English Home Learning
To start our English lesson today, I would like you to look at the following picture in detail. Then I would like you to list as many adjectives (exciting describing words) as possible. Finally, please use at least two of your adjectives in a sentence. How many sentences can you write? As an extra challenge, can you include three exciting adjectives in a sentence?
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 the emotions and feelings you felt whilst listening to the story, explaining why you think you felt this way.
Now, let’s listen to the story again.
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:
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.
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.
