Today we are continuing our journey ‘Around the World in 80 Days’.
For your English task today, you get to choose where your travels take you next and we would like you to write a postcard from there. Again, we would like you to think about what the weather would be like, where you might be sleeping, what you might be eating and something that you have done when you are there. Are there any cultures that you might have experienced, festivals or celebrations that you may have been part of?
If you can’t think of anywhere to go, we highly recommend that you head to South America and visit the Amazon Rainforest.
Have a look at what the Go Jetters saw when they were there:
BBC iPlayer - Go Jetters - Series 1: 19. Amazon Rainforest, South America
Please see Mrs Darroch’s example from yesterday to give you an idea of what we would like to see in your writing.
Emerging - Make sure that you have capital letters, full stops and finger spaces in your writing please. Read back over what you have written to make sure it makes sense.
Expected – As Emerging, but how can you make your writing more exciting? Think about what adjectives you could use to describe the things that you are writing about.
Exceeding – As Emerging and Expected, but we would like to think about the tenses used in your writing. If you are describing something that has already happened, it needs to be written in the past tense. If you are writing something that is happening now, you will need to write in the present tense. Finally, if you are writing about something that hasn’t happened yet, you will need to write in the future tense.

Topic – Time to Talk Day and Celebrating Captain Tom Moore.
Today is National Time to Talk Day.
What is Time to Talk Day 2021?
Time to Talk Day is taking place this year on February 4th. Its aim is to get people to choose to talk about mental health and by doing so help change lives.
It’s a chance for all of us to open up to mental health — to talk, to listen, to change lives. This year's theme is 'the Power of Small' because a small conversation about mental health has the power to make a big difference.
Mental Health affects one in four of us and is a very serious issue that needs to be spoken about more often. It's a common problem, yet is still an isolated one, and people can start to feel ashamed or worthless because of it.
Time to Talk Day is on a mission to change this and encourage every single person to be more open about the topic of mental health. Talk; listen; change lives.
Have a go at completing the document below over the next few days. It’s a great way to think about how you are feeling and to help you realise all the fabulous things you are good at!
Goodbye Captain Tom Moore
As you may have heard, Captain Tom Moore has sadly died this week. He achieved so many great things in his life and we wou ld like to find out more about him so we can celebrate his achievements in our Celebration Live this afternoon at 2pm.
Please look through the documents below with a grown up and talk about the questions asked.
Once you have done this we would love it if you could colour in one of the pictures below and send it to us on Tapestry so we can create a Captain Tom Moore Tribute slideshow.
Bring your pictures to the Celebration Live at 2pm to share with your friends!
