Home learning, next week and beyond.

 

Hello everyone,

I can't believe we are approaching the last week of the Spring term, the weeks have raced by. 

Next week the children will be completing their learning on food and digestion. They have developed a good understanding of the basic functions of digestion. 

On Friday the children will work collaboratively to create a model of the digestive system, which they will use to explain how a chocolate egg would be digested. 

From Monday the children will be writing a science fiction inspired big write, imagining that their character has shrunk and is going through someone's digestive system.

To help prepare for their big write, this week's home learning is to draw pictures and plan the main events of their story (they have started thinking about their stories in class).

Children should have come home with hard copies of the cartoon based planner sheet, although a link to the document can be accessed here or an image of page 1 is below:
