Literacy

We will be continuing our work on recounts this week, but this time we will be looking at diaries as recounts. Choose somebody you know or a famous person and write a diary entry pretending to be them. Remember to use the 5Ws and adjectives and adverbs to make your diary entry interesting 

Topic- to be done on the blog

The Mayans were famous for being one of the first civilisations with written symbols for language. What do you think this might mean?

 

Science

This week in Science we will be looking at how irreversible changes happen to some materials. For example, when you crack an egg and cook it using a frying pan, you cannot change the egg back to how it was before. Can you find your own examples to explain irreversible changes in materials? Explain what has happened to the material and why you can’t change it back.
