Inquiry: The Journey Home

This inquiry is called ‘The Journey Home’ and is about a mysterious creature. Children will create this creature themselves and then support it on its journey to find its way home. Last week we discovered a mysterious creature that hatched from an egg. Our challenge now is to help the creature find its way back home.

The creature looked around. He saw a leaf. All of a sudden the leaf started to wiggle...and jiggle. What could it be?

Wow!

Activities: (Have your phonics and tricky word mats on hand for children to use whenever you write.)

1. Draw/paint make your own butterflies/caterpillars.

Have a go at colouring your own symmetrical butterfly: http://boowakwala.uptoten.com/kids/boowakwala-adventures-butterfly-butterflycolor.html

2. Watch some videos and find out more about the life cycle of a butterfly. Can you spot any butterflies on your walks? What did they look like?Life Cycle of a Butterfly videoButterfly Life Cycle Powerpoint

3. Draw and label a diagram of a caterpillar becoming a butterfly. It might help to do this in three different boxes.

4. Write some sentences about what you have found out. Here is a video to remind children about what makes a good sentence.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNog8C2FRqU

Here are some ‘sentence starters’ to help you: First the caterpillar comes from…Next the caterpillar eats…Finally the caterpillar...

5. Decide - Do you think our creature is a butterfly?Write a sentence to share what you think. Now film your sentence and get your parents to help you email it to your teacher! We can’t wait to hear from you!

Here is a song to remind you about what makes a good sentence.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qh7hCqyfaPs

Phonics

We have tried to simplify phonics teaching as much as possible! Most lessons have 4 short parts to them. There are 2 main phonics groups for now, please email your teacher if you’re not sure which group they are in. Mrs Bragger’s (group 1) plans will be revising phase 3 as seen in the table below on page 4 and class based (group 2) will be continuing phase 5D which can be found on pages 5 and 6.

Phase 3 - Children normally in Mrs Bragger’s group

Phase 5 - Class Phonics

All phase 5d resources can be found here: https://new.phonicsplay.co.uk/resources/phase/5. Scroll right down to the bottom of the page. Phase 5d - Planning Week 2

This week we are learning to read adjectives that have the -er and -est suffix added on (and revise the graphemes and strategies learned in Phase 5a and Phase 5b). We will be adding these suffixes to words where no changes need to be made. This is why we are suggesting to stop each video at the specified time.

e.g. short - shorter - shortest fast - faster - fastest

NOT big - bigger - biggest (because you double a letter) Year 2

nice - nicer - nicest (because you need to drop the e and then add er / est) Year 2

Monday

Here is a simple video demonstrating added ‘er’ to adjectives to make ‘comparative’ adjectives. You only need to watch the first minute and 8 seconds - the rest is found in the year 2 curriculum!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lDmjvFOdxvY Comparatives

Teach Model blending to read the word kind. Talk through the thought processes involved in using the strategy from Phase 5b. “/k/ /i/ /n/ /d/ k/i/nd. Hang on, that's not right. I remember, the grapheme i can also make the /igh/ sound. I'll try that instead. /k/ /igh/ /n/ /d/ kind. What does kind mean? Show adding -er onto the end of kind. Briefly explain that the word kinder lets you compare how kind things are. Repeat with slow/slower and neat/neater.

Practise Crater Creature Countdown (Adjectives with -er added).

https://new.phonicsplay.co.uk/resources/phase/5/crater-creatures-countdown

Apply Write these sentences down and support children to read with you. talk about which words were tricky and why. This crocodile is kinder than that tiger. That flamingo is slower than this emu. Some people are neater than others. Sentences Phase 5d.

https://new.phonicsplay.co.uk/resources/phase/5/sentences-5d

Tuesday

Teach Model segmenting to spell the word louder. Model thinking about how to spell the /ow/ sound. E.g. “I'll start with the first syllable /l/ /ow/ /d/.” Draw sound buttons and write in the easy phonemes The /ow/ sound is a tricky one but it isn't at the end of a word and it doesn't have an n after it so the best guess spelling is ou. The last syllable is /er/ (draw one more sound button) and at the end of a word, that sound is often spelt er. Write all the letters in. Repeat (segment, sound buttons, put in the easy bits, talk about the thought processes for the tricky bits, make a best guess for the tricky bits) for meaner and older.

Practise Play Quickwrite using the words: prouder, neater, colder, smoother, smarter, sharper, darker, calmer. After children have written each word, show whiteboards to the teacher, then teacher gives correct spelling whilst children mark their words. One tick for each correct letter. If children have chosen the wrong grapheme, encourage them to correct it.

(NB: Quickwrite is exactly what it sounds like - writing words quickly on paper or a whiteboard)

Apply Teacher reads out sentences. Children write sentences on whiteboards. I feel prouder than I have ever done before. The sky is getting darker. You had a smarter plan than I did. Reveal correctly written sentences and encourage children to check their own spellings. Sentences Phase 5d.

https://new.phonicsplay.co.uk/resources/phase/5/sentences-5d

Wednesday

Introduce We are learning to read words adjectives with the -est ending.

Here is a video to demonstrate adding ‘est’ to adjectives to make superlative adjectives. You only need to watch the first one minute and 16 seconds as the rest appears on the Year 2 curriculum!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=orLwiZBVoyA superlatives

Teach Look at the words kind, kinder and kindest. Point out that while we add -er to compare two things, we add -est to say that someone or something is the most kind. Model blending to read and show that kind/e/st doesn't sound right and that the -est ending actually sounds like /i/st. Model soundtalking to read the words oldest and darkest.

Practise Play. Crater Creature Countdown (Adjectives with -est added).

https://new.phonicsplay.co.uk/resources/phase/5/crater-creatures-countdown

Apply Read questions: Which animal has the sharpest teeth? Which part of your body is the strongest? What is the coldest place you have ever been to? Sentences Phase 5d.

https://new.phonicsplay.co.uk/resources/phase/5/sentences-5d

Thursday

Teach

Practise

Model segmenting to spell the word lightest. Ask children to clap out the syllables in this word. Start with the first syllable light. Remind children that they know how to spell this root word light. Then look at the second syllable /i/st. Ask the children if they can remember the letters that represent the sounds in this ending. Write lightest. Repeat with strongest and weakest. Children write a selection of words on their whiteboards proudest, neatest, coldest, smoothest, smartest, sharpest, darkest, calmest, coolest, kindest, wildest.

Apply Write the sentences: You have the neatest bedroom. That shark has the sharpest teeth. I don't want to go into the deepest, darkest cave. Reveal correctly written sentences and encourage children to check their own spellings. Sentences Phase 5d.

https://new.phonicsplay.co.uk/resources/phase/5/sentences-5d

Friday

IntroduceWe are practising how to read and spell some tricky words. https://new.phonicsplay.co.uk/resources/phase/5/tricky-word-trucks

TeachPick three words from the tricky word mat to practise spelling and reading. Talk about which part of the words are tricky e.g. in the word ‘was’ the a is the tricky part.

PractisePractise spelling, see how many times you can write each word in a minute.

Practise spelling each word by putting them into a sentence. Can your child use all three words in one sentence? Can they challenge themselves by using a connective? e.g. and, because, but.

Enjoy your week!
