Read MoreThursday Challenge: 2nd July
Published 01/07/20, by Charlie MackinnonRank these events from least to most naughty to create a naughtyometer!
Use the following questions to help you make up your mind.
Not doing any homework for a whole week
Is school like a job? Are there more excuses for not doing homework than schoolwork? What counts as a good excuse? Could there be good reasons for not doing any work?
Stealing from the school canteen / Stealing someone's lunch
Is stealing always wrong? Is it worse to steal from a person or an organisation? Who are you stealing from if you steal from a school?
Calling another pupil a bad name - Calling a teacher a bad name
Is calling someone names worse than hitting someone? Would a child feel worse than a teacher? Would you get punished worse for insulting a teacher than a child? Should you?
Hitting someone / Seeing someone hitting someone, and doing nothing about it / Hitting someone back
Can two wrongs make a right? Can you do something to someone that’s done it to you without it being bad?
Is watching someone get hit worse than watching someone fall over?

Create your own labelled diagram of a plant including the following:
Roots – Anchor the plant into the ground and they absorb water and minerals from the soil.
Stem – Holds the plant upright and transports nutrients, minerals and water between the roots, leaves and flowers.
Leaf – Uses the sunlight’s energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into food for the plant (photosynthesis)
Flower – The reproductive organs of the plant are in the flower. The flowers are colourful and often fragrant to attract pollinators.
Bud – Protects the developing leaves and flowers.
