Good morning Lawley,

I hope you are all well, Mrs Morgan and I are missing you all very much!  Here are our home learning activities for today:

Phonics and reading

Please complete your daily reading followed by a book review, I am enjoying seeing which books you like and why.  Then take part in the daily Read Write Inc Set 3 Phonics Session on YouTube.  After this I would like you to play a game of matching pairs on Phonics Play.

English Home Learning

I would like to you have a good, detailed look at this picture, then read the story below:

The Great House had many hidden treasures. As a 10 year old girl, many of the rooms were out of bounds for Elsa, but her desire for adventure often got the better of her…

She peeked back over her shoulder to check that the coast was clear. She could hear one of the butlers clattering around in the kitchens at the far end of the hall; no one knew she was there.

She carefully turned the ornate, golden door handle, hearing the mechanism inside clunk, and eased the heavy, wooden door open just enough to slip inside the room.

Immediately, Elsa was bathed in light as it poured down from the circular windows in the ceiling. She could see dust dancing in the beams of sunlight.
With a flutter of excitement inside her chest, she strode confidently into the centre of the room, her shoes click-clacking off the chessboard-like floor. She loved this library – it felt like she was ‘in’ history. How many lords and ladies had graced this great room? It has stood here for centuries, and Elsa doubted that little, if anything, had changed over the years.

Elsa loved reading, but that wasn’t why she had come to the library. She approached one of the golden orbs lined up along the centre of the library floor, and carefully placed her finger on the top. It had worked last time. Would it work again? She longed for the magic to happen, and closed her eyes in silent prayer…

Today I would like you to continue the story by telling me what happens next.  Use your imagination, this is your story, there is no right or wrong way to do this.

Remember to include:

• capital letters
• full stops
• finger spaces
• phonics
• neat handwriting
• adjectives

Cheeky Challenge: Add a picture in at the end showing what you have said happens next.
