Remember in our class we have written character profiles using adjectives- describing words and the joining word 'and'. We have also practised writing questions using question words and question marks-can you make up an action for a question mark?

See worksheets below for day to day Maths activities.

This week our English work is all about pets. We are going to watch clips from the film Secret Life of Pets (I love this film!) to talk about what pets do when their owners are at work and read some books about pets.

Remember in our class we have learnt how to use joining words like and, so, but and because to make our sentences longer. We have also done lots of labelling and written simple instructions.

Remember when you are writing instructions we use numbers for the correct order, time words such as- First, Then, Next, After, Finally and bossy verbs such as- take, brush, clean, make, play.

Don’t forget to rehearse your sentences out loud, just like we do in class. Perhaps you could use your pen as a microphone! Alternatively, say your sentence out loud and use actions for punctuation (capital letters-make a A with your hands, full stop-punch with your fist, exclamation mark-draw a line in the air and punch with your fist). 

See worksheets below for day to day Maths activities. 

This weeks activities are all about money!

This week our book is Hairy Maclary from Donaldson’s Dairy by Lynley Dodd. I know my class will enjoy this book as you love stories about animals!

Remember in class we have learnt how to use joining words like and, because to make our sentences longer. We have also practised using capital letters for names and there are lots of names in this book.

We have also used time words when recounting stories so don’t forget to use these to start your sentences when writing recounts.

Don’t forget to rehearse your sentences out loud, just like we do in class. Perhaps you could use your pen as a microphone! Alternatively, say your sentence out loud and use actions for punctuation! (capital letters-make an A with your hands, full stop-punch with your fist, exclamation mark-draw a line in the air and punch with your fist)

If you’d like to do more writing you could write a character profile describing one of the dogs in the story or maybe your own pet if you have one. I look forward to hearing about them.

I’ll also attach our key word mat that we use in class to help us with our target words.

There is also a website with games and activities about Hairy Maclary you could go on at https://www.hairymaclary.com/
