Reading – This task is the John Muir day reading comprehension. There is a choice of mild, Spicy and Hot Challenges. You can select your own level of challenge. The answers are there and will help you if you are really stuck but try not to look at them before you have given it a go yourself. Once you have read the text you will be working on your scanning technique.
Scanning – You begin by selecting a keyword from the question. You then look for that keywords in the text to try to narrow down the part of the biography where the answer can be found. Once you have found this part of the text, read the sentences before and after the sentence containing the keyword. Within these sentences you should be able to find the answer.
L.I. – I am learning to read for information.
S.C. –
- I can read a text with an understanding of its meaning.
- I can look for key words in the text to help me look for the answers to questions.
- I can reform the information in the text as a sentence to answer the question.

Weather
We are going to begin our topic of weather I would like you to think about what you know about weather and what you would like to know. We will gather together for a call and work from a KWL grid online when planning your learning.
First we will have to create a KWL grid of all your ideas.
I will try to set this as an assignment in Teams today and send you a blank KWL grid to fill in. If this works I should be able to collate the results and display it to you during our lessons.
So for today we are going to fill out the K – What you Know and the W – what you Want to know.
Mindfullness – It is important that you take some time for yourself to reflect on your own wellbeing. Here are some links to mindfulness practices that can guide you. You may use your own if you like.
