Hello Squirrels

English

I would like you to look at this picture of the Great Fire of London.

Write a few sentences thinking about these questions. What can you seen in this picture? How does this picture make you feel? What do you think the people in the picture are doing? How do you think the people in the picture are feeling? Remember to write your answer in full sentences and to use punctuation. Can you extend your sentences to say why you think the people would feel a particular way? You could use my favourite word - because.

Maths

Today I would like you to have a think about how we measure liquids.

Have a look at a drinks bottle/carton. Can you spot where it says ml or l?

When we measure liquids we use millilitres (ml) and litres (l) . 1000 ml is the same as 1l.

Have a look in your cupboards and bottles containing liquids. Can you find out how much liquid each bottle holds?

Science

This is an artists picture of Pudding Lane.

What do you think of the street and houses?

Can you draw a picture of Pudding Lane? Then have a think about what the houses are made from. Do you think that the materials the houses are made from would have helped the fire spread? Why? How about the way the street is set out? Is there space between the houses? Would this have helped how the fire spread?

This is the Tower of London.

Why did it not burn down in the Great Fire of London? What is it made from?

Sound of the week.

You could have a game of hangman using words containing the ‘oo’ sound. Who will get the most points in your family?
