Daily Challenge
For todays challenge we would like you to see if you could borrow/use a mobile phone to google an animal of your choice. You should then see an option for meet the animal in 3D. If you click on this the animal should appear on your phone as if it is in your house. We know that this does not work for all phones or all animals but it should work for iphone. I have also tried these animals; lion, tiger, panda, snake, penguin, bear. Once you have taken a photo of this please share it with us, and then we want you to write some sentences about your animal. We look forward to seeing your work.
Below is Mrs Mijatovic's photo with a tiger!

Today we would like you to have a go at playing Buried Treasure. Read the words on the coins, if the word is a real word place it in the treasure chest. If the word is a made up word place it in the bin. We have a phase 2 and a phase 3 for you to choose from. Who can read the most words and be the winner?

Art challenge
Our school like all the others in ASSET will be taking part in Image of the Week. Each week we will show you a new image along with some questions we would like you to discuss with your family. We would like you to record the answers to your questions onto a piece of paper. We have produced a sheet for you to fill in. If you do not have access to a printer you could simply take a piece of paper fold it into four sections and label each with the following headings...
- How does the painting make you feel...
- Where do you think the characters from the painting are?
- Do you think the characters know each other? Why do you think this?
- What objects can you see in the painting? Write a list.
Once you have done this please share with us your writing on Twitter. Once Google Classrooms is up and running this project will be posted in there weekly.
