English

Mrs Smart’s group 

This term we will be learning all about animals for our topic.

To help us with this, we are going to learn some new skills in English.
As our topic learning is going to involve learning lots of facts, we need the skills to understand and create non-fiction texts.
(Remember non-fiction means a text is based on factual information)

Thinking time: I’d like you to first think about the types of animals we keep as pets. Can we keep any animal as a pet?

Tell your grownups: - Why are some animals unsuitable to keep as a pet?
Now look at the Pet shop poster. What is the purpose of a poster? What do you see on the poster? What do you think this poster is trying to do? 
(persuade them to get a pet!)

Now think about your pet, if you have one (or a friend or relative’s pet). What do they look like – facial features, colours, markings, body shape and size, legs, tail, ears and body covering (e.g. fur, feathers, scales). Then in your book draw a picture of your chosen pet and write some descriptive sentences about them. Aim to use lots of powerful adjectives and adverbs!

For an example you can read about Mrs Smart’s dog Hetty. Open the file below!

Handwriting / SPaG

First let’s remember how to spell tricky red words with Jack Hartmann:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3zJJ1S6-rMc

Now let’s practise writing these words:

Take care to form each letter carefully and remember the rhymes in your best handwriting! Do a line of each word:

are, was

a - all around the apple, r - down the robot’s back and curl over this arm, e - lift off the top and scoop out the egg

w – down up down up, a - all around the apple, s – slither down the snake
