EnglishWeek beginning 29th June 2020

If you are sending your child into school, we will be doing Monday and Tuesday’s writing work, from the suggested timetable, in school with them.

Therefore, on the three days your child is at home, please only complete the reading, spelling and handwriting. This might differ from the suggested timetable

but will help avoid overlap with what is covered at school and at home.

Please read!

We feel it is really important to let children know what the learning objective for each activity so that they know what the focus is. At the top of each slide you will see each day’s learning objective, as well as

the success criteria (the steps needed to reach the learning objective).

Please read through these with your child before you start each day

Monday: L.O. To find rhyming words.

- I know what a rhyme is.- I can hear a rhyme.

- I can find rhyming words.

Today we are focussing on rhyming words. Rhyming words are words that sound the same at the end of the word.

Have an adult/older sibling read out the following rhyming couplets (two lines that rhyme) to you. Can you hear the

rhyming words? Discuss what you think they are.




Lightening, thunder, all aroundSoon the rain falls on the ground

Hear the honking of the gooseI think he's angry at the moose

I love to write poems that rhymeI do this often in my spare time.




Now you have been able to hear rhyming words, have a go at finding some that have been written down.

Your activity today is to find the pairs of rhyming words on the next slide and write them down.

e.g. ‘cook and took’

As a challenge, is the rhyme spelled the same in each pair of words? Discuss.




cave

gave

tale

hailgrow

now

snow

cow

save

Tuesday: L.O. To create my own rhyming couplet.

- I know what a rhyme is.- I can say two words that rhyme.

- I can re-read my rhyming couplet to check it makes sense.

Today we will be writing rhyming couplets. A rhyming couplet is two lines of a similar length that rhyme. The rhyme comes at

the end of each line.

Have a look at the next few slides for examples…




I do not like green eggs and ham!

I do not like them, Sam-I-Am.

‘Green Eggs and Ham’ - Dr Seuss

Yip-Yip-Woof! by Kristin Frederick




Alligator pie, alligator pie,If I don’t get some I think I’m gonna die.

Give away the green grass, give away the sky,But don’t give away my alligator pie.

‘Alligator Pie’ – Dennis Lee




One rainy day on my way home from school,I found a big worm and thought it was cool.

I picked up the worm with my bare hand,held it up high, thinking how grand!

‘A Worm In My Pocket’ - Jodee Samano




Tiny Chihuahua, Humongous Great Dane.The difference between them is really quite plain.

Feisty Chihuahua Will yap-yap and yip.If he doesn’t like you, You may get a nip!

Gentle Great Dane Has a powerful bite,But never would nip you. She’s much too polite.

‘Yip-Yip-Woof!’ - Kristin Frederick




You hopefully now have a good understanding of rhyming couplets.

A rhyming couplet is two lines describing the thing you are talking about with a rhyme at the end of each line.

It is now your time to have a go at writing some. You can write them about anything! As a challenge, see if you can write more than one pair of rhyming couplets.

Don’t forget our non-negotiables!

Capital letters Finger spaces Full stops Pre-cursive Use your Phonics

Wednesday:L.O. To answer comprehension questions.

- I can read a piece of writing.- I can answer questions about a piece of writing.

- I can write in full sentences.

This week, we are continuing to focus on our comprehension skills. ‘Comprehension’ shows how well we have understood what we have just read.

There are two different comprehension texts on our school website for you to pick from. Please challenge yourself to complete the harder one if you feel comfortable!

As a challenge, try and write in full sentences. For example:

Standard answer:

Q: ‘What does the word ‘community’ mean?A: People with something in common.

Full sentences:

Q: ‘What does the word ‘community’ mean?’A: The word community means a group of people that

have something in common.

Practise your spellings in your handwriting book.

Here is an example of how to form the letters on the lines. We call this pre-cursive writing with a lead in to each letter:

Thursday:L.O. To practise my handwriting.

- I can write my letters on the right lines.- I can include a lead in to each letter.

- All my letters are the same size.

Full stops are used at the end of each sentence. If we are writing something exciting or asking a question, we use different punctuation.

If we are asking a question, we use a question mark instead of a full stop. A question mark looks like this:

?

If we are writing about something exciting, or if a character is shouting, we might use an exclamation mark instead. An exclamation mark looks like this:

!

Friday:L.O. To learn when to use full stops, question marks and exclamation marks.

Your challenge today is to write these sentences down and put the correct punctuation at the end. Does the sentence need a full stop, question mark or an exclamation mark?

The sun is shining _

Which season are we in _

I can’t hear you _

What are we doing this weekend _

I like eating bananas _

Dinner is ready _

Do you like pears or bananas _

Stop running _

Friday:L.O. To learn when to use full stops, question marks and exclamation marks.
