Hiya guys!

I hope you’re all ok and have had a fab week. The weather has been amazing, hasn’t it? I have loved seeing your photos and ‘wow’ work on the website; looks like you’re having fun!

Last week, I completed the 5km running challenge to raise money for Captain Tom Moore’s NHS charity. What a guy! What a feat! Surely you’ve seen him on Newsround?! I hope you’re managing to tune in, I miss beating you all on the Friday quiz haha!

Our theme this week is coasts. Here are some topic examples for you to follow:

Geography

Flamborough Coastal Erosion –the 4 processes

Have you ever been to Flamborough head on the East Coast? It is stunning! The cliffs there are white because they are made of chalk. But the cliffs are being eroded away by the sea - but how? Have a watch of these two great videos of coastal erosion and find out!

Real life video at Flamborough:

YOUR TASK: Draw a diagram and label it that shows the 4 processes of coastal erosion.

Take note of the ‘solution’ process as you will use this for your science task!

 Science

Making a Bouncy Egg!

So now you know about the 4 erosive processes at the seaside, let’s have a look at the solution process.

At Flamborough, the calcium carbonate (chalk) is being dissolved away by the actions of the seawater.

You can do the same with an egg! Try making a BOUNCY EGG!

Watch this video and find out how and what’s going on!

YOUR TASK: Make a pic collage (or similar) of the process and outcome of making your bouncy egg.

Challenge: Can you add some scientific notes to explain what is happening?

English

Short story of no more than 200 words

Have ever been to the beach and found a strange looking stone with a hole in it? This is the type of stone that has inspired much folklore over the ages! Read this article and watch the video within it (Weird Suffolk: Witch Stones) to find out about the incredible folklore surrounding these hag stones – it’s fascinating!

YOUR TASK: To write a short, weird tale that includes a hag stone. Now you need to practice reading it out loud to yourself.  Find somewhere quiet and try to put in some expression.  If you are feeling confident, settle everyone down with a hot drink, dim the lights and read your story for an enchanted evening!

*You might want to complete your GPS tasks on Doodle, ‘expressing time and place using adverbs’ to help you vary your sentence starters! THINK: can I include: Time connectives, adverbs (ly), ambitious adjectives and powerful verbs to entertain my audience? How about some punctuation to build tension… Elispsis! Dramatic dashes! Rhetorical Questions!*
