Mrs Smart’s group
Today we are going to read the well-known story about a little boy’s lost toy dog – Dogger by Shirley Hughes.
Before you listen to the story, please take time to look at the file Dogger.png
Can you think of 3 words to describe this picture?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNOYgRf5jes If you have the book at home, do read it instead.
After you have heard the story. Have a think about how Dave must have felt when he lost Dogger. Can you think of words to describe how he was feeling. Have you ever lost anything that was precious to you?
We are going to write our own version of Dogger about a toy that we lose and find again. This may take you 3 days to do a really good job!
Today you are going to plan your story only. Have a look at Mrs Smart’s example of a story plan with a beginning, middle and end - see Forgotton Flora Plan.pdf for an idea for a story about losing a favourite toy and finding it again.
Now use the planning file – plan doc.pdf which has 3 boxes to draw pictures of your beginning, middle and end. Under each box is a small space to write short sentences about the pictures for each part of your story.
Please do not try to write the whole story in your plan! This is just a plan!
Good luck! The best stories come from good plans!

Topic
Today's learning intention is ‘I know that animals belong to different groups.’
There are 5 main animal groups according to certain similarities; amphibians, birds, fish, mammals and reptiles.
Amphibians: live on land and in the water; have webbed feet; breathe with lungs and gills; are cold blooded; have moist skin (no hair or fur); lay many eggs; have four legs (sometimes none).
Birds: have feathers and wings; lay eggs; have two legs; no ears (just ear holes); are warm blooded.
Fish: can breathe underwater using gills; live in water; have scales and fins (no hair or fur); are cold blooded; lay many eggs.
Mammals: have hair or fur; give birth to ‘live young’ (do not lay eggs); mothers nurse babies with their milk; breathe air through lungs; some live on land some live in the water; on land have legs and ears; are warm blooded (humans are mammals!)
Reptiles: have scales (not fur); dry skin; usually lay eggs (some give birth to live young); ear holes instead of ears; four legs or no legs at all; are cold blooded.
We will talk about insects in another lesson.
Below I have attached informative illustrations (including the facts above about each animal group).
I have also attached the group names as headers and some pictures that you can cut out and sort. You may like to write your own animal group names for sorting.
You could gather up all your animal toys (add a ‘Mythical Creature group’ for unicorns, Pokemon etc if necessary, but try to avoid confusion) and sort them into their correct groups. Talk about each animal and why you think it belongs in a certain group. Ask your adult to check.
Take a photo or video and share if you can, we would love to see!
BBC Bitesize has some great videos that explain each of the main animal groups. Watch here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/z6882hv
