Good morning, Mercury!

I hope you are well and enjoying the routine of our class work.

Please see, below, our remote learning tasks for today.

I am in school today, so please note I may not be able to respond quickly to emails.

English

Enjoy the latest chapter of Charlotte’s Web at: https://salesbury.primarysite.media/playlist/mercury-class and on facebook at 9am

Y3/4/Table 2

• Read and enjoy ‘The Chocolate Room’ Section 15 from Charlie and The Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl at https://archive.org/stream/CharlieAndTheChocolateFactory/Charlie%20and%20the%20Chocolate%20Factory_djvu.txt  Alternatively, if you have the book, turn to the chapter – The Chocolate Room.
• Now, watch the clip at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMFQtY6655E  (Note: PG certificate)
• Imagine that you are there and write a descriptive paragraph of what you can see.
• Use your senses to help you: What can you see? What can you hear? What can you smell? What can you touch? What can you taste?
• Think about including:

• Precise nouns, e.g. tulips instead of flowers.
• Expanded noun phrases, e.g. Mr Wonka turned the key in the small wooden door that lay in front of us.
• How it makes you feel, e.g. I stopped and stared in awe.

• Read your passage back through out loud and edit any spelling or punctuation.

Please don’t worry and just do your best.

Other Activities

Other activities you may choose to do today, could be:

• RE: Use the internet to find the most beautiful church you can find. Write around the building adjectives to describe what you can see!
• Develop your art skills with Rob and post to our facebook page: http://www.robbiddulph.com/draw-with-rob
• Develop your online safety learning with the Computing activity below.
• Print out the letterhead below and write a welcome letter to children starting at our Nursery (T-Rex) in September. Write a ‘Hello!’ at the start and sign off with your own name. You may wish to include: how welcome they will feel; how good our nursery/school is; what fun activities they will be doing; out of school activities they might do;  what the staff are like and how you look forward to seeing them. Please write on the paper and then scan and email it to me. Keep it really, really neat!
