World Book Day: Card on your face game

This is a game we absolutely love. Can you choose one of the characters/authors for your parents to guess with just yes or no questions? Try and choose really hard ones and make them guess!

World Book Day: Creating a character backstory 

This task would be really useful for the stories that you are going to be writing in the next few weeks. It is all about creating your own character with their own backstory.

  • Who are they?
  • Where do they come from?
  • Do they have specials powers?
  • What makes them unique?

Make sure your poster is colourful.

Good Luck!

I have set up a TTRockstars battle to happen between 11:00-12:30. Who will be victorious? The boys or the girls?

I will post updates on teams.

History: What was the industrial Revolution? 

This afternoon, we will be looking at what the Industrial Revolution was and how it completely transformed the landscape of Great Britain.

Task

Like I said on the video, drawing a table and splitting your page in half for task 2 is probably the best and neatest way. If not, you will find the sheet under.

  1. Complete the before and after table.

  2. Draw two illustrations before and after the Industrial Revolution
