This week, I have swapped our DT lesson which is normally today with our Science lesson on Thursday.  This is beacuse you will require some split pins for DT.  You may already have some of these at home.  If not, there will be some at the school office and you are welcome to come and collect some for Thursday's DT Lesson.

Today we will be learning the alternative spelling patterns for /zh/ sound.

e.g. /s/ as in measure;  /si/ as in division;  /ge/ as in collage;  

Watch the videos below:

Complete the alternative spelling pattern sheet for /zh/

Ask an adult to read the instructions to you (see below and the sheet).

1) underline all the different spellings for long /zh/ sound in the word list.

Practice reading all the words in the lists (sound out and blend) to yourself first. Then read them to an adult - tick the ones you read correctly.

2) Underline all the different spellings for /zh/ sound in the passage (text) . Then read the text. 

3) In the last box, write a sentence using a word/words from the lists and draw a picture to go with it (illustrate it). 

Challenge: 

Choose a word from each list and write a sentence for each one.

Remember to use joined/best handwriting, a capital letter at the beginning of your sentence, word spaces and a full stop at the end of your sentence.

T: To generate ideas for a recycled story.

In this lesson we will generate ideas for our very own story and you will be creating a story matrix.

Watch the lesson video in the link below and complete the activities within it.

I look forward to seeing your story matrices.

T: To order the events in a story.

This week all our reading tasks will be based on the story Stick Man. Today, I would like you to listen to the story. Once you have finished listening to the story, I would like you to put the story events in order and then write a sentence for each event.

Support - Order the pictures.

Challenge - Reetell the story in your own words.

Watch the video lesson below and complete the work sheet.

Support - Focus on questions 1 - 4 

Challenge - Have a go at the 'True or False' (T or F) question to make you think!

T: To sort living and non-living things.

In this lesson, we will learn what the acronym MRS NERG stands for and learn each of the characteristics of living things. We will then identify and sort a range of living and non-living things.

Challenge – Think of more things which you can sort into living and non-living?  Why are they living?
