Wednesday 13th May - Home Learning
Hi Team Cornflower and Team Sapphire! How are you today?
Here is your home learning:
English
Reading: I hope you are enjoying Zog and the Flying Doctors as much as we are. Today, read the next part of the story below.
Answer these questions about the story so far:
Why did the King lock up Princess Pearl?
Why does Princess Pearl look so cross in the picture of her sewing cushions?
Why do you think Gadabout and Zog tried so hard to free Pearl?
Write down 3 things that happened to the King when he was ill.
How did Pearl find out about how to cure her Uncle?
Where could Gadabout collect slime from?
Do you think Pearl should try to save the King’s life? Explain your answer.
Writing: Today we will write the description of the King.
Use your plan from yesterday to help you write a description of the King in sentences today. Remember, try to include all of these things:
- expanded noun phrases
- verbs and adverbs
- similes (like…. Or as…as…. )
- describing what they are like - their personality
You could start like this:
Sitting on top of his head, the King has a small but shiny golden crown that has rubies that glow like a burning candle. The angry, selfish King stomps his feet loudly on the ground and waves his skinny finger in Pearl's face. The King wears a luxurious, velvet red coat that feels as soft as a rabbit's coat.
Maths
Today we will be moving on to 3D shapes. Attached is a worksheet for you to label. Don’t forget to tell us how many edges, vertices and faces the shape has.
For example:
Cube: 6 faces, 8 vertices and 12 edges.
