Whole Class Reading (WCR)

To practise our reading; becoming more fluent and increasing our understanding, we take part in WCR daily. Our objective this term is to retrieve information from a text and record it through writing. This is tricky stuff so there will be lots of opportunities to practise this. As well, there will be a daily challenge to come up with your own questions.

Have a go at the attached, read the text and answer the questions about this piece of text. Then, can you think of any other questions you could ask?

Big Idea – ART AND FINE MOTOR SKILLS

We will learn this week about props. Props are really important in plays because they are objects that help the actors to tell the story.

The people who make the props are very creative. They are able to think up their own ideas of how to make something, as well as follow instructions.

The link below has been sent to use from Miss Brown. She would like you to have a go at creating a paper horse.

Take your time. It will take concentration and careful hands to be successful!

You may need some adult help with the first part.

Today, you will draft (draft is like your first go) the beginning of your retelling of ‘The Disgusting Sandwich’. Watch the recorded video attached and it will help you to think of the main ideas from the beginning of the story.

Remember to have your work from yesterday with you. Can you include any of your special vocabulary, temporal connectives or conjunctions? Try to aim to include at least one of each!

Big Idea – Geography

Our Big Idea topic this half term is ‘All The World’s A Stage’.

Performing is very special because it is done in all parts of the world.

You can perform on a big stage in front of thousands and sometimes millions of people.

When you log in to Zoom for your live lessons, I (Miss Place) perform for you. A lesson is a type of show because it has a purpose (to inform and to entertain) and it has an audience (you!)

I don’t have 5 and a half million people watching me though. I aim for 29!

Both of these ‘performances’ are in the UK.

Today in geography, we will learn about the UK.

Read through the PowerPoint with someone at home.

In class last term, you learnt about the continents of the world with Mrs Moriarty and Miss Stockman. Remind yourself about them.

The last slide shows the United Kingdom.

Print out the worksheet below (or ask an adult to draw a rough sketch of the UK if you don’t have a printer). Follow the instructions on the worksheet to colour the UK.
