Hello everyone 

I hope you are all well and ready for another week of ‘Home Learning’.   Remember to keep active and enjoy some time outside and only complete what you and your family have time for.  Maybe have a go at a scavenger hunt or an I spy game.

This weeks suggested activities are;

Literacy

This first link is a guide to reading the story ‘Animal Upsets’ and an activity which can be completed once the story has been read. ( The second link takes you to the story)

Reading activity

GR_Animal Upsets

This writing activity is all about thinking about what the characters might be saying.  Talk about what is happening and try saying some sentences with expression! Once your child has had some time to talk about what might be said, then they can have a go at writing the speech.

English_Week_2_Writing

This talking and listening activity uses the story ‘We’re all going on a bear hunt’.  There is a youtube link but you may have this story at home.  I hope you enjoy these activities.

English_Week_2_Listening&Speaking

Also try to read a story every day. This can be a book at home or you can follow the links  below to Storyline Online, Oxford Reading Owl or the free books website.  All the links are below.  If you have completed one of the activities above then  it is not necessary to follow up the story with additional questions – it is also important to read/listen for enjoyment.

If you wish to follow up a story with a discussion then the ‘Prompt cards’ can be used.  They can be found in the reading booklet issued and are also available in the reading tab above.
