English Home Learning

We are going to start our English lesson by looking at the picture of the cat.  I would like you to list as many as adjectives as possible to describe the cat.  Once you have done your list, please use your adjectives in sentences.

We are going to continue looking at What We’ll Build by Oliver Jeffers.  If you would like to listen to the story again, the link is below:

Today we are going to be exploring fantasy and real-world innovations.  Let’s have a look at the slides below:

Concentrating on the last slide, I would like you to discuss the following questions:

  • Why do you think the pair have chosen to build these things?
  • What do we find out about these characters from these choices?

Once you have talked about the questions, please write down your answers in full sentences, using capital letters, full stops, phonics and neat handwriting.

Now, I would like you to look at the picture and consider which parts are real and which are fantasy.  Fantasy means made up, ideas thought up through imagination.  You could layout your list like this:

Next, I would like you to design something that might be useful for someone who is feeling lonely, using items that you can see (real) and items using your imagination (fantasy).  Take a look at this website to get some ideas, as well as our book.

Challenge #174 Feel better soon : Little Inventors

Be creative and thoughtful.  Once you have designed this, please write a sentence describing your creation in detail.

Cheeky Challenge:  If you could ask someone to design something for you, what would it be and why?

Please complete your daily reading, remembering you can all access Bug Club.  Please also practice your daily spellings.

Design Technology Home Learning

Continuing our work on Noah’s Ark, today you are going to create the boat you designed yesterday.  Please look back at your design from yesterday, looking at what you need and how you will make your book.

Gather your equipment, but remember to make sure you have permission before using anything.  Now, make your boat, remember to take your time and take pride in your work.  I’m looking forward to seeing your creations!

When you have finished, I would like you to write a sentence telling me:

  • what went well.
  • what you found difficult.
  • Is there anything you would change next time?

Now, put you boat somewhere safe ready for our floating and sinking lesson tomorrow.

Remember to share your work, if you have any questions, do get in touch.  Have a good day and stay safe.
