Monday 20^th April

Good morning everybody,

I hope you've had a brilliant weekend! 

This week, our theme is going to be, ‘DINOSAURS!’ I have set lots of learning tasks related to dinosaurs this week, so hopefully you will really enjoy it and learn lots of cool facts.

Remember, send me an email with what you do! 

Mr B 

English:

Watch this video ‘Dinosaur 101’ and see if you can find the answers to all of the questions. (Write the questions out in your book and then put the answers next to them – they are all in the same order as the video, so you can pause it when you get to an answer!)
