Writing sentences

By Mrs Price4th March 2021

Today we are going to think about writing facts. What facts can we write about the bears? Think about where they live, what they eat and what they can do.
Choose a bear and write facts about it. What do we need to include in our writing?
At school we will be doing this as a collaborative activity. Perhaps you could ask your grown ups to share their ideas.

If you are gold describe the bear and where it lives, what it eats and what it can do. If you are green think about extra facts for the bear that you have chosen.

Describing 3D shapes Video of lesson

In this lesson, we will look closely at the properties of 3D shapes and talk about them, using new language to describe them.

You will need a tin, a cereal box and other shapes from around your house.

 

We will be using the words vertices, straight, curved, face and edge. Curved faces are known as curved surfaces. On a cone the vertex has a special name and it is an apex.

Repeat the sentence eg A cube has 6 flat faces.

 

Look at the shapes of objects in your home. What shapes are they? Can you describe them. If you are green standard compare objects saying what is the same and what is different about them.

Describe a real bear

By Mrs Price3rd March 2021

Today we are going to use the information that we have found out about a bear to create a fact file. We are going to start by looking at the fact cards and seeing what information we can find out.
Then we are going to draw a picture of a bear. Choose one of the bears that we have been learning about eg polar bear, sun bear, brown bear. Can you label you bear using adjectives like we did with the Bear Hunt bear.
If you are gold talk about similarities and differences about bears, where they live and what they do.
If you are green talk about how environments are different and make observations about bears and explain why some things happen/change. Talk about similarities and differences of the places where bears live.
We are going to use this information in our writing tomorrow. The second slide is for tomorrow.

The Masked Reader

2nd March 2021Miss Topliss

Take a look at our World Book Day website! Children have looked at the website during Crew this morning. We currently have a lot of excitement in school as children ask one another, ‘Who’s that behind the book?’ Each day leading up to World Book Day, 4 masked readers will be added to the site with clues to their identity. Can you guess who is behind each book?

Are you feeling inspired? Why not send a picture of yourself, with your face hidden behind a book, to your teacher. You could try other ways to disguise your identity too! You can also write your own clues to try and help your peers work out who is hiding!
