Well done for trying hard, staying positive and loving your learning.
Reading
Please read for at least twenty/thirty minutes every day. Talk about what you have read with an adult. Discuss the story, characters and any new vocabulary you come across. If it is a non-fiction text then look at the contents page, glossary or index and see how it helps you find information. We can issue books and change books as needed.
Reading Challenge: Find ten adjectives (describing words) in your reading book and write them down. Make up some sentences that include at least three of your adjectives. Please do this in your Home Learning exercise book (collect from school) with today’s date.

Re-read the pages of Cloud Tea Monkeys which describe the Royal Tea-Taster’s reaction when he tasted the tea (PowerPoint below).
This is a very special tea! See if you can find the noun phrases used to describe the tea. How do we know that the tea is special?
The tea was so rare that the Royal Tea-Taster paid in gold coins which ended Tashi and her mother’s money troubles.
What if Tashi decided to sell her tea? She would need someone to advertise it.
You are going to write an advertisement for Cloud Tea.
You can choose where it will be advertised. It could be, a YouTube video, on television, a flier, a magazine or an Internet Advertisement, etc.
You must write the words that will be said on the advertisement. When you have written your advert, you could read it out to your family or tape yourself performing it.
Describe the cloud tea, what it is like, where it comes from and how it is made. Be as descriptive as possible. Your focus is to include expanded noun phrases.
Please write this in your exercise book. The date and title are:
