Floodlands

Hi Year 6ers at home,

We are currently listening to Floodlands. We listened to chapter 2 today. If you haven’t done so already, go to 6A blog and listen to chapters 1 and 2. Great stimulus for conversation about life and survival. We found some similarities between the main character’s emotions and our own emotions.

Listen to the story, respond to the questions and then post 2 questions of your own on the blog comments section so that your friends in school can answer them.

 

Hammad -If I were A King

What do you think of Hammad’s version Abenezer?

This is my version which I personally believe is better.

On the off chance that I were a King for a day, I would light a sentiment of bliss for other people, by giving a safe house to the less lucky. I would institute this by sharing basics, for example, food, drinks, cash, chemicals … and so on. I would likewise give destitute asylums a huge amount of cash to be put into the structure and supplies that would be bought for the government assistance of the individuals. As China assembled a clinic inside three days, I WILL construct numerous asylums over my city inside 3 hours. I would likewise employ my expert men to fabricate an emergency clinic inside 60 minutes.
On the off chance that I were a ruler, I would likewise experience the world on my own strategic discover a genie light. When I accomplished my objective I would prevail upon the genie and request endless wishes. Something else I would approach the genie for would most likely be for Gordon Ramsey to be my own cook, working in my modernized and charming gold stronghold, as I would like to think Gordon Ramsey is the best culinary expert the world has ever gone over.
