Easter Holidays

Year 5, we hope you have a lovely holiday. Please make sure you have a good rest and come back refreshed for summer term. Our new topic is Goodnight Mister Tom so if you would like to start thinking or reading for our new topic you can. If you have a chance, it would really help to keep practicing tables and calculations (x, ÷, - and +) as well as practicing your reading and spellings.

We look forward to seeing some of your learning when we get back.

Year 6-

10 minute challenges please! You have a SPAG and Maths (only 20 minutes over a 2 week holiday) to complete.

HAPPY EASTER!

Term begins on Monday 16th April.

The White Giraffe

Chapter 16

In this chapter Martine has escaped the cave/lovely land where the giraffe was and had jumped into the back of the poachers van. Martine could have been in danger, but fortunately she managed to hide from them. She even managed to get a quick look at what the poachers looked like, although she could not identify them fully! Later in the chapter, when she had arrived home, the poachers had been caught and Alex (game reserve) apologised for his actions and how he treated Martine. Despite his apology, Martine is still suspicious of him and thinks he could be behind the poaching of the African animals. Martine now trusts none, except her friend, Jemmy. (The White Giraffe.)

The words we have looked up in the dictionary were:

• ·         Propelled
• ·         Accomplice
• ·         Predicament
• ·         Cautiously
• ·         Dense foliage
• ·         Bemused

We have also practiced our retrieval of information and inference skills.
