A message from Patrick- 1st May 2020
Hello all,
Thank you to all those who have been involved in the activities this week! I am also posting Davmie’s music below. I really appreciate it when you send in your work and there has been a big upturn in that this week which is brilliant.
https://musiclab.chromeexperiments.com/Song-Maker/song/5730862558609408
Please send your songs you have made as well (I may attempt to make one myself). On a separate note, I want to see more people completing the MyMaths before it is due tomorrow. There has been a dip so far this week so please get the work done before the deadline.
It has been nice speaking to some of you this week. We will be calling a number of you each week and a different set the next week so if you didn’t get a call this week you will in the next two.
I also want to say a big well done to Allana and Adrian for winning the poetry competition! All the poems were absolutely excellent and the level of competition was very high. I look forward to the next one- especially as it is now 1-1 between year 5 and year 6!
Now for the Friday quiz. Try to answer from memory, but if you are not sure of any of the answers then look at the work from the last two days.
- From where did the Vikings originate (come from)?
- Where are they known for burying their dead?
- Before the Vikings converted to Christianity, who were their three most important gods?
- How many countries are there in South America?
- What is the largest country in South America?
- What is the name of the world’s largest tropical rainforest that is in South America?
- What language did the Vikings speak?
- What are the two most commonly spoken languages in South America?
Please comment your answers below (DON’T LOOK AT THE COMMENTS UNTIL YOU HAVE YOUR ANSWERS!) and remember to make fewer but longer comments. It is best that we plan the comments we write and don’t make as many so that they are easier to track and read.
Thanks for all your hard work this week!
Speak soon,
Patrick

There is no need to apologise. Happy birthday to your sister (in three days)! Have you had a look at the questions on South America and Vikings yet Davmie?

Did you manage to find the answer for number 6? 🙂

Is it the Amazon Rainforest?
-
Fantastic! That is correct as well now. The Amazon rainforest is a fascinating topic in itself- you should research that as well.
https://www.coolkidfacts.com/amazon-rainforest-facts/
Why do humans need the Amazon rainforest in order for us to survive? -
Is it because The Amazon rainforest gives us so much more than interesting plants and animals to learn about, it also gives the Earth a lot of its oxygen?
-
Yes. As you know, we all need to breathe oxygen. As you also mentioned, it also has lots of interesting plants and animals!
-
Ok!

Don’t apologise for writing about work Weda! I’m more talking about one or two word comments that are not to do with the blog.
As for the answers you have put here- very well done. They are all correct and I have enjoyed your extra facts about ‘Amazonia’!
