LITERACY
In class last week we looked at Alfred Noyes' poem The Higwayman  (remember?) We need to continue to work on our figurative language, so no science this week...sorry! Print this off at school if you need to.

Homelearning Wk8

Hello all. Welcome back to a new week! Its a busy week as we get ready for the GMS family fiesta. Notices about cupcakes went home on Friday. A big thanks to Ittai, who noticed links that weren't working straight away last Monday. Any emails you send go to my phone, so I was able to deal with it there and then.

Here are this week's links

Science
This weeks Reading/Science work requires you to read and problem solve. The images are of leaves from five different types of beech tree. A key needs to be used to identify which type of beech tree each leaf comes from. Good luck.

There were a few "issues" around the images on the .doc last week. Don't forget there are MANY ways to skin a cat and you should all be able to problem solve it out if it happens for you again. Printing it off  'old-school' style is always do-able. There shouldn't be any excuses...

We are well into the term now. Hopefully althetics will be on tomorrow, however I wouldn't hold your breath.  Don't forget that tomorrow we have a visiting drama group presenting a play, strangely called Rap-punzel...sounds good. $3 per person.

Here's this weeks homelearning. A lot of the maths buddy work was not completed, so i will re-post it and we can work out what the problem was.
