Wednesday Week 4 Writing

1. Tell your story from the point of view of the prey

• Find your Storyboard about your Narrow Escape story from Day 1.

• Imagine that you are the prey in the story.

Where were you at the start? What were you doing?

What did you see and feel when the predator attacked?

How did you escape?

How did you feel afterwards?

2. Remind yourself about Personal Recounts

• Read Personal Recount Features. • When you tell your story from the point of view of the prey you are

giving a personal recount. Can you spot the features of a recount as you

tell your story?

3. Write your story from the point of view of the prey

• Now write your story. You can use your storyboard to remind you what

to write about but do remember to write from the point of view of the

prey.

• Include adverbials in your writing. Read the three pages about

adverbials to help you to do this.

When you have finished your story, share it with a grown-up. Show them the

adverbials that you have used.

Try the Fun-Time Extra

Can you make an illustration of your story? Show the way the predator and

prey move during the escape?

2.

3. Narrow Escape

Write your story of a Narrow Escape.

Try to include some adverbials in your sentences.

Watch this video about The Water Cycle

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_zOf2wkMnis&feature=youtu.be

Here are 3 Science experiments for you to try at home

Water drawing

Using an old paintbrush, a sponge or even a water pistol, make some patterns with water on a wall or path in your garden. Check on your pictures after a little while – are they smaller? They might have disappeared completely! The water has evaporated and turned into a gas called water vapour. Try this in different weather and see what you observe.

Jumping water

Pop a plate into the fridge for a few minutes to cool it down. When it is ready, fill up a mug with warm water from the tap. Put the plate on top of the mug and leave it or a few minutes. Now check the underneath of the plate – how did the water ‘jump’ from the mug to the plate?

Just like in this experiment, the warm water vapour in the air rises up, then cools down high up in the atmosphere and turns back into liquid water; a process called condensation. You can also see this on the mirror in your bathroom when you have a bath or shower.

Perfect Precipitation

For this experiment, you will need a clean jar with a lid. The bigger the better! Put some water into the jar and leave it in a warm spot. After a while, you should see droplets forming on the sides of the jar and running down, just like rain. The warm water vapour has condensed at the top of the jar and is falling down as precipitation. To make this experiment really exciting, put some cotton wool or soil into the jar too, and sprinkle seeds on top. Cress seeds work really well, but if you don’t have any you can try finding seeds in your fruity snacks! What grows best?

In your book:

Choose one of experiments to write about, you could include photographs or

drawings of your investigation.

What equipment did you use?

What was your method (step by step)?

What did you observe happening?

Could you change the experiment? How do you predict this will change the

outcome?

Test it.

What did you observe?
