Spellings – learn the following spellings: February certain height history imagine increase. Remember you can use look, cover, write, check or play a game such as hangman to help you learn your spellings.
Children who are in Violet group (Waterloo) or Toy Story group (Blackfriars) for English should work on: there, their, they’re, to, too and two.
Punctuation- Learn how to use apostrophes correctly using the following lessons from BBC bitesize daily. Children in Violet group or Toy Story group may wish to do the first lesson only then spend time practising using apostrophes to combine words.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/z4p2mfr
https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zmq9kmn
Information texts – This week we will begin a new unit of work on information writing. We will aim to produce a leaflet about Queen Boudicca before the Spring half term holiday.
- Day 1- look at the PowerPoint on the features of a non-fiction (information) text. Non-fiction texts. Read an information book of your choice (either in traditional form or an e-book.) Make a list of the features which you can find in your book. There are suitable age appropriate non-fiction books on the Oxford Owl website. You will need to register if you have not already done so. https://www.oxfordowl.co.uk/for-home/find-a-book/library-page/?view=image&query=&type=book&age_group=Age+7-9&level=&level_select=&book_type=Non-fiction&series=#
If you are in Roderick Hunt group (Waterloo) or Toy Story group (Blackfriars) you may find this link helpful. https://www.oxfordowl.co.uk/for-home/find-a-book/library-page/?view=image&query=&type=book&age_group=Age+5-6&level=&level_select=&book_type=Non-fiction&series=#
- Day 2 – Look at the picture below. Make some notes. Who do you think this is? What do you notice about them?
- Day 3 – Use the link below to find out about Queen Boudicca and her revolt. Watch the video clip, read the text and have a go at the activity. Create a spider diagram of what you have learned about Boudicca from the video clip. Make sure your spider diagram is a good size so that you can add to it tomorrow. (Some children may need support with key spellings).
https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zkrkscw/articles/zhn6cqt
- Day 4 – Watch the following video clip. Is there anything new you have learned about Queen Boudicca? Add the new facts you have learned to your spider diagram.
- Day 5 – Look at page 4 of the PowerPoint from day 1. Notice that the sub-headings take the form of questions. Write down 6 questions which you can answer using the information from the Boudicca and the Roman invasion video above. (Children in Violet group or Toy Story group may find that 4 questions is sufficient.)
Reading – in addition to the reading activity suggested for Day 1 children should read regularly at home and should try and include both fiction and non-fiction writing. We have suggested the following websites.
In addition, the Barrington Stoke website is now offering some free resources. These are suitable for dyslexic children but also for any child who finds reading more difficult. The texts allow children to access easier texts which have age appropriate content.
https://www.barringtonstoke.co.uk/blog/2020/03/23/free-resources-from-barrington-stoke/

Before starting your English work, please complete your SPaG work as it will help you. Complete the English work over the course of the week.
SPaG – apostrophes
Apostrophes are used for two main jobs, showing possession and showing omission. Apostrophes for possession show that a thing belongs to someone or something. Apostrophes for omission show where something, usually a letter, has been missed out. For example, ‘haven’t rather than have not.
Spelling
You can practice with the spelling tiles and practice/ test. You can also practice and consolidate by playing the Snowball Smash game online.

You could paint a picture with different shades of blue.
You could make a poster about the colour blue. Thinking about its importance in art, any artists that have painted using just blue or use blue significantly in their artwork.

Being helpful at home
‘Children can learn a lot from doing household chores.
Doing chores helps children learn about what they need to do to care for themselves, a home and a family. They learn skills they can use in their adult lives, like preparing meals, cleaning, organising and keeping a garden.
Being involved in chores also gives children experience of relationship skills like communicating clearly, negotiating, cooperating and working as a team.
When children contribute to family life, it helps them feel competent and responsible. Even if they don’t enjoy the chore, when they keep going they get the feeling of satisfaction that comes with finishing a task.’
This week we would like you to help disinfect handles and switches around the home.
This week we want you to help at home by hoovering or sweeping.

Writing tasks
Day 1 – Retell the story using 3rd person.
Day 2 – Write the dialogue between Fox and Dr. Hammer adding correct punctuation.
Day 3 – Write the next adventure of Spy Fox using a different wild animal as the villain and including equally inept minions. We quite like the idea of a huge Ape – like King Louis in The Jungle Book – with cheeky monkey minions.
Day 4 – Create a newspaper report for the events outlined in the film.
Day 5 – Design a ‘Bond-like’ gadget that fox could use in his missions.
