Guided Reading: World Book Day! Real authors give you writing tips! • WORLD-BUILDING • With appearances from a few underwater friends, discover why world-building is so important to Sibéal Pounder and how keeping a diary of everything she does help to make her settings more realistic. • https://www.worldbookday.com/o nline-masterclasses/world- building/
Guided Reading: World Book Day! Real authors give you writing tips! • INSPIRATIONS FOR STORYTELLING FLOW • In this workshop, Sita Brahmachari describes how she finds inspiration through sharing stories with others. She’ll showcase how you too can share stories around a ‘creative hearth’ and find many treasures that will help you write your own dreamlike story. • https://www.worldbookday.com/onli ne-masterclasses/inspirations-for- storytelling-flow/
Guided Reading: World Book Day! Real authors give you writing tips! • HOW TO MAKE CHARACTERS FEEL REAL • Derek Landy explains how he learned to create realistic, three-dimensional characters, inspired by his Skulduggery Pleasant series. From resisting the temptation to create a character who we aspire to be, Derek shares how you can create a truly believable cast with emotional depth – and also how to keep a little piece of yourself in them. • https://www.worldbookday.com/onli ne-masterclasses/how-to-make- characters-feel-real/
Guided Reading: World Book Day! Real authors give you writing tips! • IMAGINE A WILD ADVENTURE • If you were to go on an exciting and wild adventure, where would you go? Maybe your place is made up, or maybe it’s a real location, like the rooftops of Paris! Hear from Katherine Rundell how taking inspiration from real life exciting incidents can help you find adventure hidden in all sorts of unexpected places. • https://www.worldbookday.com/onli ne-masterclasses/imagine-a-wild- adventure/
Maths Live Lesson – 10.00-10.30am • Today, we are going to look at completing symmetric figures/reflected shapes. • You need to think of symmetric figures like mirror images – they are ‘reflected’ in the lines of symmetry, as if the line of symmetry was the mirror. • Join Miss Pickup live on Teams at 10.00-10.30am. • You will need: • A piece of paper • A pencil (and maybe a rubber?!) • A switched-on brain!
Maths – Geometry – Symmetric
Figures / Reflected Shapes
• Worksheet Challenges:
• There are 4 pages of Symmetric Figures/Reflected
Shapes, getting gradually harder (Challenges 1-4,
on the first 4 pages of the worksheet document).
• Start where you like! Suggested tasks:
• Challenge 1: Less confident Year 3s.
• Challenge 2: More confident Year 3s and less
confident Year 4s.
• Challenge 3: More confident Year 4s.
• Challenge 4: Very confident children only!National Curriculum Objective • Complete a simple symmetric figure with respect to a specific line of symmetry.

Complete the Squares Answers
A, B and F must be completed as drawn to fit on grid. Note: B needs
the line extended.
D can be symmetrical but will not fit on the grid.
C and E are not possible, although can be drawn different sizes.

Maths – Geometry – 2D Shapes
Lines of Symmetry
• Symmetry
• What makes a shape symmetrical?
• A 2D shape is symmetrical if a line can be drawn
through it and either side is a reflection of the other.
• The line is called a line of symmetry.
• This is sometimes called a 'mirror line' or 'mirror
symmetry', because if you put a mirror on the line, the
reflection would show the whole shape.
• • An isosceles triangle has 1 line of symmetry.
• • A square has 4 lines of symmetry.
• • A circle has unlimited lines of symmetry!Maths – Geometry – 2D Shapes

Tomorrow, you are going to write them up into a newspaper format, so they look like a real newspapers!
English – Newspaper Articles • Use the annotated example article in the resources section of the class page to help you to write your report. You can also use the article we read earlier this week, on the actual topic we are writing about. • Remember, you are telling people that the school will be reopening on Monday 8th March. This has been announced by Boris Johnson, the Prime Minister. • We will discuss our ideas and read out parts of our drafts on Friday morning in the Live Lesson, before you write the final version in the proper newspaper layout format.

He is the first British astronaut to have lived on the ISS. Can you spot the five Ws in the start of this report?

Past Tense Newspaper articles are normally an example of a recount text. They are written in the past tense as the event has already taken place.
Quotes
Quotations tell us what has been said and who has said it. They can
help to make the story credible by giving the reader the opinions of
the people involved. Remember to use inverted commas!
