LI: To know how to debate a question.
In English today we did a drama exercise called conscience alley. I gave the children a question:
Should Jim Jarvis have escaped the Workhouse or should he have stayed?
The children developed arguments for and against and tried to persuade each other that Jim should either stay or go.
Write a persuasive argument to convince your parents whether Jim should have stayed or left the Workshouse. EXPLAIN your reasoning starting with the stem sentence:
I think Jim should have stayed/left because......
Try to write as many reasons as you can. I can't wait to read them!

Maths
See the Powerpoint below for details of what we are doing.
English
Guided Reading
LI: To know what a fronted adverbial is
Think about what an adverb is - a word that describes a verb eg slowly. Now think about an adverbial - a phrase or clause ( a group of words) - which tell you more about a verb eg He ran under the trees. The bell rang at 5 o'clock. A fronted adverbial means that the adverbial is at the beginning of the sentence eg After school, the children went to the park. Remember to put a comma after a fronted adverbial.
