Reading ICT Task - Term 4 Week 4 Heya Kids,

This week I would like you to watch a clip from BTN about the Commonwealth. After that (it goes for less than 5 minutes) you need to answer some questions to see how much of the news story you remember. You can work by yourself or in a team...up to you. Remember to include long answers that show all your understandings. Once you have stuck your work into your ENGLISH book you can have free choice as long as it is learning. This could include - * Working on your wiki (reflecting on your learning ) * Playing an educational game that is linked on here * choosing from the tabs at the top (ENGLISH ONLY please)

Good luck and have fun.

Miss Y :)

This week we are focusing on SUMMARISING. I have 2 sites for you to visit ...

1. [|http://www.bbc.co.uk/skillswise/ words/reading/summarising/ index.shtml -] play the games to practice your summarising skills

2. [|http://reading.ecb.org/-] choose the kids/students section and the part on summarising first. After that you can practice all of the other John Munro reading strategies we have worked so hard on this term.

I hope you like them



Reading ICT Task - Term 3 Week 6 This week you will be watching the final parts of Jamie Oliver's 'Food Revolution' Click on the link below and look for parts 5/6 & 6/6. []

The follow up activity is to -  *** Write 5 questions that are answered in the video.  Think of the 5Ws and How to write your questions. Don't make them too easy - you want them to be tricky and show off your understandings. Please write these questions in your English Book. I know there have been a million problems but hopefully things will run smoothly this week. If it gets too painful do the follow up based on what you have already seen. Then you can choose some games from Writer's Workshop. Fingers crossed :)
