We are going to choose a setting today for where the trick will take place.
I am going to choose... a theme park!

LC: To ask questions to improve understanding of a text.
Let's take a look back at the book that we have been reading so far. Can you remember what has happened?
Let's remind ourselves:
We are now going to read a bit further...
Can we think of any questions together?

We are going to read the following together:
Here are some question starters that might help you:
Why
When
What
Where
Think of two questions and write them in your book.
LC: To use a map to locate the capital cities and describe their position using a six-figure grid reference.
Sometimes it is necessary to be even more accurate. In this case you can imagine that each grid is divided into 100 tiny squares. The distance between one grid line and the next is divided into tenths.
- First, find the four-figure grid reference but leave a space after the first two digits.
- Estimate or measure how many tenths across the grid square your symbol lies. Write this number after the first two digits.
- Next, estimate how many tenths up the grid square your symbol lies. Write this number after the last two digits.
- You now have a six figure grid reference. In this instance, the tourist information office is located at 476334.
In the diagram above the four-figure grid reference for the square marked X is 8109. The six-figure grid reference for the church is 817098.
Now write the six figure grid reference and locate the name of the city.
