Wednesday 15th 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 Dragon’s Den on the Phonics Play website, revising all phase 4 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 we are going to concentrate on the feelings Stick Man experiences throughout the story.  There are many different feelings experienced at different times during his adventure, we can see these through the illustrations in the book.  During a day we ourselves can experience many different feelings, and this is exactly what happens to Stick Man.

I want you to think about these different feelings, why you think he is feeling these and what Stick Man looks like to make you associate that feeling at that time.  Throughout the story, Stick Man may feel:

  • happy
  • lonely
  • scared
  • angry
  • excited
  • sad

I have attached a template below, or you can create your own. Please remember to use:

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

Cheeky Challenge: Are there any other feelings Stick Man has experienced?  How do you know?
