Good morning Boys and Girls, how are you all today?
I hope you are keeping fit and healthy as well as enjoying your learning at home. Did you manage to go out a walk with your family or maybe spend time in the garden? Rory got a new scooter for his birthday so we’ve been going out once a day looking for rainbows on people’s windows.
It’s now week 2 of our home learning! So here is the story for today:
Literacy:
Starter:
Tell someone at home verbally what has happened so far in Danny the Champion of The World (summarise).
OR
Draw out (take on the role of the illustrator) the main events of the book so far.
Activity:
Follow this link and read Chapter 20- “Goodbye Mr Victor”.

(scroll to P83 to find the start of Chapter 20).
- Why did Danny’s father give Sergeant Samways a funny look?Were you surprised by this chapter? Why or why not?
- Look at this vocabulary taken from Chapter 20: hush – constable – dismount – scoundrel – neutral – absurd – rogue – infernal – resplendent – entice – uproar
- Write a sentence to explain the meaning of these words. Use a dictionary or an online dictionary to look up unfamiliar words.
*Challenge*
Put each word into a sentence of your own. Ensure your sentence makes sense and the word is being used in the correct context.
Plenary:
Pick a section from Chapter 20. Practise reading with plenty of expression, showing awareness of punctuation and fluency. Ask if someone is able to listen to you read the section. Then ask them for a star (something you did well e.g. you read at a good pace; pausing when required for punctuation or for dramatic affect) and a wish (your next step, something to work on next time e.g. Using expression to make it more exciting and engage your listener).
This week in Numeracy we will be revising addition and subtraction.
Starter:
To warm our brains up we are going to play Top Marks Hit the Button – Number Bonds (choose the option within this that best suits you).

Activity: You can answer these verbally to a family member or on a call to a friend or written in your jotter. Try to work these out mentally, in your head, using the knowledge of your number bonds of multiples of 10, 100, 1000.
