I’m still here!

Sorry to have not blogged for a while but it is very busy in my key workers group as I am delivering phonics, literacy and maths! It has helped me brush up on my graphemes, digraphs and trigraphs as well as teaching me all about EYFS expectations.

P.S The chairs are very little!

P.P.S Don’t forget about out google hangout on Friday!

Wonderful writing

Mia has written a story based on some characters that she thought of the other day. She has used full stops and capital letters and has used her imagination too. Well done Mia.

Wednesday 8th July

Good morning 6H,

I hope you are enjoying creating your own slides about your primary schooling – Miss Blackham has been impressed with what she has received so far.  Please keep working hard on them as we cannot wait to show them off to other schools within our trust of academies.

We need your pictures too – please email Miss Blackham by Friday at 4pm with a photograph if yourself when you started primary and a more recent one as you are about to leave.

Thanks guys and have a wonderful day despite the miserable weather.

Mrs H 🙂

Wednesday 8th June

Good Morning,

 

Well done for continuing to log on and submit your work. Today you will be continuing writing your poetry – remember you can do more than one version and try it out in different ways – the best writers  are never happy with their first version.

We are carrying on learning about negative numbers – go back to the videos if you are unsure and recap.

There are some great horrible history episodes about the Tudor Explorers – have a look on iplayer and youtube to have a watch.

Have a nice day!
Keep safe

Mrs Graves

Good morning Key Stage One. Today we are answering comprehension questions based on our story.

Here is the story. You can use the link to refresh your memory with the story from yesterday. You also might want to watch it again and enjoy the wonderful pictures from the story

Retrieval Questions

  1. What 3 things was the garden to the gardener? (Use pages 5 and 6 to help you)
  2. Was the gardener good at gardening? Can you find evidence in the text to support your answer? 
  3. What blossomed in the garden?
  4. How long did the gardener sleep for?
  5. What had happened to the gardener when he woke up?

Inference Questions

The gardener felt incredibly sad about his garden beginning to die and he made a wish.

Have a think about being the gardener. I wonder if you have felt like him before? That you are trying really hard but things are still not going quite right somehow. 

How do you think the gardener must have felt seeing all his garden die? I wonder if you can write your answer in a full sentence?

Now I would like you to think about what the gardener must have wished for when he closed his eyes. 

What do you think that he wished for? Can you write your answer in a full sentence? 

Extra Task.

Can you draw a picture showing how you think the gardener wanted the garden to look when he woke up?
