Wednesday's work.

Maths: For maths today we are going to be looking at equivalent fractions.  Remember, if you have a secure knowledge of equivalent fractions then so many other areas of fractions become so much easier.

Writing: This week we will be writing a superhero adventure story with the help of authors Greg James and Chris Smith. They have released a video on the National Literacy Trust website telling you how to create the perefct superhero story.

Also, at the bottom of the National Literacy Trust webpage you will find a link which enables you to downlaod an audio version of their book 'Kid Normal', for free!

The link to the webpage is here: https://literacytrust.org.uk/family-zone/9-12/printable-activities-9-12/write-superhero-story-greg-james-and-chris-smith/

Reading: This week’s guided reading will be based around the first chapter of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. J.K Rowling is releasing videos of celebrities (from the wizarding world and beyond) reading the first in the series of Harry Potter books.

Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter) himself reads Chapter One: The Boy Who Lived. You can access the video on the website below. Each week a different celebrity will read the next chapter. I know many of you have already read the series (me included) but it is a joy to hear it read aloud by someone else – and professional actors no less!

If you would like more activities to do at home around Harry Potter then the wizarding world website is full of ideas, including a House Points Competition.

SPaG: Today's game is a simple quiz format. You can print out the answer sheet and mark your answers on it, or, simply write down your answers to each question.
