Remember, you will be tested on these spellings on Friday, so it is a good idea to practice writing them daily too.
English/Topic: Endangered animals
This week you are going to be looking at an endangered species. We have chosen the orangutan as this is probably not the first animal that you would think of. If we had asked you, you would probably have said, rhino, leopards, tigers and elephants.
We would like you to use the research information and sites that we have attached and make clear notes either by printing off the information and highlighting it or making your own cue cards.
The activity this week is to make a film about the plight of orangutans. These are the things you will need to think about to include in your report. If you are in school, you could create and produce this as a group – make sure you all get in front of the camera though!
If you have siblings across these year groups work together if you wish.
Take your time to research well – set yourself a timetable
Tuesday: continue your research and prepare your cue cards. Begin to make your props/pictures
Research:

If you are unable to make a film (phones are good to use) then produce a written report using:
Most of all, make this fun, involve the whole family, embrace the fact of NOT writing (if you make a film), but remember research and practice will make for a brilliant film.
On Thursday, post your film on Class Dojo or if you have any problems doing this send it to the office email and they will forward it to your teacher.

Having listened to your feedback, some of you preferred the white rose maths, and some preferred the NCETM videos. So, I am going to offer a choice. You can either do the white rose or the NCETM videos. There is no right or wrong option, it is what best suits you. Either lesson will benefit your child.
