Here are today’s lessons…
Friday 27th March
Literacy: Writing
Warm up task: Spelling practise
- I can read, write and spelling my common words.
Word list: will, that, this, then, them, they, all, are, my, her. (Revise)
Task: Record your date, title and I can in your jotter. Use Look, Say, Cover, Write and Check to practise your spelling words everyday in a different way in your jotter. You can choose an activity from your grid. This could be: rainbow spelling, bubble words, ABC words (alphabetical order), curly words, word shapes, capital and lower case words or just write out 4x in your jotter. Check over your work to make sure you have the correct order of letters in words! 🔠
Main Activity
- I can include interesting adjectives to describe my setting.
- I can include VCOP to make my writing interesting.
Task: Record your title and I can in your jotter. Write a short paragraph in your jotter to set the scene of a story. You may wish to use either the forest as your setting or the fairytale castle as the setting as well as the vocabulary in the word bank to help you. Use your senses to build up atmosphere and think about what you would: see, hear, smell, touch or taste at that setting. Can you include: wow words, connectives, openers and punctuation to make your paragraph interesting? 📝
Read and check over your work then traffic light.🚦

Listen to the text, then read the story on your own. Use your word attack strategies or ask an adult to help you with your tricky words. If your book has more content you may wish to read the first 10/ 15 pages only. 📖 🦉
Maths: Time
Warm up task: Mental Maths. Record your title, I can and Q1-16 in your jotter. Complete mental maths sheet 3:A5. I have wrote some handy hints at the side to help you. Check over your answers. 🔍
Main activity: Time
- I can read analogue clocks and write o’clock/ half past times
- I can record o’clock/ half past times digitally
Task: Record your title, I can and Q1-12 in your jotter. Read the time on the analogue clock and record the hour in digits and the minutes in words (o’clock or half past). After that, record the time in digits to show digital clocks times .
Analogue Clock Times ⏰
When the minute hand (long hand) is pointing to the 12 it shows o’clock. The short hand will point to the hour.
When the minute hand is pointing to 6 then it is half past the hour – 30 minutes. If you look carefully you will also see that the hour hand (short hand) is halfway between the 2 hours. It is important to see this when we read and write different times.
Digital Clock Times 1️⃣0️⃣:3️⃣0️⃣
Remember the first two digits are the hours (03). After that, you often see a colon to separate from the minutes : and the minutes are the last two digits. :00 shows on the hour (o’clock) and :30 shows 30 minutes (half past).
Here is an example for your jotter:
Q1. 3 o’clock – 03:00
Q2. Half past 9 – 09:30
Check over your answers and traffic light your work.🚦
