This timetable is flexible. Some days will be more productive than others. We ask that you do the core subjects (reading, writing, maths) daily, and then balance the foundation subjects as suits you. You may find that doing all of the days work in one go works best (remember to take a short break, though) or splitting it into morning and afternoon suits you better. If you are unable to complete everything then do not worry. Do your best and that will be good enough. Remember the assembly on routines – try to start at the same time every day, in a quiet place if possible. Have a clear plan for the day. There will be some QR codes (barcodes) that you will be able to scan. These will take you to a website with further information or activities on. Any scanning app, eg Barcode Scanner, on a mobile device or tablet will enable you to do this.

Monday 22nd June Reading: This week’s reading will be based on a letter called The Bird Watching Club’. Activity 1: Listen to the letter (read out by Miss O’Brien) and follow along carefully: Take a moment to read the formal letter. Write down any questions you have, then answer the questions below. Remember to use clues from the text to help support your answers.

Tropical rainforests are found north and south of the Equator between the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn. The major areas of tropical rainforests are in South East Asia, West Africa and South and Central America. Some of the best-known rainforests like the Amazon and Congo are actually located on the

Equator where the temperatures and rainfall are high all year round.
