You can just write this in note form, summarising the main info from the model text in its correct place on the boxing up grid. This will really help you to secure your understanding of the structure of a report, before we innovate our own. You can either type your notes into the word document in Files, or you can recreate the table on paper.

English – Kidnapped Before starting today’s English work, please ensure you have completed all shared write sections 1 through to 5. There is a video tutorial for each individual section to help guide you through. Editing and redrafting parts using the toolkits
Our flashback tale draws upon two main toolkits:
Using the ‘Variety of Toolkits’ document, which combines ideas from both toolkits, go through each aspect and see which bits are missing from your practice paragraphs. It should be clear to you at this stage which parts of your story are suitable for suspense writing, and which parts are suitable for setting description. Some paragraphs will contain both types of writing!
You don’t need to rewrite whole sections for this bit, just rewrite sentences on a new page and make it clear where abouts it will fit in. You might want to use a coloured pencil or pen and number each new sentence you add, then place that number in your practice paragraph to show where you want it to go.

Today is the day of our geography virtual field trip! We had to postpone this last time due to the weather.
This will be taking place on Teams during your usual afternoon slot. We will be using Google Earth to take part in a guided tour of the Amazon, as part of our geography topic studying North and South America.
For your geography lesson today, you will choose one other area of study from our work on South America and explore some of the landmarks and useful information about the area. Your task is to take part in the online guided tour and then complete a ‘visitor’s guide’ or ‘brochure’ to encourage people to visit. Think about the kind of information and language you will use to make it persuasive!
I will show you how to launch the guided tours in this afternoon’s virtual session. There is also a step by step guide below.
Visit: https://earth.google.com/web/
Click the magnifying glass to search for a location. Enter your location, for example Rio de Janeiro. Select Explore from the Guided Tours section:
From there, you are free to explore!
Here are some ideas for places you could study:

Today we are doing something a bit different.
Firstly, look at the children’s book ‘Five Clever Mice’ in Teams. Today’s challenge is to write your own children’s book using numbers in a similar way.
If you look closely there are lots of grammatical features in it. - Subordinating clauses - Fronted adverbials - Parenthesis - Direct speech - Reporting clauses - Conjunctions
And best of all…. Numbers. Make sure you fit all the above in! There is a comic book strip template for you to use to create the different pages of your book. Make it funny, engaging and use numbers in a really clever way!
It is National Story Telling Week so please record yourself reading your story and send it in via Teams – we’ll be judging the best!

RE As theologians, last week we explored what it means for a Sikh to become part of the Khalsa. We looked at what the Amrit ceremony involves and how a Sikh might behave once they have become an Amritdhari. Today, Ramanjot, a young Sikh, will give us a tour of his Gurdwara, the Sri Guru Singh Sabha in Southall. He will show us the prayer hall, the dining hall and even the Guru Granth Sahib’s bedroom!

Write up

You don’t need to rewrite whole sections, just think about where various parts of the toolkit might fit nicely into your story. One way of doing this for each part of the toolkit could be to:
I recommend that you number each thing you add, and place the same number in your original draft using a coloured pencil, so that you remember to add the extra parts when you do your final write up! |

Take a look over the model text. What language do you spot here used to describe the stormy weather? In what ways has the author described the setting?

Make a magpie section in your Home Learning books- these will come in handy later in the unit.
Bonus Challenge Can you rewrite some of the phrases in your own words? For example, if the text says “The trees were like crazed zombies thrashing wildly”, this is basically telling us that the trees blew around in the wind. You could rewrite this as follows:
