Tooth Decay

-      Literacy (20mins): In science we have been looking at how teeth decay. This week we would like you to write an explanation of how teeth decay and how to look after them.

A good website for help is the Children’s University of Manchester.

 

Try to include the features of an explanation text:

o   Present tense

o   Paragraphs

o   Time adverbials eg. next, after, finally

o   Cause and effect conjunctions and adverbials eg. if, so, because, however

Games

In ICT we will be designing our own educational games using a programme called Scratch. This week we want you to think about any games that you already play for example on mathletics.

Write about your favourite games:

·         What are they?

·         Why do you enjoy playing them?

·         What do you learn from them?

·         Do you have any ideas for your own educational game?  

Digestion

Over the next few weeks we will be writing non-chronological reports about the digestive system which is our science topic. For your homework please research the organs of the digestive system and the journey food takes through our bodies.

During your research take notes and then turn these into sentences in your own words.
