And We're Back...

Hi everyone! It's been a while, but we're back with some great new resources to help us through the second term. In literacy, we continue to learn about word classes. Check out these Schoolhouse Rock songs about adjectives and verbs! For more work on story-writing, BBC's Story Plant lets you "grow" your own story.

For numeracy, here is a game on finding coordinates. See if you can click the right squares and uncover the hidden ship. We've also been learning about compass directions, angles and turns. Try out these games to test your skills (To use these two links, make sure to first click on the blue box that says "Instant Evaluation".):

• Angles and turns
• Compass game

Think you know which materials are waterproof, bendy or transparent? Test yourself with this BBC science activity about characteristics of materials.

Finally, if you haven't already visited this fantastic history website, click this link to learn all about the Celts as we continue to learn about the Roman invasion.
