Reading - please keep up with your reading at home. Here are a few activities you can do with the book you are currently reading:
- Character Profile - create a character profile of the main character and include a drawing of them, a description of their characteristics, who else they link to in the story, what they like/dislike and a set of questions you would like to ask them.
- Sentence Hunter - find 5 sentences in your story that contain a relative clause (a clause that starts with 'who, which etc).
- Vocabulary Detective - Find 5 words that you are unfamiliar with. Find out what they mean (using a dictionary or Google), write the definition in your home learning books and then write the word in a sentence of your own (to show you understand how to use it in context).
