What did teachers do when you did something wrong?
What resources and equipment did you use in the classroom?

Why did people travel through the heath?
Who were the most famous highwaymen on Hounslow Heath? Why were they famous?

Have a lovely weekend,

After all the excitement of the Night Keeper Zoo’s visit, we are going to calm things down a bit! Please visit 100wc.net to read the showcase entries - they are awesome! You can even leave the author a comment.
Here are five words that you must include in your 100 words this week. They are:
… Marvellous Castle Flew Noisily Pink …
So that means you have 105 words to use in a creative piece of writing. Try to highlight the words so that your readers can see them easily.
Remember to email your entry to the blog, including your name in the title and tags (see how to post page for instructions)
1. Maths - fractions on mymaths
2. Olympics research. You have started to research your chosen Olympic country and put some of that information into Prezi, ready to share with the class, and, if your group does a great job, in a school assembly.
We're impressed with your Prezi skills. However, lots of the information you have found needs further explaining. For example, if you mention famous people from your country, you need to find out why they're famous. If you mention GDP or other unfamiliar terms, you need to find out what they mean and explain them in a way that shows you understand - otherwise your audience won't understand either! If you mention something really interesting, for example, Brazil has over 500 species of birds, you need to give some examples and attempt to explain why. Finally, find out one or two things that make your country unusual or special (could be about its geography, its people, its climate, its history, even its food or music). Record everything neatly on paper, to add to your Prezis next week. Remember to check your information is from a reliable source.
3. Reading - make sure you record regular reading in your reading record book, including the book title, page numbers and date.
4. (Optional). 100 word challenge - see 5J blog for prompt or go direct to 100wc.net. Try to send your entry to your blog by email as this makes it much quicker. Entries must be in by Tuesday morning to enter the challenge.
5. Get ready for our Victorians day on Thursday - make sure you research costumes and get these and your props ready. You will also need to research how to behave and ensure you know what to film.
Make sure you find some time to have fun this bank holiday weekend too, let's hope the weather improves!
Your homework this week is as follows: -
1. Maths - handling data worksheet
2. A very cool 100 word challenge. Refer to 5J's blog to see what this weeks prompt is and then post it below!
3. Victorian timeline: use your knowledge of maths timelines to create your own with intervals of 10, 20 or 25 years. Find out at least 10 important dates about the era and put them on your timeline neatly. We will display the best ones! - not the school comparison.
Keep reading and practising your maths.
Have a lovely weekend.
The prompt this week is linked to the 23rd April. For those of us in the UK it is St Georges Day. He is the patron saint of England and the legend tells of him slaying a dragon. So the prompt is:
…the dragon slowly stirred …
Your homework for this week is as follows: -
