Monday 30 th November

Your challenge: Who can remember what you are working towards over the next few weeks?

Your challenge: That’s right! We are going to create our own survival guide which we will display in Danube class. We are using the ‘Surviving in the Amazon’ as our WAGOLL (What A Good One Looks Like)

Why do you think I chose this as a WAGOLL? What is good about it? Write a list of all the positives that you can think of.

Let’s share some positives…

But the problem is… It looks a bit boring!

How could you improve the ‘Surviving in the Amazon’ text? What would make it more interesting? What would make children visiting our class want to read them? Write a list of your ideas.

Let’s have a look at some other survival texts to give us some more ideas.

What useful features does this text have?

Let’s bring all our ideas together. Our Survival Guide should…

Writing – Have another read of this text

“Forget fruit and veg. Their favourite meals are…each other!” “So if you don’t want to end up as elevenses, how on Earth do you do it? ” “…let’s hope you’ve got plenty of colours in your paint box because you’re going to need them!” What do you notice? We are going to use the chatty and humorous style of this text when we write our guide.

Let’s have a look at some boring facts… Fire keeps you warm. Fire keeps away predators. You can use it to cook. You can use matches you found but this is not likely. You could rub sticks together. How could we improve them to make them more entertaining?

Now it is your turn. Take these boring facts and make them more interesting… Find water. Dense masses of insects often indicate a nearby water source. Bees usually build their hives within a couple of miles of a body of water, and flies typically stay within 300 feet of water. Whenever possible, boil the water you find, filter it or add purification tablets to it. Challenge: Can you think of any other survival facts that you could improve?

Now it is your turn. Take these boring facts and make them more interesting… Leave a trail. As you're hiking through the jungle, make markers from torn clothing or any brightly coloured or reflective objects you can find. Don’t create a trail from anything edible, as animals will eat it. Don’t head in a straight line, either. Constantly look ahead for gaps in the rain forest and conserve your energy by making slow and steady progress. Use a long branch as a walking stick and to clear foliage from your path. Avoid grabbing vines or plants while making your way up slopes, as many rain forest plants have thorns and emit irritants.

Maths –Dividing by 100 To divide by 100 we move each digit two places to the right. How can we use this to help us divide by 100?

Try this for yourself. For each question draw the place value headings, move each digit one to divide by 10 then move it again to divide by 100. 1. 5670 ÷ 100 = 2. 8220 ÷ 100 = 3. 9720 ÷ 100 = Challenge: 732 ÷ 100 = 918 ÷ 100 =
