Comprehension
Children have been practising their comprehesion skills and below is a useful link ReadWorks where children have access to digital comprehension texts and questions to continue this.
All children can enter the following code: ZGPPD7. After this, children can find their name and then enter the password: 1234.
Once children have finished the questions, they can submit the 'assignment'. The assignment will then be marked and virtually returned to your child where they can review their progress.

Writing
You may be seeing rainbows everywhere to support the great things that key workers are doing. It would be great to see some of the rainbows you have created!
Rainbows are very bright and colourful. They are created when white light is split into a spectrum. This was discovered by Sir Isaac Newton who also discovered how gravity works!
Use the Internet and reference books to research more about Isaac Newton’s life to make a fact file - like we had been learning to do about Claude Monet. You could research:
. when he lived
. where he was from
. discoveries he made
Science
Rainbows are made when sunlight is scattered by raindrops. The different colours that make up the light from the Sun become separated as they enter and exit the raindrops, which is why we can see the different colours clearly.
It is possible to see this process using just a torch and some glasses of water!
What did you discover? Can you explain how the experiment worked using the explanation above?
PE
