Writing
Today we’ll carry on with our City Of Silence topic.
Activity 4: Try some alliteration
Let’s make some more place/abstract noun combinations but this time try to make them alliterative: this means both your place and your abstract noun need to start with the same sound:
The cave of curiosity
The temple of terror
The office of honesty
The motorway of mischief
A star of sorrow
The fairground of fear
★ Now have a go at your own alliterative combinations. Can you make up twenty? You can use the same place more than once.
★ Now pick your top 10 combinations and keep them somewhere special. Below is a list of combinations. Which five would you magpie?
CHALLENGE! Try some juxtaposition
If you haven’t heard of this term before, juxtaposition means having two opposite or contrasting ideas next to each other. This can surprise the reader as they might not be expecting it or have never heard it before. The title of our game – The City of Silence – is actually an example of juxtaposition because a city is not normally silent but full of noise. Here are some other examples to help you think of your own.
The sun of darkness
The dungeon of love
The black hole of light
The cave of dreams
The waterfall of pain
★ Now have a go at coming up with ten ideas that use juxtaposition.

Maths No problem
Chapter 14 Lesson 4
Have a go at the In Focus task on page 226. At first sight it’s tricky. Try and draw a bar model to represent the problem, it helped me!
If you get stuck read through the Let’s Learn section a few times. It explains how to solve the problem very clearly.
Complete the Guided Practice section. Question 1 is similar to the In focus task. Draw a bar model.
Hint for question 2: Use the mean of 79 to work out the total number of the five scores (79×5). Remembering that each score is different write out the scores you know. If the third score has to be as low as possible that means the fourth and fifth scores need to be as high as possible without being the same. Check the scores you choose add up to 79×5.
