Project for Thursday 10th April

To complete your game/story using Scratch. It would be best to have them finished before that Thursday, so we can all play them in our ICT lessons.

Homework for weekend

To write another newspaper report:

Look at all the information about what you need to include. Look at the last one you did, and think about how you could improve it. Your report can be about one of these:

- your favourite holiday

- new planet discovery that humans can live on

- after a natural disaster

- opening of a new zoo

Also look at the symmetry games posted this week. 

Homework Wednesday and Thursday- to write a newspaper report

I suggest you plan it tonight and write it up tomorrow. It can be about a discovery you found at school/home. A record being broken by someone. You could even write it about your invention.

Weekend- all the videos we have seen are excellent, so no homework this weekend as I think you all put a lot of effort into them. Just learn your spellings for Monday!

ICT

In ICT we will start to learn about computer programming. If you have time check out this website:

http://scratch.mit.edu/

Once you have created an account go onto the create. You can create a character, or use one of the saved ones. 

Look at the list of commands and drag them into the right hand screen. Click on them and your character will perform that command. You can do lots with this so check out all the different headngs. Click Tips at the top to give you extra help.  

Enjoy!!
