Week beginning 15th March

On Wednesday this week we will celebrate St. Patrick's Day. You have a day off home learning.

Below there is a selection of work on St. Patrick if you would like learn a little bit about him.

Monday 15th March - Literacy

This week the children will be moving on to Instructional writing. Instructions are written for someone who needs to know how to do something.

How to write instructions:

• Write in the present tense
• Use imperative (bossy) verbs to start each step
• Use time conjunctions for e.g. firstly, secondly, next, finally
• Use clear descriptions

We are going to start off with using imperative (bossy) verbs first, then ordering instructions, and finally writing your own.

Monday 15th March - Numeracy

We are going to be looking at the length of objects this week.

Maybe you can go outside and measure objects with items you have at home:- cars, string, lego, even your hands, etc. Make sure you don't leave any gaps!

What about learning how to use a measuring tape? Ask your helper to show you one.

Thursday 18th/Friday 19th March - Literacy

Below are sheets on giving Alien instructions. Remember, the alien doesn't understand a lot so make sure your instructions have good detail so that he/she knows what to do. Maybe you could take a large page for the teeth brushing one and add the things you need, illustrations and step by step instructions? Have fun.
