Writing – Fairy tales

This week you will be listening to “The Princess

and the Pea”, so our writing will be about this wonderful fairy tale.

Task 1: Can you design your own dream bed and write lots of words to describe it? The Princess’s bed had lots of quilts and mattresses.

What will your dream bed look like? Is it high, low, wide, long, big, small, cosy, bright,

soft, bouncy? What colour is it? What shape

season, we see lots of pretty flowers..You could learn a new skill – Flower Pressing. Go to the link below which where you can watch a video on how to press flowers or read the instructions. It’s easy to do and so pretty. You could make a scrap book of pressed flowers, a card for your parents of grandparents or a piece of artwork. Press control and click on the link.https://www.nhm.ac.uk/discover/how-to-press-flowers.html?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIlfuTic_l6QIVQuDtCh2hkg53EAAYASAAEgJLEvD_BwEYou could also take some photographs of the pretty flowers you see outside. Can you think about the angle you take the photo and how close you need to be to get a good picture.2. PrayingWhen we are in school, we say our prayers every morning, lunchtime and afternoon. It would be a good idea to say these prayers at home so that you don’t forget them when we are back at school. You could teach someone in your house one of the prayers.

is it? Does it have anything that makes it really special? Think of as many words as you can to describe your bed! Draw your dream bed and write describing words all around your picture. Look at the photographs below to give you ideas on what your dream bed would look like!

Task 2: Look at the picture below and think about what the Princess is saying. Draw speech bubbles and write what you think she is saying inside the speech bubbles.

For example in picture 1, the Princess might say:

I am a Princess. Please can I come in to get dry?

Maths – MeasureLast week we looked at what capacity and volume is. I have added a power point to the blog for you to work through. Once you have read the power point you can try some of these challenges at home.

Maths - Time

Last week we looked at our daily timetables. There are certain activities we do on certain days of the week. I would like you to write the 7 days of the week in the correct order and then practise saying them in order. Remember a capital letter at the beginning of each word.

It is also important that we know the 12 months of the year and the order. Here is a song to help you learn them.

Maths – Number Bonds

Number bonds are simply a pair of numbers that make a given number. Number bonds are a very important foundation for understanding how numbers work. For example, ways of making 4; 3+1, 2+2, 4+0, 1+3 and 0+4. Now try to complete the number bonds for 5.

He poured the wine and gave it to the disciples and told them that the wine was just like His blood.

He said that when they eat the bread and drink the wine, they should remember Jesus and know that Jesus is living in them.

SunnyAs we have been learning about days of the week it would be good if you could keep a weather diary. Each day record the day of the week and then write or draw what the weather is like.
