Remember each week you should be completing spelling, maths and reading at home. There are so many websites you can use to help with your learning, including...Khan Academy, Spelling City and Storyline Online. These and more websites can be found on our blog homepage.


1990s


Sticking with our theme of the 1990s. You are to choose one influential person from the 1990s and research into their life and why they were influential. You presentation needs to be on iMovie, where you can put together images, information and video to create a multimedia presentation. 


Start by researching the different influential people. Choose one and use the 'seven servants' to pose some questions about their life. Research and collate your information and images before starting your presentation. You may want to use the KAPOW process to guide you. 


Have fun!!!

Have a read and hopefully you will learn something too. Miss Beauchamp sure did.
