Good morning Discoverers, 

I hope that you had a great night’s sleep last night, and are ready for a new day 🙂

In English today, you are going to use Tuesday’s list of differences between night and day, and create a setting description which focuses on the nighttime. 

You worked excellently with your daytime paragraph, and again, I would like you to think about including adjectives, similes and metaphors in today’s. 

Remember to describe what you can hear, see, touch, taste and smell, if all of these are appropriate. The more the better! 

If you would like to, you could write your setting description in the style of a poem, and it could be written in any shape or format. 

Well done on your efforts for yesterday’s maths problem. You worked through this patiently, and managed to work out which amount you would prefer. Here is my answer for you, so you have an idea of how you would explain the reasoning for it. 

Today, I have another problem for you, which not only requires you to find a particular amount, but it also wants you to find more answers, that meet the same criteria. 

Again, work slowly through the problem and try to find as many combinations as you can. 

In science today, we are going to be looking at the effects of deforestation. 

Here is a video for you to watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFcIxfc8nCg&feature=emb_logo

For today’s science work, it would be great if you could create a poster to help stop deforestation. 

To make the poster effective, you could include some of the problems that deforestation causes. 

I hope that you all have a great day,

Mrs Taylor 

Happy Wednesday Discoverers,

I hope you had a great day yesterday. I have been, as always, impressed with the work you have been showing me, and the tremendous effort that you have been putting in to it. Thank you. 

Today in English, we are going to continue looking at different themes from our next focus story, ‘Rain Before Rainbows’. Today we will be focusing on ‘daytime’. 

I would like you to use your list of differences from yesterday, to help you create a setting description for the daytime. This paragraph would usually include lots of adjectives, similes and metaphors, and simply describes a scene during the day. 

To make it more interesting, try to include descriptions of things that stimulate people’s senses, such as what you can see, hear, taste, touch and smell. 

Even though the weather is a little dull today, why don’t you find a nice scene outside to describe? It could be in your garden, or out on a walk, or simply be a description of things you imagine during the daytime. 

How are you finding working with money in maths, this week? From what I have seen you are doing really well 😀

I have uploaded my answers from yesterday, but don’t forget, you may have different combinations of coins, which still add up to the same amount. If you combination is different to mine, ask an adult at home to check it for you.

Today we are focusing on a money problem. 

Try to work through the problem slowly, figure out which operations you may need to use, and then give me your answer, with an explanation for it. 

In science today, we are going to look at the differences between plants during the different seasons? 

Here is today’s video for you to watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFVOI9Duj8M&feature=emb_logo

After you have watched the video, I would like you to draw a tree which is in Spring, then Summer, then Autumn and finally, Winter. You will draw four trees in total, but each of them will look differently, because they change throughout the year. 

Have a lovely day everybody, 

Mrs Taylor
