Spring 2 

Final Week!!!

Hello there! There is a lot going on this week with Parent’s Evening, World Book Day and our final days of online learning! 

This means that the content of the online learning will be similar to other weeks, although you may see some differences! 

World Book Day – We will be off timetable for the day and have 3 separate activities (You can find these below in the ‘World Book Day’ part of the grid). Please dress up if you like and join us for a Zoom at 9.50am to show your costumes (if you have one) or any books you just love to read! 

Final Friday – I would like to take this chance to say a HUGE thank you to everyone, adults and children, in your support and hard work during our online learning. Because of this hard work, we are asking children to complete some of the activities from the grid below. You may want to upload pictures to Seesaw, but there is no expectation that you have to do this as normal for English and the Wider Curriculum. Enjoy your Final Friday of online learning!

Tuesday – 

Take this time to think about how you are going to perform your poem, and record your video 🙂 You may want to consider the questions below. 

How are you going to perform your poem? Do you have any actions? Are you going to change your voice? What will the expression be like? How will you feel reading the poem? How do you want the listeners to feel?

Wednesday

Today we are using the gathering information skills we learnt on Monday. We pick a fruit – orange, apple, pear, banana – and create your very own fact file! This information will be used next week when we are writing our own Riddles! (please keep this safe and bring it to school with you on Monday!)
