Ni Hao Year 5!

I hope you enjoyed yesterdays activities. What was the most fascinating fact you discovered about DNA? Did you know we share 50% of our DNA with bananas and that we share 99.1% of our DNA with chimpanzees. How amazing is that? Post your thoughts, ideas and questions to our Purple Mash blog and join the year 5 virtual circle time blog post too. Don't forget that Emily is always here for you too, ELSA is all set up on Purple Mash. Join her for some really fun questioning or just to have a chat.

Challenges for today:

Reading: Check out serial mash for books to read online. When you have read a chapter, please make sure you answer the questions about that chapter, there are a variety of tasks you could do.

Literacy: Continue your Dick Turpin web page. If you finish: proof read, edit, up level and self critique it. I know that some of you have been using video apps to communicate with you friends and share your work. Give each other partner critiques to help each other improve and explain what you really like. Check yesterdays post for my example for your writing. 

Maths: Have a go at these using our CLIC strategies: 
7352 ÷ 46
152 x 924
12,374,682 + 9,723,521
83,741,002 - 51,328,822
