Week 4 Day 1

Spelling

List this week’s spellings - Week 2

Now write a sentence containing each word.

English

Creative writing: Aim of this week is to write a short narrative and describe a setting.

Watch the Literacy Shed video clip ‘Bubbles’ linked below:

https://www.literacyshed.com/bubbles.html Stop the video at 1.01 minutes.

Gabby is walking on the beach and finds a bottle of bubbles - when she blows it she gets transported into fantasy.

She has fun riding on bubbles and meets people and things on her way.

I wonder where the little girl will go on her adventure? I wonder who she will meet?

Create a story plan using pictures and words/ short sentences to map out the story that you will write later in the

week.

Examples:

Maths

Place Value: Comparing numbers

We are revisiting comparing numbers using < > and = this week.

Go through lesson presentation ‘Chomp the Greedy Crocodile’. Remind yourself what the different symbols mean

and using the words greater than/less than/ equal to.

On your paper provided, write down 20 numbers between 1 and 100. Use the croc symbols to compare your

numbers. E.g. 12 < 24. Could you explain your reasoning to an adult? E.g. 12 is less than 24 because it has 1 ten and 2

ones. 24 has 2 tens and 4 ones, so 12 is less than 24.
