Bananas: ou and ow
Extension words: tower, amount, flour, flower, trousers, around, shower, house, allowed, surround
Task 1. Dictation- Have an adult read the following text to you and write it out carefully.
A tower stood in an empty field. It looked like an old part of a castle. Flowers grew around the base of it and it looked pretty as the sun set. I wonder who used to live in a house like that. I wasn’t allowed to go into the tower as it was unsafe. A fence surrounds the walls to stop people going in.

Hello everyone,
Well, wasn’t the weekend just amazing, so warm (sun). I hope you all managed to get to enjoy the sunshine.
It has been lovely to hear from the children who have ‘checked-in’ if you haven’t already done so, can you please leave a wee message to let your teachers know how you are getting on.
I hope you all enjoyed learning about the animals at Blair Drummond Safari Park last week. I found it interesting learning about all the different animals, a few of them seemed a bit cheeky!
This week we are off to visit Harry Potter! I love Harry Potter. My wizard name is apparently Sirius Murray and I’ve been sorted into the Gryffindor House – what is your wizard name and which house have you been sorted into?

Keep in touch and please continue to keep us updated with what you have been doing, I love seeing your photographs – that you have been sending in.
Have fun!

Hello Mrs Rhicard & Mrs Steele! I have been working really hard this week. I have enjoyed learning about the rainforest and making my chatterpix, I was a sloth! I also made a Lego macaw. I’ve been doing good with maths and spelling and made an attempt at the speed bounce challenge, I got 19! It was also good taking part in the Hogwarts trip, my name is Lavender Abbott and my house in Gryffindor which I am very happy about! I have been keeping in touch with my friends on roblox and facetime and helped my mum bake some scones. Hope the sunshine comes back next week ☀️
Hi Lily Rose, your chatterpix Sloth was really good, well done! Glad you enjoyed the speedbounce too, will you try to beat 19 next time? Oooh, your Hogwarts name is cool and I think I am a Gryffindor too, that’s my favourite house. Glad you are keeping in touch with your friends too.
Checking in.
I wish I was back at school. Missing my friends.
Apart from that doing OK. Doing school work each day and playing with my sister.
