• Some speech, correctly punctuated (but not too much)
• A metaphor and/or a simile (describing something as being or being like something else e.g. she was an angel/she was like an angel)

Your story does not need to be longer than a page and other than including the things above can be about whatever you want.  Have fun!

Geography Homework: Thursday 12.10.23

Due: Monday 30.10.23

This week’s homework is based on our North America topic in Geography.  You have all of next week and the half term to complete it.  I would like you to choose one of the countries of North America to research.  You then need to present your research in whatever way you like.  You could do a PowerPoint, a poster, a written report or even a model (perhaps using something like Lego and even better if you could label it) – it’s totally up to you.  Think about what things you think are important for us to know about a country: climate, population, terrain, flag, animals, people’s customs etc.
