Remember when we looked at writing a newspaper report last term you wrote a newspaper article about the three little pigs. I have put the link below so you can watch it again.

I would like you to think of another fairy tale or a nursery rhyme that you could change slightly and write a newspaper report about it. It could be about Humpty Dumpty who went for a walk up Pontesford Hill and was pushed down!

Today, plan out your newspaper report. Think about the headline, the 5 W paragraph, sub-headlines and any quotations you might want to include.

Today, we are looking at identifying acute and obtuse angles in 2-D shapes.

Remember an acute angle is less than a right angle. An obtuse angle is greater than a right angle but less than a straight angle.

Look at the PowerPoint and then try Challenge 2 on the PowerPoint.

• Use questions to provoke a reaction.
• Use statistics to reinforce the argument.
• Use furthermore and in addition to link your ideas.
• Use indeed and besides this to emphasise a point.
• Use in conclusion to sum up the argument.
