Reading

Read Chapter 1 and 2 of A Sheep Dip to India. William misses his Grandma and when his parents say he can't go on the trip to India she has planned for him, he's incredibly upset. But is there a magical way he can get there? Test your understanding by completing the Quiz for each chapter. This is also set as a 2Do on Purple Mash.  

 

English

Begin by listening to Chapters 12, 13 and 14 of Krindlekrax. You can access the video here. What has happened in the story so far? Today we would like you to make a prediction about the narrative. Answer these questions:

• What sort of story might this be?
• What do they think Corky is going to tell Ruskin?
• What is Krindlekrax and why will this creature be important?
• How might Ruskin overcome his problems?

RE

This term we are going to meet Taryn and her family, who are Humanists. We are going to find out about how being a Humanist affects their decisions and choices in life. We will try and answer the Big Question: ‘What is Humanism?’

 

Today’s learning question is ‘What do Humanists value?’. Use the resource sheet below to find out what is important to Humanists. Then design a building that represents things that Humanists value. Watch this video to help explain Humanism and to take you through today’s learning.
