Follow the sway below to learn what is important when it comes to labelling a picture or diagram.
We look forward to seeing and hearing about how you got on.
For some this might be new, so we should all take time to talk about what we are thinking to our family. Remember when we are struggling or making mistakes we know that we are learning and our brains are working hard.
The focus of today will be on the language and discussion of what we are doing when we subtract or take something away. For this you can use any amount of objects it could be toys, coins or even some natural objects you find outside.
Follow the sway below.
Our next step is to focus on writing it down and using written numbers when we use practical materials.
If we think back to our last featured story ‘The Day the Crayons Quit’, each crayon wrote a letter expressing their personality and emotions. But in ‘Tidy’ we don’t really get a chance to hear from Pete and how we is feeling.
That means we need to look at the pictures and words more closely.
Pete goes through quite a variety of emotions and there are many examples in ‘Day the Crayons Quit’
The person who goes into the chair, becomes one of the characters in this instance it could be Pete or one of the animals watching Pete in the forest.
Whoever is not sitting in the hot seat can ask you questions relating to what has happened in the story.
Think of a variety of questions that start with the W5 (Who, What, When, Where, Why)
You can take the emotions you were discussing with family in hot seating and use them in creating a thought bubble.
With a bit of paper draw out a thought a bubble and write inside what Pete or one of the animals might be feeling. Remember to explain why, when we discuss the answer to why it is a good idea to use the word ‘because’.
I have given this activity an attempt taking a photo of me holding the thought bubble and showing the emotion to match.
Can you guess which part of the story my photos match to?
I look forward to seeing how you get on, send in your photos of your thought bubbles or add them to your sway.
I have enlisted the help of some amazing bee keepers to help us with this grid task. From just a small request they have produced an amazing amount of videos filled with lots of facts for us to listen to!
To help with writing the factfile there is also the youtube link on the grid. In the sway at the beginning you will see a checklist you can use when watching the videos. When we are listening out for facts it is always a good idea to know what you are listening out for.
In your journal you will need a blank page.
You can save the top of the page for when we do our picture and labelling next week.
You can choose how many sentences filled with facts you would like to write.
If you are describing the bee…. your sentence may start with.
If you are telling us about where it lives… your sentence may start with.
If you are telling us about what the bee does… your sentence may start with.
If you are telling us some interesting facts… I’m going to leave that to you as you might find a fact our bee keepers or myself have never heard of.
Thank you for sharing your efforts.
Now in this blog post I want you to look at these pupils efforts and answer the following questions.
This is called Data Analysis, we are reading the information that has been gathered.
Email or Seesaw your pictures to your teacher.
I hope you are all enjoying our mini project on conflict with our featured story ‘The Day the Crayons Quit’.
After reading or listening to the story a few times we notice that the crayons are expressing their feelings to Duncan as to why they have quit and left Duncan.
Use the questions below and discuss the family members, everyone might have different answers as it is their opinion.
What words can you find in each letter that tell you their emotion?
Which crayon do they feel most sorry for, and why?
Which crayon seems happiest and why do they say this?
Which crayon would they most like to cheer up?
What could they do to make one of the crayons feel happier?
Which crayon is the angriest one and why?
What could Duncan do to calm this crayon down?
The Crayons all come from the same box, they are all apart of a larger team. Just like you and your family we can all have different emotions but we should all still come together.
Follow the link below to make your own every crayon counts sign to share with family.
Thank you to everyone who completed the survey.
When you gather in information it can be called ‘raw data’ like raw chicken you can’t do much with it, so you have to do something in order for it to be used. For instance, cooking the chicken or presenting the data in a way that is readable.
Below is a list of the data that has been collated. Your task is to use the data given and present it in a readable manner. This could be in the form of a pictogram, bar graph or pie chart. Look through the sway below on suggestions and reminders when presenting the information.
This is one of the imaginative spicy writing challenges on Literacy Grid 1
Thumper Comic
Thumper the Calf is a super hero with ‘MOOvellous’ powers.
Draw Thumper in his superhero costume and label his super powers.
OR
Write a comic strip about his adventures Write in your journal or maybe you could use book creator on the iPad or computer or sway in Glow to create an e book.
Share with your teacher via Glow.
I have used the comic option in the paid version of Book Creator to give this a go.
Main characters – little plastic calf for Thumper; Jessie, the horse, Rex and Mr Potato Head from the original Toy Story.
Setting – Toy farm buildings, a wooden rainbow, a broken Lego millennium falcon and a wooden safari set.
I tinkered, debugged and persevered with what I had until I came up with a simple storyline. I tried not to be distracted with making superhero accessories.
I quickly drew super pants and stuck them on with double sided tape. I used a pipe cleaner for super horns – job done!
It was great fun!
Have a go!
