Good morning boys and girls,
I cant believe it’s Thursday again already. I hope you are all enjoying clapping for our carers and the NHS and will be again tonight at 8pm. Stephen is using a spoon on the back of a pot while we are clapping – he is very loud 😂
Doesn’t the sunshine in the morning make you smile?! Have you brushed your teeth and made your bed? Great! Then let’s get started. 🙂
Here are your tasks for today…
Thursday 14th May
Literacy
Warm up task: Spelling practise
- I can read, write and order the letters in my spelling words accurately.
Task: Take part in 20 minutes of Sumdog Literacy – spelling. Your spelling words are included in your games and you should play and collect coins along the way.
Main Activity – Comprehension
- I can skim and scan the text.
- I can answer in a full sentence.
Look carefully at the text and read it twice. It is from the back of an information book. Everyone should complete section A questions in your jotter and only complete B and C if you would like a challenge.
🌶 A. Skim and scan the text then answer these questions to show factual recall.
🌶🌶 B. Skim and scan the text then answer these extended questions. Think about the evidence you have read and what it suggests.

You could use this link as your dictionary: https://kids.wordsmyth.net/we/?ent=dew
Layout like this in your jotter:
- Word – canal

Fun Finisher – Sumdog Activity
This week is a short 4 day week so your daily challenge is to Play against the teacher every day on Sumdog from 2-3pm. I will log on and meet you there today at 2pm. 😃
Sonny, Callum, Emily and Szymon, I am trying hard to beat your scores but you are doing so well! I really enjoyed ‘Chef’ where you answer the questions then build your burgers – but you’ve got to be quick. I also enjoyed Junkpile but you need to keep trying if your items fall off. 👍🏼
