Here is the work which we have covered in school on Monday and Tuesday.
We are reading a really good new book called Floodland by Marcus Sedgwick. It is about a world where the water level has risen and Norwich is almost totally underwater. The main character is called Zoe and she has a real adventure…. Below is the opening of the book. Please read up to page 23 with an adult if you can.
Alternatively, you can listen to the author reading his book here.
Below is the PowerPoint which we looked at on Monday. The writing task is to draw a picture of Zoe in her boat and write sentences about how Zoe felt as she paddled in the sea. The challenges on how to make your writing better and better are on the final slide.
If you are ready for more, here are the comprehension questions which we answered today. If we are in Years 3 or 4, we had an adult read us the book whilst we listened carefully to pick out the answers to the questions….

Place value, place value, place value. Ahhh place value, it must be September!
So, we need to understand what the digits (0 – 9) mean in each column. So, for example, 519 is 5 hundreds, 1 ten and 9 units.
We can represent numbers in different ways. Have a look at this:
Your job is to choose numbers from the word file sheet and represent them in different ways, like in the picture above.
Don’t forget to practise your number club too – the sheets are here
In the afternoon, we have started learning about our new theme which is ‘There’s No Place Like Home’. Watch Miss Beresford’s brilliant powerpoint for more information.
I can’t wait to see how you get on with the topics here, although it will be even better when you are back in class with all of your friends and teachers. 🙂
