Welcome to the Summer Term!! Who would have though that we’d be starting it like this?!

I hope you had a lovely Easter, ate far too much chocolate, saw fluffy bunnies jumping around in hedges, stroked curly little lambs, quacked at small ducks and generally had a happy, healthy time. I am fine but am missing being amongst 30 children instead of just a few slightly grumpy teenagers/young adults (bit unfair of me really - my own children have actually been very good company and we are improving our baking skills on a daily basis! My lovely Ted is still stuck in Spain, which is a bit horrible for me, but we do speak to him twice a day so, every cloud has a silver lining!). I’ve done lots of gardening, have tidied the basement (that was a tough job), cleaned all the skirting boards, sorted out Arthur’s pants and socks drawers (so many socks!!!), totally rearranged my kitchen cupboards (HUGE job - who knew that I would have 63 bowls?!) but… I still miss you lot!

Anyway, here is today’s exciting work!

Maths:

Create your own pie chart showing something about you/ your house/ your family, Remember that it REALLY helps if your TOTAL is a factor of 360. Bonus point - explain why this helps! You should already have a protractor and compass as you needed them before Easter. You cannot do this work properly without this equipment.

English:

Recap on The Watertower so far.

Reread the slides of the book that I added before Easter. Think about the relationship between Bubba and Spike. Also, go back to check those three headlines you came up with before Easter. Remember, you will need those later.

Now, write down a prediction for what might happen next in the book. I would like at least half a page of writing, not simply one sentence! Use your best English and allow yourselves time to edit and proof read. If you can, ask someone older than you at home to check your work as you know you are definitely NOT allowed to keep using capitals incorrectly... plus comma splicing has been A CRIME since last September!!
