English

In school, we have been learning about adjectives (describing words) and how they can make our writing more interesting.

1) Use your phonics fingers to work out what the missing sounds are for these adjectives. Have a go at filling the gaps or writing the whole words yourself.

 

Use the grapheme mat to help you remember your sounds.

2) Choose your favourite toy from home or school. What adjectives could you use to describe it? How does it feel to touch? Is it bumpy or smooth? Is it light or heavy? What colour is it? Have a go at writing a sentence to describe your toy. If you like, you can use the sentence starter:

It is ____________.

Try to remember your capital letters, full stops and finger spaces!

Challenge: Write a few sentences with adjectives to describe your toy. Read your writing out loud to someone else at home and see if they can guess what kind of toy you have chosen.

 

 

Reading

Listen to the story 'Whatever next'. Discuss the story with someone at home and have a go at answering the questions together. We'd also love to hear your favourite part of the story when you're back in school!
