Capital Letters and Full Stops.

Copy these into your jotters.

Remember to put a capital letter at the start of a sentence and a full stop at the end.

1. the boy fell off the tree
2. my cat is red

Let’s look at short vowel sounds and long i, i_e sound. Watch the clips below to remind yourself of the sounds. Can you make a list of words with

a) i_e in them? OR

b)CVC words with a short vowel sound in them e.g. cat, pin, run etc.

 

Task 1. Do one page of your Supersonic Engine Juice workbook. Listen                             carefully to the rhyming words as you say them. Can you think of                         other words that rhyme? Try writing them on your page.

Task 2.  Remember to read out loud to your grown up every day.

 Challenge: Remember our sounds this week are a_e and wh. Think of some words and write them down. You can use paint, chalk, playdoh to make the words or even lego, be creative. In class we do rainbow spelling, where we write our words in one colour and again on top of it with another colour, try it at home too! Another activity could be to write your words in chalk and then use a wet paintbrush (dipped in water) to go over the words. Get a plate or tray of shaving foam and use your finger to spell the words out! There’s lots of fun ways to practise your spelling, see the pictures below to give you some ideas!
Read the words below to help you if you can’t think of any.

Talk to an adult or record yourself explaining: –

1. Your favourite part
2. Something you didn’t like about the story
3. Something that puzzled you or what it made you think of

Draw and write

• Draw ‘Trish the Troll’ in your jotter, colour her in neatly and write the title
• Write words around her to describe what she was like

Remember to try and read every day even if it’s just for 5-10 minutes! You can read your reading book, library book or your own book! Remember if you get stuck on a word, try and use the strategies that you have learned at school. To help you, we’ve  added them below!
Challenge:
1. Try and read aloud to an adult.

2. Read to a teddy, doll or action figure or all your toys! 

3.Read in a silly voice or a posh voice!

 

Good morning children, parents and carers! We hope you are all well and safe.  We have nearly made it through the week!

Remember these activities and challenges are posted to reinforce your learning at home. You don’t have to do all of them all at once.  We understand that your adults and other family members will be busy doing their work too. So just do what you can and when you can. Home learning isn’t just about doing Literacy and Maths, it’s sitting and spending time with your family. It’s also being kind and helpful by doing jobs around your home like washing the dishes, setting the table and making your bed. Remeber our rule, children: LISTEN to and respect your adults at home as they are working their hardest to keep you safe and well. 🙂

The children love doing a morning challenge as soon as they come into the classroom in the mornings so we thought we’d put one up on the blog!
Would you rather live in a place with a lot of trees or live in a place near the ocean?

Have a discussion or write your answer down and remember to say why!
I would rather live ___________ because ___________________.

AMAZING ADJECTIVES

In class we had been learning about adjectives. We know that adjectives are words that are used to describe a noun (a person, a place or an object). For example, here is the word big. There are many interesting adjectives that can be used instead of big, such as:

• massive

• huge

• gigantic

• great

• humongous

• enormous

Challenge:  Pick a character from a book or from a film. Draw and colour in this character, remember try to add detail into your drawing. Next, add some adjectives around your picture to describe this character. Remember what do they look like on the outside (tall, small, brown eye, shiny hair etc.) and what are they like on the inside (evil, smart, kind, funny etc.)

Challenge 2: Can you now write a character description (a couple of sentences about your chosen character). Remember to use the adjectives you wrote down earlier.

Here’s some examples:
