Topic

Learning objective: to plan and draft an email

Discuss why people use emails, considering what advantages and disadvantages they present compared to sending a written letter. Talk to your parents about why email is a great tool to help plan a road trip, thinking about things that they would need to prepare, such as booking accommodation, hiring a car or organising a day trip.

Research a place in the USA that you would like to visit. You may wish to stay in a hotel or a camp site. Plan some questions that you would like answered regarding the facilities at the hotel or camp site.

Think about the types of room, pools, restaurants, day trips, airports etc.

Maths

Please find attached the PowerPoint for our maths lesson. For each year group, there is a separate worksheet and please do not worry about printing, the answers can be written on a piece of paper.
