Reading - Book Review: Macbeth

Choose the version of the story that you preferred:

If you need help you can remind yourself with your booklet from Monday's lesson, the key features list at the bottom of the page or the video clip we used earlier in the week.

Maths -

Prodigy

Today I would like all children to access prodigy, please email me if you need your login details.

The questions will change each week to closely match what you have been asked to do in your learning this week. 

So today login, as I can see who has accessed the site each day. Have a go at a few questions. I

I can track these answers, using the website, I will be able to see how well you have done. Don't worry, after a few questions the game will go back to asking you a little bit of everything, until next time I make it ask specific questions. 

Foundation - Geography: Ocean Biomes.

Ocean biomes refer to all areas under the 5 main oceans of the world - they are areas of saline (salt water).

This biome - like the rainforest - is split into vertical layers, but this time by the amount of sunlight and depth. 

Today you will need to know this vocabulary:

• Plankton - food made by photosynthesis
• Photosynthesis - process of plants making energy and growing using sunlight. 

Use the video here and the information below to make a detailed diagram of the ocean's layers. Refer to features such as the amount of sunlight it receives, the depth of the water in this layer and the animals that call this layer their home.

Also can you name all the oceans of the world?
