For writing this week, we will look at Russia and create an information sheet about one of the most important landmarks:- St Basil’s.

The writing that you will complete is part of a competition called, “Around the World”. It is open to lots of schools across the world, and at Hillstone Primary, Russia has been chosen as our country of interest.

To help get you started on your research, try answering the following questions about St Basil’s.

Use your computer or mobile device to help you find out answers to these questions. Keep the notes that you make safe as we will be using them again tomorrow.

Good luck!! Remember to share a photo of your work using twitter or the Year 5 upload link at the top of the page.
