Good morning. Before you check out today’s activities, here are yesterday’s answers.

If you missed a maths video/lesson or want to revisit something, here are the previous posts.

As always, you don’t have to do these activities at a set time or in a set order – that’s all up to you. Also, you don’t have to be doing work all day! Feel free to send in some pictures or videos of some of the other things you have been doing at home.

Reading

Last week, we finished the final chapters of Pax. If you’ve missed any of the chapters and want to hear them again, here’s a link to all the previous posts since Easter.

Here is the 3rd part of the first chapter of The Graveyard Book. It starts just before yesterday’s ended.

Here’s some questions about what you’ve just listened to:

1.) Why didn’t Mrs Owens finish the song she was singing to Nobody?
2.) What was odd about what Silas ate?
3.) Who was the only person who could leave the graveyard?
4.) What did Silas agree to be to Nobody?
5.) What was the name of the woman on the horse?
6.) Where did Silas go after leaving the graveyard?
