Maths

Here is part of the conversation between a group of children as they discuss a tall tree nearby:

"I wonder how tall it is?" says Linus.

"I think we could find out," replies Raj.

"It could be difficult as it's very high," says Toby.

I wonder how they each went about finding out the height of the tree?

I wonder how YOU would find out how tall a large tree in your surroundings is?

Literacy

Imagine that you are working as a news reporter. You receive an urgent phone call asking you to fly over to Brazil to gather information about the Amazon Rainforest. You discover that many people and animals are being affected by something called 'deforestation'.

Write a report that includes the following:

1. Information about the Amazon Rainforest

2. A definition of deforestation and how this is harming the Amazon Rainforest and its people

3. What can be done to minimise damage.

Religious Education

In his letter to primary schools in the Shrewsbury Diocese, Bishop Mark challenges us to take care of our world through the choices we make in our homes, school, parish and local community. Below, you will find a link to this letter.

The RE homework challenge for this half term is to take a photo of something you are doing as a family to look after our common home. Examples may include recycling materials correctly, reducing food waste, not wasting water, switching the lights off and thinking about the way you travel to school to name a few.

Please could photos be emailed to the school office before the end of the school year - we look forward to seeing what you have been up to!
