Maths

How would you find the solution to this problem?  You could make the squares from pieces of paper and colour them in if you need to build the puzzle. 





English

 One of my favourite books is 'Tuesday' by David Wiesner.  It's a picture book, therefore it doesn't have any words.  You can follow this link to see the book.... Tuesday by David Wiesner



Above is an image from the book.   Can you consider the following questions? Use modal verbs to answer the questions (may, might, would, shall, will, can, could, must, should, ought) 

 What different things might Rusty (the dog) go and do next? 

What might the frogs do next? 

What will the Rusty’s owner notice in the morning? 

What action will they take? 

How could this have turned out differently? 

What advice would you give to Rusty and his owner?

 Now watch this version of the story... Tuesday by David Wiesner

What is different from the first version that you watched? 
Which do you prefer? 

Can you create the next book in the series...Wednesday?  What would it be like?  Be as creative as you can be, let your imagination go.

Hi Rowan class, I hope that you have all had a safe and relaxing holiday.  I've done a lot of organising, cooking and enjoyed my daily walks looking at all the flowers and wildlife.  I look forward to you sending me any activities that you have enjoyed doing over the holidays.   Maths English Read the poem: I am a writer. Read it in your head first and then try reading it out loud. What rhythms and patterns can you hear when you read it aloud? Choose your favourite three images from the poem. Why do you like these images in particular? I am a writer by Joseph Coelho   I am the clash and collide of the stars  because I create worlds.  I am the awareness of the trees because I hear the wind.  I am the sweat of a rainbow  because I refract all the colours.  I am the blood in a pen because I ink arteries.  I am the blade in a sharpener because I make nibs vanish.  I am the edge of a rubber, rounded,  worn and softened by mistake

What five words could describe the shepherds?  What five words could describe the woman?  Which of the characters do you admire the most? Ouch! By Kevin Crossley-Holland  Five shepherds fell asleep under a tree. And in their sleep they sighed and stretched and tossed and turned and tied their legs into a knot. When they woke up, they didn't know which leg belonged to who. “I'm hungry,” said one shepherd.  “And I'm thirsty,” said another.  All five of them were thirsty and hungry, but they were unable to stand up.   “What's wrong with you, men?” shouted a woman on her way to the well:The sun's up and you're still on your backs.'   “We can't stand up,” said the shepherds. “We don't know which leg belongs to who.”   “What's it worth?” asked the woman.   “Worth?” said one shepher
