  • Literacy - Task 1 In this lesson, we will start off by writing a complex sentence with a relative clause about Charles Darwin. Then we will look at what an introduction is and plan our own introduction for this biographical writing. After that, we will plan the main body of the text and break the main body into four paragraphs: Early Life, School Life, Voyages and Discoveries. For each paragraph, we will refer to notes made from the previous lessons and insert opening sentences and linking sentences. Finally, we will plan a concluding paragraph.

Reading Task - Year 3 and Year 6

  • Grammar: explore conjunctions. In this lesson, children will explore joining or coordinating conjunctions used in compound sentences. They will identify the two main clauses, the verbs and the coordinating conjunctions in compound sentences. They will look at the difference between 'but' 'and' and 'or' and discover when it is appropriate to use each one. Finally, they will write some compound sentences using coordinating conjunctions.
  • Science: understand the different uses of light. In this lesson, we will learn some of the different uses of light. First, we will look at what a periscope is and how it works. Then, we will learn about the different kinds of lenses that help people to see. To finish our lesson, we will learn about shadow puppet theatres and make our own!

PSHE - WALT: understand ways to look after our mental and physical wellbeing. Take a look at the Mental and physical wellbeing slides. Play the Good Nights Sleep game and create a bedtime routine checklist.
