Writing:
This week, we will be looking at writing a balanced argument. Have a look at the attached powerpoint that shows a balanced argument all about whether homework should be allowed. Using all the things you learn from the powerpoint, complete the planning sheet to plan your own argument about:
‘Should children be allowed phones in school’.
Think carefully about which arguments are FOR and which are AGAINST.
Once you have planned, have a go at writing your balanced argument, using your planning sheet to help you.

Science
Last week, we began to look into the work of Charles Darwin, as part of our Evolution and Adaptation topic. Please research Charles Darwin.
Find out about:
- His early life
- His main acomplishments
- His legacy/importance today
Here are some places to help you research:

Once you have researched, I wonder if you can turn your research into a biography.
A biography is a piece of text that describes the life of somebody else. I have attached an example, as well as a planning sheet, to help you.

PE
Here is the song we have been using for our dance in PE. Have a go at practicing the dance to see what you can remember (if you are feeling up to it!) If you like, see if you can make up some more of the dance.
If you have any questions (or would like some more to do!!) then please let me know!
I really hope to see you all soon!
