Good morning, everyone. One week to go…We can do this!
English:
LO: To plan my report.
Today, I would like you to plan your report.
I would like you to plan your title, subheadings, your picture or diagram and which fun fact or did you know questions you want to include. Use all your notes from last week to help you. I have included a Planning sheet which you could print out if you wish or you could just make your own plan on a piece of paper. If you made notes on the animals in each layer then you can plan your report with the layers as subheadings or you could write a paragraph about the layers then write other paragraphs about animals, tribes, deforestation, etc You choose. You must have at least 3 paragraphs as the main body plus an introduction to Rainforests which we will focus on tomorrow. If you want to include more information, that’s fine too.
Please do not write your report yet, we are only thinking about planning today!
Reading Comprehension: Relying on the Rainforest Fact Cards Some of you have said you would like to know about other things, such as foods, which we can get from Rainforests so I have included some fact cards here for you to read.
Answer these questions:
- Name 6 things which come from the Rainforest.
- What does chocolate mean in the Aztec language?
- In which two products is palm oil used?
- Why is it important to check your products don’t contain palm oil? ***
- How tall can the Brazil nut tree grow to?
- Why is Vanilla so expensive?
- Name four fruits and vegetables you like which come from rainforests?
- Who first discovered natural rubber?
Spellings: Draw a small picture next to each of your spellings to help remind you which homophone is which (not witch!) Be imaginative, the drawings need only to be simple and helpful to you. Do the easiest ones first. For example, you could include a cross for eliminate or a cereal bowl and spoon for cereal or an arrow pointing backwards for the past
