Stay connected with Chestnut Class during lockdown with this new class blog!
We have been writing letters from the main character in the book Journey. We have written in the first person to our family, explaining why we used the magic pen to escape from our feelings at home. Albert managed to create a very vivid picture of part of the girl's journey.
Chloe, we love the way you used your experience of Lockdown to create this poem.
Adeline, we love the way you used your experience of Lockdown to create this poem.
Olivia, we love the way that you have used your experiences of Lockdown to create this poem.
We would like to say a massive thank you to all the children who completed and sent in daily challenge work.
To keep you busy and get you ready for Year 5, we have put together some Reading, Maths and Summer Fun challenges.
Olivia, we love the additional characters that you have created for Varjak Paw.
Consider and discuss this philosophical question:
Could a robot replace a:
teacher
police officer
fire fighter
parent
brother/sister
farmer
pilot
judge
librarian
factory worker
Why? Why not?
Thanks for sharing this wonderful writing Adeline.
Learn to Tie Knots
1. Square Lashing
This is useful for attaching sticks together to make mobiles, swords, frames, stars and so on.
2. Clove Hitch
Use this knot to attach a rope to a fixed post to make a washing line or similar. Use this knot to start a square lashing or simply to attach some string to a stick for mobiles, story sticks, fishing rods and so on.
3. Reef Knot
This knot is for tying two ends of a line together and it holds tight for example to give you a longer length of rope.
