Writing
This week you will write a paragraph about a famous person. Look at the pictures below and select one of these people to write about. Your paragraph will be about five sentences long. Use this structure to write your paragraph.
You may include more sentences to extend your ideas or to elaborate on an interesting point.
You will need to read a little bit to find out some interesting information about the person.
Remember to write sentences with correct punctuation and to check your spelling before you post your work to the class blog.
Hint: Use the "search by image" function in Google to find out who each person is before you make your selection.

Reading
Your task is to read material related to your Genius Hour Project. You might read it in a book or find it in a Google search. When you have done your reading leave a comment on your teacher's post about Genius Hour.
MAthematics
Your teacher has set you some videos and an interactive activity on Studyladder to help you learn how to subtract amounts from 1000. These videos will help you to learn how to calculate change owed.
Spelling
This week you are looking at spelling words ending in 'tion'. We have looked at words with this spelling pattern before, but make sure you take the time to watch the video to refresh your memory.
Science
Remember we will be completing a science experiment in the next couple of weeks. To prepare for it each person needs to bring in a few nuts/bolts and or screws and a clean glass jar with a lid. You need to put your nuts/bolts in a ziplock bag clearly marked with your name. You also need to write your name in permanent marker on the bottom of your jar.
