Blue Planet
Follow the link to watch the live lesson brought to you by CBBC and Blue Planet Live. Guided by CBBC's Naomi Wilkinson and expert wildlife biologist Lizzie Daly, we explore what constitutes a healthy ecosystem and discuss the threats to our oceans such as plastics and overfishing.
The programme, originally streamed live to schools in March 2019, also features links to Steve Backshall in the Bahamas who explains how sharks can teach us about ecosystems and how human behaviour can threaten shark life.

Day 3
English – Demon Dentist by David Walliams
To analyse characters
In this lesson, we will explore the main characters in the text in more detail. Our main focus is on Miss Root, the new dentist, and the impression of her that we get as we read about her actions and the way in which the previous dentist died. For some people this will be a sensitive topic. If this applies to you, you may want to do the lesson with an adult. We will look closely at the author's choice of language and characterisation.
