Lost and Found Story

Today, we are going to plan our own letter based on our story Lost and Found.  Let’s have a quick recap of our letter WAGOLL (What A Good One Looks Like).

Each feature of a letter needs to include certain aspects.  Let’s look at these in more detail:

Now, I would like you to have a think about your own letter, imagining you are in our Lost and Found story.  Answer the following question making sure your write in full sentences:

Finally, you are going to plan your letter.  I have included a planning template below, but you can answer these questions using full sentences on paper.  By creating a plan, your letter writing later in the week will be supported, and the plan will help make sure you include all the features. 

If you are finding this difficult, look back at our letter WAGOLL to help you, or ask other people in your household if they have any letters you could look at and compare.

Cheeky Challenge: Can you list different ways in which we could end a letter before writing our name, instead of just writing ‘from’?

Please carry out your daily reading.

Science Home Learning

Let’s start our Science lesson with a game of odd one out.  Look at the three pictures below, and answer the following questions:

  • What are the similarities?
  • What are the differences?

If you are finding this a little tricky, have a look at the appearance of the three birds, think about what the three birds do, and consider where they might be found.

Today, our focus in Science is animal habitats.  A habitat is where animals and plants live, which is adapted to make sure the animal or plant can survive.  Our lesson today is through a PowerPoint:

Animal Habitats

If you would like to print out the tally charts for this lesson, there is a link below.  However, do not worry if you cannot print, you can create your own tally chart similar to our examples on some paper.

Once you have completed this, you will be moving onto the animal fact file.  Below you will find a WAGOLL, as well as a template.  Remember, if you cannot print this off, create your own template for your fact file, making sure you include all information.

Animal Fact File WAGOLL

Cheeky Challenge: Please answer the following questions using full sentences.  Remember, you can use the information you have learnt today based on animal habitats.

Please keep sending in your work, either through Class Dojo or our class email address.  Have a good day and stay safe.

We are continuing with our English based on the story Lost and Found by Oliver Jeffers.  To start with, please write a full sentence describing your favourite part of the story, and explain why.

Now, let’s listen to the story again.

Lost and Found Story

Today, we are going to be focussing on a letter WAGOLL (What A Good One Looks Like).  Over the week we will be building up our knowledge and understanding of letter writing, so by the end we can write our own letter.  Here is a letter WAGOLL:

Your first task is to read the letter, then think about everything that has been included.  Write a list of the features you can see or those that you already know need to be used in a letter.  As a challenge, can you write an sentence to explain what each feature is?

Now, let’s have a look at the features we need to include.  You can use this to check against your list, or use this as a guide if you feel you would like support whilst finding the features.

Finally, I would like you to imagine yourself in the story Lost and Found, and that you need to write a letter.  Please think about your audience – this is who you are writing the letter to.  Also think about the purpose – the reason you are writing this letter.  Please write full sentences to describe both sections.

Cheeky Challenge – Have you ever sent a letter?  If so, who was it to and why did you send it?  Have you ever received a letter?  If so, who was it from and why was it sent to you?  Finally, if you have never sent or received a letter, who would you like to receive a letter from and why?

Please carry out your daily reading.

Music Home Learning

Please continue learning our whole school song – Any Dream Will Do from Joseph and the Technicolour Dreamcoat.  Whilst learning this, listen to the pitch, the different ways you can express your voice and the different ways you can show emotion with your face.
