Don't forget to join our class blog! We are waiting to hear from you!

Good morning P4, I hope you enjoyed your weekend! This week we have some new grammar work. We will be learning about the homophones where and wear and making singular nouns plural. Look at the powerpoints underneath before you start to help you. For your independent writing you are going to do a Wanted poster for an alien! Use your adjectives from last week to help you. Please contact us if you don't understand anything, we are here to help.

Week beginning 1.6.20

This week we are going to start to do some work about the writer Jeremy Strong. He has written a book called 'I'm telling you they're aliens'. The first thing you need to do is listen to the story on the link below. You are then going to find out some facts about him. For this week's writing you are then going to write a description of an alien that you imagine has come out of a space ship! You can plan your work one day then write your description the next. Remember you don't have to print out the sheets, you can write the answers on a page or in a book.

8.6.20

This week we are going to be learning more about homophones and facts and opinions. Both are these are on BBC Bitesize and have all the activities attached.For homophones complete the first three activities. For facts and opinions try all 3. We will also be learning about the difference between past and present tense. Watch the videos before you try the sentences. Our creative writing this week is to write a haiku. I have added a Powerpoint to look at before you start and also some examples to help. There is a planning sheet to help you get your ideas together before you start. For your spellings this week you will be completing a crossword using this week's spellings so you will need them in front of you before you start! If you need any help with anything please email us and we will be happy to help.

Well done for writing such brilliant haikus last week, we really enjoyed reading them! This week we are going to be writing a report to compare and contrast to two planets. Choose two planets to write about. You can find out facts about them from Junior Newsdesk where there is a great pod cast called Secrets of the solar system or from the Powerpoints. You can get facts from books too if you want. Then you are going to put them into a Venn diagram to see what the differences are between them and practice using report language. Finally you are going to write a report comparing your two planets. If you find it a bit too tricky you can just write a report about one planet. There is also an example of a report if you want o have a look at one.

Remember you don't have to print these out, you can do them in a book or on a piece of paper.

 

Literacy activities 22.6.20

As this is our last week of work, we have posted some more fun activities for you to do this week. As well as your spellings there is an activity to design a planet and a scavenger hunt that you could do with your family. We would also like you to go onto Newsdesk and comment on an article that you have read. There are also  the instructions on how to publish your work. It's very exciting to see the articles that children in our class have already put up! We have also made a trail around Victoria Park for you to do, with lots of fun questions to answer. We will put up the answers to it next Monday.
