Gosh, yesterday’s challenge was difficult wasn’t it! How did you get on? I’m sure you all persevered with it.

Don’t forget that there are 60 seconds in a minute. 🙂

A couple of weeks ago, we were looking at adding more than two numbers. Time to put that into practice with today’s challenge!

Have a go, and see how you get on. I’ll post a clue this afternoon if you are struggling.

Today, you are going to start writing the story, from the point of view of one of the meerkats. This means that you will be writing in 1st person, using pronouns such as I (this must be a capital letter!), me, my, our, we.

Good morning Year 4!

For today’s challenge, you only have to work out one number! But… it is quite tricky! Let me know if you need any help in the comments section.

Did you like the video? I hope so!

Today, you are going to draw a story map, showing the story in the video. Remember to include the main events.

This week’s extract is the beginning of an Egyptian myth, retold by a modern writer called Vic Parker, about the beginning of the world, and how things came to be as they are. Do you know any other stories like this?

First, watch the video:

Now that you’ve watched it, list the things that you like about it, what you disliked about it, and any questions you have. You could do this in the comments section, so that we can all see and discuss it. 🙂

Then, you need to summarise the plot of the story. First summarise it in three sentences. Then, have a go at summarsing it in 20 words.
