challenge 1

Write a diary entry for the trip to Pulborough Brooks you went on this week. Remember to include

Expanded Noun Phrases
A range of co-ordinating and subordinating conjunctions
Different sentence starters

Challenge 2

Research an endangered animal and write a fact file about them. For example, what they look like, where they live, what they eat, how they camouflage themselves and the reason why they are endangered.

The WWF website is a really useful place to start.

https://www.worldwildlife.org/species/directory?direction=desc&sort=extinction_status

Remember to add a picture of your animal, this could be a snipped photo or a drawing of your own

Bring your completed fact file into school to share with your class once you have completed it.

Challenge 3

Poetry Review

Find three poems about animals, write them out in your homework book then review the features of your favourite one.

Give reasons as to why the way it is presented and the language used makes it your favourite when compared to the other two.

Perhaps you could consider the Expanded Noun Phrases used, use of figurative language such as similes, metaphors, alliteration, repetition or rhyme. You may even like the way the poem has been presented with each stanza having the same amount of lines or maybe you prefer poems where the line lengths and verses are all different which creates a completely different effect when the reader reads it out loud.

Remember to bring you favourite poem in to share with the class when you have finished reviewing it.

challenge 4

In DT we have been following recipes to create different dishes. Your task this week is to write your own recipe for a simple cake or stir-fry. What special ingredients could you add to adapt it and what DT skills will you be using to create it.

Remember to write out the list of ingredients followed by step-by-step instructions with all the DT skills the baker will need to apply included.

Perhaps you could take a photo of yourself eating your creation and evaluate how it looked and tasted.

Challenge 5

This week we would like you to write a short biography about someone you admire. Remember to use subheadings for each of the sections such as - Family life, Early Career, Achievements. You may also want to include a photo of the person and some fun facts. Just like the biographies we looked at in Guided Reading.

When you have finished your biography, bring it in to school to share with your class.

Challenge 6

Write a news report about an incident that you witnessed recently. It could be an event that happened at home, at the park or a school.

Make sure you include fronted adverbials of time and cause.
