Hello,
I would just like to say how much I enjoyed seeing you all last week! I went home with an enormous smile on my face every day, so thank you.
This week’s tasks are all around the theme of ‘space’.

Thursday
Reading: Read the sentences below aloud, emphasising the word in bold each time.
- She said she did not take his money.
- She said she did not take his money.
- She said she did not take his money.
- She said she did not take his money.
- She said she did not take his money.
- She said she did not take his money.
- She said she did not take his
- She said she did not take his money.
How does the meaning of the sentence change? E.g. In sentences 1, I am thinking that only one person said they did not take the money, so who did? In sentence 2, I am thinking that she said she did not take the money but the emphasis makes me wonder if she is telling the truth.
Literacy: Create an information poster about the planet you have designed. Talk to somebody about the planet; think about the words you use and the tone of voice that you present the information in.
Maths: Practice your 13 X tables! Are there any patterns?

Maths: Prodigy at 11:00 – There is some excellent progress being made!
Reading: How about reading some articles from Newsround today? Make sure you talk about what you have read with family members, particularly if you come across anything you do not understand or that makes you feel nervous.
It would be amazing to hear from you again this week, maybe you could have a go at using the website upload section to send me a photo or ask me a question? Mrs Hodgson and I just love to hear from you!
