Bike

On Tuesday’s walk, we did some bike riding instead. I’m doing well at pedalling and looking where I’m going. I need to work on starting because I have both feet on at the moment.

English

I wrote a letter to my brother, Oliver. The letter describes my pretend adventure in India. I included photos, a metaphor, descriptions of what I saw, and used specific nouns and adjectives.

The first page of my letter, including a description of a city called Mohenjo-daro and a picture of Indus writing.

Science

First, I sketched the house and labelled the different materials. Next, I filled in a table about whether the materials are waterproof or porous. Then, I explained why each material is important, and coloured in the materials green and the properties in orange.

The worksheets showing my sketch of the house, the table of results and the explanations of why each material is used.

Finally, I looked at some different house designs on the computer and then made my own house design.
