Remember to include lots of adjectives in your writing. Don't forget those capital letters and full stops!

The Way Back Home

 

I would like you to watch the short video below. It is a different version of our story.

 

 

After watching the short video, I would like you to list the similarities and differences between both versions of the story.

I've done one example for you.

 

What's the same?

 

There is a boy and a Martian.

They both travel to space.

 

 

What's different?

 

The boy has a rocket and not an aeroplane.

He uses a ladder to go back to space and not a rope.

 

 

Extra Task

 

In the video, the boy and the Martian don't seem to be able to speak to one another. Write a conversation they might have when they meet.

 

Maths

 

We are going to continue with our 2x, 5x and 10x tables today. I have attached some games for you to play. Don't worry if you don't have a printer, you can easily write your answers on paper. 

Extra Task

 

Make your own times tables game to play with an adult at home.

 

If you are confident with the 2x, 5x and 10x tables, have a go at learning the 3x table. 

 

Remember to continue to work on Times Tables Rock Stars and Numbots.
