Literacy 
J​asminara, Nasima and Louise's group

What to do: 

​1. Read three more stories from Africa
• Read these three stories from Africa:
o Creation and Separation Myth of Man and the Elephant
o How the Monkeys Saved the Fish
o The Poor Man without work
• How are these stories similar to yesterday’s stories? How are they different? Which two stories would you say are most alike? Why? Which two are most different? Why?

2. Spot story-telling techniques
• Watch The ‘Yes, Sir’ Chief again (1:03 to 5:45)
• Make a list of all the things that the story-teller does to make the story interesting.
3. Practise telling a story
• Pick your favourite story from today or yesterday. There are 8 to choose from – yesterday’s stories are at the end of this document.
• First make a StoryBoard for your story. Use words and pictures in the boxes to show what happens.
• Now practise telling your story again and again. What techniques can you use to make it interesting?
Try these Fun-Time Extras
​
• Share your story-telling with somebody else. You could make a recording and send it to them.
• Teach your story to somebody else. Show them your storyboard and teach them how to use it to tell the story. Show them how to keep the story interesting.

Numeracy
J​asminara, Nasima and Louise's group

​Today we are going to practice our data handling skills.  
You will need to watch one video that will remind you on how to read a bar chart, why they are useful and some important features to remember when drawing your own. You will then need to complete three activities. Remember, you can watch the video more then once if it helps you.

This week for numeracy, we would like you to continue practicing your times tables and division skills.
Today you will practice the 5 times tables. 

Remember to pause the video if it asks you a question to give you some thinking time. Watch it more than once if you would like.
Complete the activities in the link below. Once you have finished, ask an adult to go through the answers with you.

This lesson includes:

- two videos to help you to recognise that we need light in order to see things and that dark is the absence of light. Also, how light behaves with transparent, reflective and opaque objects.

- three practise activities to test your understanding.
