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.

#Lesson Presentation Seeds and Bulbs home learning
Find seeds or bulbs at home or on your walk. Record this in any format you would like.
If you can, plant a seed- record its growth in a diary.
Art
To link with your work on oceans around the world can you do a project on the colour blue…
You could make a collage of blue things you find around your home, in magazines, in newspapers etc..
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.
