your job is to help Lord Spittleworth with the most outrageous description of the Ickabog you can manage. In your description use words to describe it's size, how it made you feel, the smell and the sounds. Imagine you are telling everyone in Jeraboam all about this beast. Make it sound as scary as you can! 

Maths

We're continuing with yesterday's theme and doing some more problem solving involving addition and subtraction today. 

A few things to remember:
  • You must use 10 numbers. 
  • The numbers must total 37. 

If you're finding it impossible, come up with an explanation for why it isn't possible. 

What is the closest number you can make to 37 instead?

Computing

We're continuing with our work trying to understand how computers and the internet really work. Today we're going to be thinking about the question: How do the internet and search engines work?

Follow this link to watch the two videos: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zn6vgwx

Once you've watched the videos, head here https://studio.code.org/s/hero/stage/1/puzzle/1 to continue using your coding skills. 

Don't forget...

  • Check back later to see this week's Good Learning and Special Mentions blog.
  • Continue to use Purple Mash to ask for help if you are stuck, more and more of you are doing it and it's the quickest and easiest way for us to clarify things for you. 
  • Send in or upload your work so we can see what you've been getting up to. 

We miss you lots!

Ruth and Emily
