Time to think: Do something that makes you happy today.
Literacy
Please practise list 32 spellings today. I have attached 2 different worksheets for each stage similar to the ones we used to put in your yellow spelling book. These are below and also in Google Classroom.
Read your book for 20 minutes. Ask a grown up to think of 3 questions and write down the answers using words from the text to support your answer.
Example
The Robot and the Bluebird by David Lucas.
There once was a Robot with a broken heart.
They did their best to fix him, but it wasn’t any good.
So he was sent to sit on the scrapheap, with all the other old machines. He tried talking to them – he said, “My heart was broken, you know,” but they didn’t answer.
So he lay down and looked up at the sky. He lay there through the long, dark nights and the empty days.
1. How do you think the Robot feels?
I think he feels sad because it says his heart was broken
2. Did the other Robots talk to him?
No because it says when he tried talking to them they didn’t answer.

Topic
We are going to start finding out about the rainforest over the next few weeks and will be comparing Daintree Rainforest in Australia with Manchester. To start this, I would like you to find out where in the world rainforests are. I have attached a map of the world below. On the map there are sections showing you where rainforests are on different continents. If you can't print it, please write the names of the countries down after finding them. Use an atlas, world map or Google Maps / Earth to find out the name of the country where they are located. Can you find out the name of any of these rainforests?

Your task today is to think about the similarities and differences between the two books. Think about both the words and the pictures.
