English - we are having a go at writing our own losing tale. This is a cold task to see what the children need help with and what they already can use in their writing, so we don't really give any help.

Today I would like the children to write their own instructions independently. They can use the plans they made yesterday to help them. You could help to ensure they are writing them correctly by asking them how instructions are different to stories before they start and remind them if they are unsure (e.g. command sentences, starting on new lines). 

D.T

Today the children are making their own mechanisms  (moving picture) to match a part of the Pied Piper story we learned earlier in the half term. If you have split pins perhaps you could have a go too? If not perhaps talk about the 3 different mechanisms made at school. If you have any books with moving pictures you could talk about how they move.

How to catch a troll? Unicorn? Lion? Their choice. Here are the instructions we learned about how to catch a rat - today the children will be drawing pictures to help them plan their own instructions which they will write independently tomorrow.

Today we will begin learning about the Christian celebration Easter - we will start by seeing what the children know about Jesus' life - birth? any miracles they may have heard of. If they do not remember much I will look through the children's bible and pick out some stories about Jesus so they get a sense of how special he was and how people looked up to him. I will teach the children the word disciples. I will then begin to teach the children some of the events that happened before Jesus' death e.g. Palm Sunday, the Last Supper etc.

School Radio - Assemblies KS1 - Palm Sunday - Dan the Donkey (bbc.co.uk)

Today we will talk about the importance of instructions being precise - I will ask the children to draw something and give very little detail to show the importance of being precise and giving detail to make the instructions as good as they can be so they be successful.

We will recap what instructions are and what they have in them. I will then show them these very simple instructions about how to make a sandwich - I will follow them but get things wrong as there is not enough detail. We will talk about what detail is missing. Then I will ask the children to re- write the instructions but improve each one.

Computing

In class we have been looking at writing our own algorithms. An algorithm is a set of instructions. Can you write your own algorithms to help the animals get to their homes?

Try using these instructions to help you:
