Work for children isolating

Monday

Spellings - We will talk today about how when there is more than one of something, it can change the word. e.g. more than 1 mouse are called ...... mice, can the children think of any more?

Mostly though when there is more than 1 of something we just add an s or es e.g. 1 boy, 2 boys, 1 bush, 2 bushes

Today we are looking at when words end in  y, sometimes we have to change it to an "i" (like we have done when adding suffixes before) - then we add es - that's what is happening in our spellings this week.

We will write the singular, then rub out the y and add ies to make it plural and repeat to reinforce this.

Maths

Warm up - TT Rockstars/MyMaths

Teaching Video - recognise a third

Worksheet - recognise a third

English

If you need to finish your story from last week, please do this, we finished this in school on Friday 

Today we will start to think about writing our own changed Dick Whittington story (see the blog from last Tuesday for the Dick Whittington story we have learned by heart at school) - today we will think about who are main character will be in our story. I will encourage the children to draw their main character - remember they must be either poor or sad or lonely at the beginning, what will they look like? What will their name be? Then I will ask the children to write a few sentences using expanded noun phrases  (Here is a reminder link below of what an expanded noun phrase is but we have been looking at them in school for the last couple of weeks)

Science

We will be doing some investigations this half term on different materials and their uses according to their properties

I will talk the children through how to do an investigation and how to keep it fair


Today we are starting our investigations with the egg drop experiment (good luck!)
