Hindu God Mini Project:
The project will be due next Tuesday. I won't give homework til after the projects are handed in on Tuesday.
The children have all chosen a Hindu God already in class that they will do their mini project on.
The mini project should be no more than an A4 page long.
This A4 page can be typed or written. There is no need for the children to write/ type too much information. Try and encourage the kids to find information about their God and put it into their own words.
The information that they should have included is:
1. Name of the God.
2. What they are the God of.
3. A little bit about the God's story.
4. One or two interesting facts about them
5. A few pictures/ drawings.
The most useful site is www.kidrex.org for finding information on each god.
This padlet is also full of useful information about the gods: https://padlet.com/belmeyneetbrian/mbg2x24qqo9l

All about the class novel
The Butterfly Lion
Over the next 8 weeks we will be reading a class novel. The work we will be doing will cover all strand units of the English curriculum- Reading, writing and oral language.
The objectives of doing this novel are;
- · Develop confidence and competence at reading fluency.
- · Read for enjoyment.
- · Increase understanding of challenging vocabulary.
- · Become more confident finding words in a dictionary.
- · Improve presentation of written work.
- · Give their thoughts and opinions on a novel.
- · Give their thoughts and opinions on characters in a novel.
- · Answer a range of comprehension questions.
- · Write a character profile.
- · Write a book report.
The children will meet these objectives in class and through nightly homework.
Some children will find aspects of the reading challenging. If you wish you may do shared reading- where you and your child both read together/read every second paragraph. They still will be able to hear the new vocabulary, increase their comprehension skills and read for enjoyment. If the novel is still causing difficulty, please let me know.

Oral Language
Please find questions based on each chapter attached. They need to be answered each week orally after each chapter is read. I would suggest that you focus on reading the chapter on a Monday and then discuss the corresponding comprehension questions on a Tuesday. Likewise focus on reading the chapter on a Wednesday and then answering the comprehension questions on a Thursday. As I say to the class comprehension questions aren’t a memory test- The child can scan back through the chapter if required to help them find an answer. We will review these questions in school also.
