Wednesday 10th June 2020

We're already at the middle day of the week!

Have a look at today's Wellbeing Wednesday task. 

English - Writing

Today we are going to look at how we use verbs in what we say and what we write. 

​One of the most frequent mistakes we make in our writing is to confuse when we use “was” and when we use “were”. 

Normally, if we are talking about one thing (singular) we use “was”.

For example, I was walking, she was swimming, Tom was reading.

If we are talking about more than one thing (plural) or we are talking to someone directly we use “were”.

For example, they were cycling, you were writing. 

Have a look at the sentences below and decide whether they should be was or were.

Now, write 4 of your own sentences that use were and was correctly. 

English - Reading

How are you enjoying the story so far?

Here is the link to Chapter 3 of The Ickabog: https://www.theickabog.com/death-of-a-seamstress/

​In Chapter Three we hear about the poor seamstress who died with one button left in her hand still to sew on to the outfit of the King.
Design your own glamorous outfit for the visit of the King of Pluritania. 

Maths

We have been looking at decimals for the past few weeks.


​
The time we see decimals most is when we are working with money.



Have a look at this video to remind you of the different types of coins and notes that we use and how we can use them. 

​When we are thinking about pounds and pence we can think of 1 pound as 1 whole (£1), 100p =£1 so each p is 1 hundredth of a pound. It is £0.01.

Use this to answer the questions below. 

Spanish

Head over to the Spanish blog to see this week's work. The topic for today is all about the weather.

Don't forget...

• Keep sending in your work. There are lots of you who are not sending in any work at all. 
• Make sure you read for 20 minutes each day. 
• Stay safe when you are outside and when you are online. 

We miss you all!
