We like to hear from everyone at least once a week.

English (45 minutes)
As part of our 'Around the World in 80 days' topic we are also looking at countries beyond the UK. The next few lessons are about somebody who didn't live in the UK!
Look at the photograph below
“He’s a man who lived a long time ago and he is famous for something ….”
On a piece of paper, make some notes on the following:
I notice … (what can you see in the picture?)
I think …. (what do you think about the person, e.g. he is young/old?)
I wonder … (What questions would you like to have answered about him?)
And then Sources … (How can we find out more about the man?).
Make sure that you keep the piece of paper with your notes on safe as you will need to use them for the next few English lessons. Watch the video below for some help from Mrs Darroch with this lesson!
Challenge! This is a photograph – previously we have worked from images of paintings (Mary Seacole, Guy Fawkes). What do you notice as being the same or different? Do you think the main photo is from as long ago as the other two? Explain your reasoning.
Maths (45 minutes)
