Handwriting

I can practise the formation of letters that start from the top

It's time to practise our handwriting skills.

Watch video and then join in the activity.

It's your turn to practise your letter formation on the handwriting lines or the handwriting lines with cats.

Be mindful of your end point when writing the letter /k/.

Once you have written the long date, practised writing the letter, you might like to brainstorm interesting words with the letter /k/. Turn these interesting words into a few silly alliteration sentences.

You also might like to write a row of capital /k/ and transform them into kites.

Reading

I can use my understanding of needs and wants to design and draw a treehouse

This is the treehouse from the story we have been looking at this week, Bat vs Poss. It has lovely decorations and even a swing!

Design your own treehouse that you would like to live in.

You can add anything you want to make your house fun, maybe a swing or a slide but don't forget the things that you will need, like bathrooms and a bed.

Show and explain your treehouse to a person in your family.

Watch this video to see the amazing treehouse Mrs Bonnici designed!

Write a letter to Squabbles or Meek and ask them to visit your new treehouse.

Explain your treehouse to them in the letter and tell them why they should visit.

Writing

I can understand the language of procedures

For the last day of term it’s time to get messy!

Watch the clip of the exploding Coke experiment.

You are going to write a procedure for the exploding Coke drink experiment.

Remember to include;

  • a title

  • list of materials

  • verb and an adverb in each step

Check with an adult first.

Use your procedure to attempt the experiment yourself.

If you don’t have Coke another fizzy drink should work.
