The Car that Passes...
Here is the question I would like you to work on:
What can you say about the cars that pass your house on Saturday morning at 11am?
What will you have to do over the next few Saturday mornings to make a statement that is very likely to be true?
I would love to hear about what you did.
What statement/s did you make?
What information did you collect in order to make those statements?
How did you find out whether the statements were true?
Literacy

Religious Education
Create your own Advent Calendar using materials that you already have at home. Each day, you could include something that you will do to prepare for Jesus' birthday.
For example, 3rd December (say a prayer before I go to bed); 4th December, (tidy my room); 5th December (with the help of my parent/guardian, light a candle) etc.
I have provided a brief slideshow of Advent Calendars below for anyone who would like a few ideas.
Science
The homework challenge for this half term links with our focus on the process of mummification used by the Ancient Egyptians. However, instead of using a dead body, we will just use a tomato! Watch the following clip for details:
