Good Morning Year 5! 🙂
“Quote of the Day” – Handwriting Practice
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (1900 – 1944)
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry was a French aviator and writer. He worked as a pilot for the French postal service delivering the post across the world. In those days flying planes was extremely dangerous. Every time a pilot took off, they couldn’t be sure they would survive the flight. He wrote about the beauty of life and the world, and the importance of duty, sacrifice and unselfishness. His most famous book is The Little Prince. He died in World War II on a flying mission for the Allies.
“It is only with the heart that we see clearly, everything that is essential is invisible to the eye.”
Well done Omari, Wen and Ariam. Omari even managed to answer Wednesday’s question on Tuesday night. I think there has to be extra points for that effort. The answer was “I have a dream….”
Today’s question: What is this a picture of? I’m not sure who will know this one 🙂
English – Floodland
We are very lucky with our choice of book because six weeks ago the author Marcus Sedgwick put videos online of him reading it so you don’t have to listen to Mr. Ledger! 🙂
Twenty years ago, we were all learning about climate change and the author Marcus Sedgwick wrote this book as a warning of what will happen if we don’t do anything to stop it. Today, the governments of the world are still not moving quickly enough and some like Australia and the US aren’t doing the right thing at all. It is up to us to change the world by changing how we live. You have all heard of Greta Thunberg. Although the situation is very serious, she explains why we can all have hope. Here she is speaking in London less than a year ago.
Think of everything you have learnt yesterday and today. Have a good look at the front cover of Floodlands. (DON’T READ THE BLURB IN YOUR HW PACKS!) What can you see? Who can you see? Where is the girl standing? What is she looking at? What has happened to her? Why is she alone? Will she stay alone? What is she going to do and why? Now write your own blurb in your red books. 🙂
