Good morning Discoverers, 

How was your weekend? Great I hope!

This week in English, we will continue to focus on our new book: Rain Before Rainbows. 

Today, I would like you to watch the video again, and try to notice any change which happens throughout. For example: the weather, the time, the place etc. 

Your task is to then discuss this question with an adult: is change a good thing? 

Try to explain your answer using examples, whether you decided to choose that it is a good thing, it is not a good thing, or that you believe it’s both. 

You do not need to write anything down, unless of course you would prefer this. This important part of your task is the discussion that you have. 

 

Here is my answer for Friday’s question. How did you do?

This week, we are going to learn about time. 

Today, I would like you to convert seconds into minutes and seconds. 

To do this, you need to divide the amount of seconds by 60, because there are 60 seconds in a minute, and then if you have any left over, these will be the remaining seconds. 

We are going to continue learning science this week, but we will be focusing on the weather, as this is a key theme throughout Rain Before Rainbows. 

There has been a lot of cloud recently, and today I would like you to use this cloud wheel, to help you name the different types of clouds. 

You can print it out, or make your own. 

Throughout the week, see if you can match the wheel to the clouds in the sky, and make a note of the clouds that you see. 

 

For once, lets hope there are clouds for us to identify,

 

Mrs Taylor
