Dairy

The ups and downs of lockdown

Writing: This week have a go at writing a journal in the style of a daily diary.  Each day you should write about what you did, any special memories, things that made you laugh, smile, or things you want to remember when you look back and read your diary in the future.  Try to make sure days and months are spelt correctly.

Reading:  Check your tasks in Giglets and submit at least one Reading Test and one HOTs assignment to me please!

Oracy: Using debate.  Try to have a debate with a member of your family on the question of Should school children wear school uniform?

First draw up a list of reasons why children should and then a list of reasons why they shouldn’t have to wear school uniform.  Then decide which view you support most strongly.  Ask a member of your family for their view, ask them questions, listen to what they say and challenge them with opposing views.  You can debate a subject without having a row by being polite, using a calm tone of voice and asking them to give you examples to support their view.
