Thursday 16th July English Home Learning

Good morning Lawley and Caradoc!

I hope you are all keeping well and safe.

Please complete your daily reading and why not write a book review to tell us about the book you have read, it’s great seeing what you have enjoyed or not enjoyed about a book.

Next, please take part in the daily Read Write Inc Set 2 or 3 phonics session which you will find on YouTube.

After this please have a game of Make a Match on the Phonics Play website, revising all phase 3 sounds.

This week we are going to be focusing on Stick Man by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler.

To start with, please listen to the story which is being read by one of the authors – Axel Scheffler. If you have the book at home, why not read alongside Axel!

Today I want you to create your own part to the story.  You are going to think of a new character for the Stick Man to meet on his journey, this could be an animal or a person.  I want you to draw a picture of the character you want to use and the setting where the Stick Man meets your character.  Next, please write about the character, describing what it is and what it is doing, followed by how the Stick Man meets it.  Finally, please write about how the Stick Man would feel meeting your character.

Remember when writing I expect you to use:

  • capital letters
  • full stops
  • phonics for spelling
  • finger spaces 
  • neat handwriting

Cheeky Challenge:  Why did you choose this character?
