Reading: Read your home reading book OR read a book you have at home. Complete a lesson on Reading Eggs.




Writing: We are learning how to write an informative text. An informative text tells REAL facts and information about something.

In the next few weeks, we will learn about different countries. This week we will be learning about Japan.

Watch the video All about Japan on Seesaw and read the information.

Today you are planning your writing. On blank paper, draw 4 boxes. In each section you will choose a different topic about Japan to write about, this can be: animals, food and transport. In the last box, write key words you can include in your writing this week.

Topic 1

Topic 2

Topic 3

Key words



Watch the video All about Japan on Seesaw or read the information from your plan to help you with your writing today.

Choose the first topic from your plan. Write a paragraph (this should be at least 5 sentences) about this topic. Make sure your first sentence tells us what you are writing about and then the rest of your paragraph will include interesting facts.




Choose the second topic from your plan. Write a paragraph (this should be at least 5 sentences) about this topic. Make sure your first sentence tells us what you are writing about and then the rest of your paragraph will include interesting facts.




Choose the last topic from your plan. Write a paragraph (this should be at least 5 sentences) about this topic. Make sure your first sentence tells us what you are writing about and then the rest of your paragraph will include interesting facts.

Writing: Today you will revise and edit your writing.

Revise- Reread your writing. If it doesn’t make sense, then you need to fix it. For example, add a word or delete a word to make it sound better. Try to include more interesting vocabulary. For example, if you wrote ‘big tree’ you could change it to ‘enormous leafy tree’.

Edit- Read your writing again. Check that you have capital letters at the beginning of every sentence and for the names of people and places. Check that you have correct spelling, if you are not sure then you could check on the internet or ask someone in your home. Check that you have a full stop, question mark or exclamation mark at the end of each sentence.

Challenge: Include 3-4 examples for each topic you have chosen to write about.

Post your writing on Seesaw.

Include key words from your plan to add detail to your writing.

Phonics: Watch the phonics video on seesaw. Air can sound can be shown with the graphemes ‘air’, ‘ear’ and ‘are’. List all the words you can think of with this sound. Circle the graphemes in all your words. Example: hair, bear, share

We say: “air air cut my hair” Action: Pretend to cut your

hair.

Handwriting: Write this in your neatest handwriting. Tuesday 12th October 2021

z z z z z z z z z z z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Zoe zapped the zigzag zipper.

Spelling: Spelling Rule:

The letter c makes a /c/ for cap sound. When we hear this sound in words, we know to put a c if the letter after it is anything except a ‘e’, ‘i’ or ‘y’. For example: cap c/a/p – the c makes a /c/ sound because there is a ‘a’ after it. There is no ‘e’, ‘I’ or ‘y’ next to it. Can you list some words that make this sound?

Speaking & Listening: Can you record yourself telling someone in your family 5 facts about Japan? Remember that facts are real information. You can use the information you have learnt in writing this week. Post a recording of your work on seesaw.

Vocabulary:

Today we are going to be learning about a new word in the story you have been listening to this week, Japan: Discover the country, culture and people.

Listen to the story again and see if you can find the word – endangered.

Find the vocabulary activity on seesaw or on the next pages to learn all about what the word endangered means.

Physical World: Investigating Sound

Sound changes depending on how fast or slow an object vibrates to make sound waves.

What did you notice? Why did that happen? What do

you feel/smell/hear? EXPERIMENT 1: Air Moving You will need a balloon! Instructions: 1. Take a deep breath and

blow…can they hear the sound as they blow out?

Who do you feel safe with? Think about all the people who make you feel safe and then write their names on the penguin feet template below. Now think about when you are out and about and surrounded by strangers. Who would you go to for help? Someone wearing a

uniform with a name tag

4. Write down what you have observed and describe, what happened? What caused the balloon to make a sound? Could you see the sound?
