Writing and Reading

This week we are going to be investigating Stone Henge. We will be combining reading and writing today.

Have a look at the Stonehenge Website to investigate Stone Henge at https://www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/places/stonehenge/history-and-stories/ . Read up on the history of Stone Henge, look at the plans and what it is believed it has been used for. Make notes as you go along. Remember from our note-taking lessons before – you choose the most important points and DO NOT just copy down all you read.

Reading

This week we have a reading comprehension based on Stone Henge. It is posted today but you have the week to read and complete it, the answers will go up on Friday so you can see how you have done.

Maths

This week we are focusing on addition and subtraction! In particular, we will be practising using column written method.

Today, we are focusing on Addition! Please have a look at the Maths input first, before having a go at the tasks.

Choose your level of challenge when deciding on which worksheet (below) to do.

Extension- Can you create your own calculations for someone at home to solve, make sure you are ready to check their answers! Good Luck!

Topic

Following your amazing successes last week (thank you SO much for those people who showed us what you have been doing, it was so lovely to see) I have another challenge for you.

This week I want you to find out about the Iron Age. The Iron Age is the last time period we will be looking at. The Iron Age people are also referred to as the Celts. To help you find out about the Iron Age I have given you the links below but these are only a starting point. There is much more you can find out. Please choose a different way to present your findings to your Bronze Age findings. It would be boring to do the same thing each time so challenge yourself to do something new :) This is another project that we expect to take you longer than a day. It will be for Monday and Tuesday but do feel free to take longer over it if you need to.
