Read for 10-15mins each day. Write 2-3 sentences to summarise what you have read. Good Readers use a range of strategies. In Literacy we have been looking at Activating Prior Knowledge, Making Connections, Inferring and Questioning. Look at the following passage and write some questions. (They could be I wonder... questions or Thick and Thin questions. Remember Thick Questions are Open-ended and require complex answers and Thin questions are closed and are answered straight from the text.) //Regan's heart began to race. He could feel it pounding in his chest. His mouth was dry and his breathing shallow. How was he even going to be able to speak he wondered. All Regan could see was a blur of faces. His mother would be sitting there, back upright as still as a statue, waiting. No doubt she would have pushed her way to a seat somewhere in the front row. // //"And now we have Regan Sharp," announced his teacher. // = = = = = =

** Reading: **
Read for 10-15mins each day. Write 2-3 sentences to summarise what you have read.  Good Readers use a range of strategies. In Literacy we have been looking at Activating Prior Knowledge, Making Connections and Inferring. Look at the following picture and make some inference about it. It is a cold snowy night and your just sitting down watching the snow stick to the ground. You have your big woollen jumper on and nice soft gloves, you feel snow soak into your beanie. Alice was carrying a large clothes basket from the bedroom down the stairs to the laundry room. She struggled under the weight of the basket. She wished her younger brothers would help her. Instead, they were playing. She had heard them throwing a baseball in the house earlier. She had told them to go outside. They had gone to the backyard, but they had left the baseball on the stairs. Alice had come to the baseball and slipped on it and had fallen down the stairs. Her brothers had not heard or seen her fall. She struggled to crawl to the backyard door. One of her younger brothers saw her struggling as they were coming to get a drink. All her younger brothers had helped her get on the lounge and they got her some ice and a drink. Later Alice was feeling much more better and went outside to play baseball with her younger brothers.

Nervous System

The brain is the biggest part of the nervous system. It controls just about everything you do, even when your asleep. Your brain has many different parts that work together, which are 1. Cerebrum 2. Cerebellum 3. Brain Stem 4. Pituitary 5. hypothalamus

The biggest part of the brain is the Cerebrum. The Cerebrum makes up to 85% of the brain weight. The Cerebrum is the thinking part of the brain and it controls your voluntary muscles - when you want them to.
