Home Learning

Literacy
  • Blogging
  • Read a newspaper.
    • Think about how it is written
    • What are the features of a newspaper?
    • What sort of language do they use? Formal/informal?
  • Charity
    • We talked about Kony 2012 this week. Its a great cause but a dubious charity. 
    • If you had to pick a charity to support what would it be?
      • How would you persuade people to follow your charity, what would you say?
    • Challenge:
      • Pick a charity
      • Convince two people you know that yours is the best cause to follow.
Maths
  • Percentages
  • Past Papers
    • The recent past papers will be going home soon (we are going to go through it in class)
    • Show two people how you got on with your test. 
      • (You all be very proud because you did very well)
Topic
  • Brundall Travel -  We are going to be creating a travel guide to a country
    • Challenge 1 - Pick any country in the world. (Maybe blog about why you chose it)
    • Challenge 2 - Try and find three artists from this country (we will be using these in art over the next week or so)
    • e.g. - My choice is: 
    • Challenge 1: 
        • England (I'm boring but you are going to be much more imaginative)
    • Challenge 2
        • Artist 1 - L.S. Lowry - Link
        • Artist 2 - Banksy - Link
        • Artist 3 - The people who did this - Link
Dragons' Den
  • As we discussed in class, you need to be using your own time now to organise your businesses. 
  • Gold n Glory - You might want to have a look at last weeks Apprentice but ONLY if your parents think it is OK. (I know most of you watched it anyway when you should be in bed!)
  • The amount of money we make dictates how good our trip is at the end of term.
Question
  • Quadblogging?
    • Do you want to get involved with this? It looks pretty cool. 
    • Have a look at the world map. We could get all those people looking at our blogs.
