Captain Flinn and the Pirate Dinosaurs part 2
Click here to listen to the second half of last week’s story:
Task 1:
I would like you to have a go at writing some noun phrases.
What are noun phrases ?
A noun phrase gives extra information about a noun.
Nouns are names of people places or things.
e.g. telescope
I could add some describing words in front of the noun to make it sound more interesting. e.g. the old, wooden telescope.
I could add a preposition to give even more information.
e.g. the old, wooden telescope with gold edgings
I have now given the reader a really clear picture of what the telescope is like.
Have a look at this picture of the pirate ship. Choose some objects in the picture and use them to create some of your own noun phrases. I have included some vocabulary to help you.
This week I would like you to enter a competition! If we win the competition we could win books for our school. There is £2000 worth of books to be won!
To enter the competition you need to design and write a postcard to children at a school in Saint Lucia, talking about your life in the UK and asking about the children’s lives in the Caribbean. What do you think the differences might be? What would be the best things about living in Saint Lucia? What would you like to see and do? For more inspiration, you can watch some videos from children at a Saint Lucian school.
On the back of the postcard, draw, paint or use different materials to create a picture inspired by Saint Lucia. This could focus on any element of the island – whether the landscape, the Piton Mountains, the history, the plants and animals, the people, day to day life…or even the chocolate!
Here is the post card template. You can download this from the competition website and use it or if you don’t have a printer you could draw it on a piece of paper. When you have made your postcard then take a picture and email it to me and I will print and send them. You could also print and post them to the school or drop them off at reception for me.

Using Arrays
This week we will be learning about arrays. Watch the first video on this page to remind yourself what arrays are.
An array is a way of representing multiplication facts in a diagram or picture. It is always rectangular and made up of rows and columns.
An array is helpful for calculating multiplication statements, for example, 2 x 4 which can be shown using this array:
There are 2 rows of apples and 4 apples in each row.
There are 4 columns of apples and 2 apples in each column.
This array shows the multiplication statements 2 x 4 and 4 x 2.
The array has 8 apples in total. This tells us that 2 x 4 and 4 x 2 are both equal to 8.
2 x 4 = 8 and 4 x 2 = 8
Task 1
Use the interactive tool that is under Activity 2 on the website to answer the questions.
It looks like this:
Task 2
