Thursday 23 April 2020

Hello

How did you get on yesterday?

Today, your tasks are reading, maths and writing/spelling.

Task 1

Reading

LO:  I understand what I have read.

You will need this week’s fluency text in front of you. There are 4 questions to answer.

Helicopter Sightseeing Tour Of London - Experience DaysWelcome aboard this tour of London, the capital city of England. Below us,  over eight million people  are living and working in one of the most exciting cities in the world.  The famous River Thames flows through the city and it is full of slimy eels and oysters. Would you like to try some? Beside the Thames, you can see the tower of London, where the crown jewels are kept, and over in the distance is Buckingham Palace, where the Queen and the rest of the royal family live. Underneath the ground, in London, is a railway network known as the ‘tube’. What a fantastic city this this!

Task 2
