Great River Research
Your task is to research and produce and A4 computerised fact sheet on a major river in your home country (or the Chao Phraya if you would prefer, seeing as we all live in Thailand).
Things to find out:
- Where does it start? (it’s source)
- Where does it end? (It’s mouth)
- How long is it?
- Does it flow through more than one country?
- Does it have any interesting features? (Like the Grand Canyon formed by the Colorado river)
- What wildlife lives in and around it?
- Anything else interesting you would like to include...
Your fact sheet should contain text and pictures and possible a map of the river. Remember to use the foraml style of writng tha we used in our reports last term.
This link shows some example fact sheets:

Good to see you again today maths group.
Your home learning task is to complete the decimal ordering task (exactly like we were doing on the white board in class). Do it on the sheet and stick the sheet into your book.
You should be spending 30 minutes on your home learning, so if you finish quickly (and many of you will) your next job is to choose two decimal numbers and add them togther using the column method. The key is to line up the decimal points and other digits correctly using your knowledge of place value.
If you still have time play Place Value Pirates.
