Hello Squirrels

English

Today I would like you to write a diary entry like Samuel Pepys. I would like you to imagine that you are living in London in 1666. There is a huge fire which started in Pudding Lane. It is spreading through the city and burning don lots of buildings. You can start your diary entry with ‘Dear Diary’. Explain what is happening in the city and how you feel about. What are you going to do? How can you escape from the fire?

Remember your punctuation and finger spaces.

Maths

Today we are going to carry on with measuring liquids. Choose 5 different sized containers and fill them with water.

This is one of my containers. I have filled it to the very top as I want to know how much strawberry juice it will hold.

Once I have filled it to the top, I’m going to carefully pour it into a measuring jug (I don’t have a jug so I’m using a measuring cylinder).

Then I’m going to look carefully at the numbers to see how much strawberry juice my container holds.

My container holds 900ml.

I wonder how much water your containers hold.


History

Today I would like you to make a time line about the Great Fire of London.

Look at these facts. Can you put them in the right order? Write numbers down the side to show which order they go in.
