For your reading today I would like you have a look at one of these comprehensions. I find this fascinating.  The creatures that live in the deepest part of the oceans are absolutely amazing. Choose the comprehension that is best for you, comprehension 3 is the most tricky.

Oceans Comprehension 3

Those creatures of the deep that we do know about, are unlike anything you will have seen before!!  If you have time, when you have finished the comprehension, you could have a little look at this short video.

Animals of the Deep

We share books everyday in school so here is a story to share today.

The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs

Can you now practise your spellings, you can find them on Friday’s post.  You could try pyramid writing them in bright colours if you like.

This afternoon is our topic afternoon.  We are beginning a new topic about all about farming through history.

Just like in science, when we begin a new topic, we make a spider diagram to show what we know already.  So, tell me what you know about farming.

I’d like you to think about how farming began.  Farming began during the stone age when people who hunted and gathered their food began to spend time in one spot and keep cows, sheep, goats, pigs and dogs.  They began planting crops rather than collecting them.

Have a look at this picture. Play a game of eye-spy, what do you see?

If you wish to, you could cut out the pictures of foods that stone age people gathered, hid them around your house or garden and pretend to he a stone age gatherer, collecting your food.

Here is a website that tells you a little about the stone age.
