Another school are learning about The Piano! They are trying to figure out what is going on in the story. If you have time, please can you visit their blog and share your ideas?

Here is the video that we watched in Literacy today.
Today we tried “Talk for Writing”! This is a technique we will be using a lot in Literacy this year. It’s based on the principle:
Think it
Say it
Like it
Write it!
We used the picture above as our starting point. We worked on taking our first ideas and saying them out loud, then seeing how we could improve them.
“The man jumped between the rocks over the gap” became “The brave and risk-taking man leaped effortlessly between the hard, bumpy rocks, clearing the gigantic gap.” What a great improvement!
We’ll be bringing you more of our great writing soon!
You have PE tomorrow! Please remember your kit! 🙂 You will need indoor kit suitable for Street Dance.

Good afternoon 5D!
Your mission this afternoon is to find the answers to the questions you thought of this morning – and more!
Use Google or Bing to find the answers. You could start by typing in something like “Brain facts for kids”. Â
Remember to use key words to help with your search. If you want to find out how much the brain weighs, try typing in “brain weight” or even “average brain weight”. Remember to check how reliable the page you have found is. For example, “Wiki Answers” can be written by anyone – think about how reliable the answer seems and check with another page to see if the answers match.
Useful websites are:

When you have found your answers, write the facts you have found out in your jotter. Also add interesting facts to this Wallwisher! http://www.wallwisher.com/wall/thebrain
