Maths
We are doing more work on co-ordinates today. If you have battleships at home, have a game! If you don't, there are online versions like this one or you could play the paper version. There are instructions here.
English
Today we will think about what it would be like if the local council decided to cut down Macclesfield Forest and use the land to create a theme park. What would you think about this? Write a letter of persuasion to the council. We would love to read them!
Science
What Eats What?
This week we are looking at food chains. You will learn the vocabulary involved and then create your own food chains.
