Today’s Question: Who is the man with her in the photo?

 

English – Floodland

To prepare for our new book, we need to know a little about where it’s set. Find Norwich on the map. What do you notice about the colour of the map around Norwich compared to the rest of the map? What do you think that might mean? Norwich has a silent letter in it. Which do you think it is?

You are going to watch two videos about  Norwich. Each video has a few questions to go with them. Read the questions before you watch. Don’t write the questions unless you really want to but do write sentence answers in your red book.

1. In the video there are lots of choristers in red and white. What do you think a              chorister does?

2. What does the man show his friend on the ipad?

3. What does the little girl point at?

1. The Narrator says: “Norwich is one of the most ____________ medieval cities in  the UK.”

2.  How many churches are there in Norwich?

Writing Task

What did you think of Norwich? Would you like to live there? Today’s task for your red book is to write a postcard from Norwich. Watch the videos carefully, and choose someone to write to. Aim for at least 120 words. You could write a lot about one detail such as the peregrine falcons nesting in the cathedral tower, or you could write a little about everything you’ve seen and heard about Norwich. You could even write a short story for your postcard. what happened to you when you went to Norwich?  Have fun with it. 😉
