Tuesday

Handwriting

Tuesday

Today I want you to work really hard at joining on and off of the letter c. Page 23 encourages you to do this in the EXTRA section. Keep trying the words until you are happy with your joins.

 

Extension

If you feel you have done really well with your joins, you could move on to the EXTENSION section at the bottom of page 23. This section is demonstrating words within sentences that contain the letter c. Little and often is best to improve your handwriting. Keep working hard! I bet your writing looks amazing at the end of your practice.

English

Yesterday we looked at explanation texts. Can you remember what the features of explanation texts are?

 

Click on the link and watch the video to help remind you of the features https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zk69g7h

You may choose to do the quiz underneath the video in you own time as an extension. 

 

We are now going to learn about causal conjunctions and how these are used in an explanation text. 

Causal conjunctions are used to explain how things work or why something has happened. 

Watch the teaching video to find out more.

Have the print out or load up the causal conjunction cards. Turn a causal card over, then a clause (part of a sentence) card over. You must then complete the sentence and write your sentences in your work books. Repeat this activity multiple times. Have fun!

Keeping Fit and Active

Keeping fit is vital during this time. There will be lots of activities that you enjoy doing and you should aim for 40 minutes each day of fitness.

Below are a couple of documents with suggested activities and links that you can use if you are short of ideas. There are lots of apps and online activities but make sure you also get outdoors with your family for some fresh air when you can, staying safe and keeping your distance from others.
