PM Writing Task – The Big Tree

Today we are learning more about words and sentences.  Have a look at the story above.  The text in blue is extra information to make the story more detailed and interesting to read.

Asking the children to read/listen to the sentences then:

  • Talk about the blue text and what additional information it adds to the story.
  • Identify the sentences that tell us who is in the story, where the story is set and when it takes place.
  • Identify the sentences that describe what happened first, then and after that.
  • Talk about how the writer felt about the big tree.

Next, look inside your pack for “The Big Tree – Activity 4”.

recount_big_tree_activity 4

The purpose of this activity is to complete sentences by writing the past tense verbs played, looked and liked.  When you are finished make sure you read each sentence back to yourself to ensure it makes sense.  In the box at the bottom, please draw a detailed picture that illustrates the story.  Remember to add lots of detail.

After all your hard work why not cuddle up on the couch to listen to today’s chapter of ‘Fing’ read by David Walliams?

Good Afternoon boys and girls!

Let’s get creative

A1/P1 Outdoor Learning – Earthworms.

Good Afternoon guys.

Now I know how much my little class love to play with worms…………..yuck! I thought we could do some investigations to help us learn a bit more about our wiggly friends.  Relax and listen to the story I have linked below and then we can go ‘undercover’ and learn all about Mr Worm!

In the story Grandma and the boy conduct several investigations that we could do too!

  •  Have a look in your garden under your garden toys or furniture. Or if you don’t have a garden when you are out for your daily exercise have a look out for leaves that have been pulled into holes in the ground, our wiggly friends may be hiding here.
  • Try to get an earthworm to come to the surface by pouring some water on a patch of ground, this may take a little while.
  • Once you see a worm have a good look at it. How do you know which end is the head? Usually a worm moves forward so its head would be at the front. The head is also more pointed.
  • The earthworm is made of ring like segments, can you count them?
  • If you feel like it place the earthworm in you hand, is it cold, is it slimy?
  • Can you feel the little segments as the earthworm moves each segment has little hairlike bristles on them, these are called Setae.

Please remember if you touch the worms be GENTLE and ALWAYS WASH YOUR HANDS!!

Have fun

Maisie.

A1 STEM 27/4/20

Good afternoon everyone!

I hope you all had a lovely weekend and were able to enjoy some of the lovely weather.

As it is Spring, I thought this afternoon we could try to find out what Spring looks like.

I would like you to make your own photo frame, this could be from anything you have – cardboard, lollipop sticks, twigs … and decorate it to make it bright and colourful.

Then I would like you to go outside and try to take photos of what you think Spring looks like. This could be flowers starting to grow, green leaves on the trees, bugs/insects. If you can post your photos to Twitter I would love to see what you can all find. Here are some ideas to inspire you – Photo frames  We made ours from an Easter Egg box and coloured it in.

Have fun, Miss McLuckie
