Good morning everyone!

How are you all feeling today?  Check-in with your family and say how you are all feeling and why.

Here is the new home learning grid.  It is a bit different as it is the last 2 weeks of term 🙂  Home Learning Grid 6

Here is the attachment for the Bug Hotel (from the new grid):

 

Literacy – Writing

I hope you all had a good weekend even though the weather wasn’t great.  I went for a few long walks and made chocolate fairy cakes with my daughter. She loved them! What did you get up to?  Can you write your weekend news to tell me?  Remember your writing targets.

Punctuation  CL    .    !    ,

Openers     At the weekend…..     Yesterday…    On Saturday…..

Connectives (joining words)   and    but       so      because

Descriptive language     adjectives (describing words)

 

Maths – Position and Movement

This week we will be practising describing journeys using words:

forwards           backwards              left          right            turn       half turn                  quarter turn       clockwise          anti-clockwise

Have a look at this website to remind yourself:

In your home or garden, work with someone you live with to practise describing and following directions.  Put a few obstacles on the floor or ground, and direct them from one end of the room to another. You could make something the ‘treasure’ and place it in different places to direct them to!

For example:

Forward 3 steps…turn left ( quarter turn anticlockwise)….forward 4 steps……turn right (quarter turn clockwise)…forward 5 steps…TREASURE!

If you would like some more practise with coordinates from last week, here are some games to try:
