Example: A letter to my future self_______________

Dear Poppy,

I am you in March 2021 and at the moment I’m 10 years old and in Primary 5. I live at

14 Flower Lane, Alloway with my lovely mummy, hilarious daddy and the best little sister

ever, Rosie. I also have an energetic dog called Lilly. Do you remember what you looked

like then? Well to remind you, I am very small and petite. Am I really tall in the future?

I have fair skin, rosy cheeks, luminous blue eyes and thick strawberry blonde hair which

I like to wear in pig tails. I am quite quiet and reserved however I can be very

adventurous and outgoing when I am with my best friends.

My favourite hobby is making up funky dance routines in my bedroom. Do you still do

this now? I also love being creative and drawing beautiful pictures. My favourite food is

Daddy’s chocolate chip pancakes (I have these for breakfast every Saturday). My

favourite animal is a panda because they are super cute! I like most things but I

absolutely hate getting up early!

I am really good at putting on shows and performing for my family so when I am older I

hope to be a famous singer and dancer. I would love to perform on stage and be in

musicals in the West End. I hope to be living in London with my best friend Holly and

have lots of pets too!

Thank you for reading my letter.

Love, Me 😊

Science

LI: to list and describe characteristics of living organisms.

SC: I can define the terms

-Nutrition

-Excretion

-Reproduction

-Growth

-Movement

When you look at the world around you, how do you categorise or group what you see?

One of the broadest groupings is 'living' and 'non-living'. This may sound simple, but it

is sometimes difficult to decide whether something is truly alive or not. Here we look

at the characteristics of living things

Task 1: Pre- meet task

What do all living things have in common?

Follow up task

Task 1:

Watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jpO52VTHecQ and take notes on the 7

characteristics of living organisms.

Can you think of an acronym to remember the 7 Characteristics e.g. Mrs Nerg

Using the definitions you have found, create a glossary ( use the PowerPoint to

help) .

• Describe the characteristics

• Draw a piture to support your definition.
