WB 30.3.2020
Hello!
I hope you are all keeping well at home! Here are this week's home learning activities. I have also linked the worksheets at the bottom of the page for those who would like to download, but please remember all activities can be done on paper/copied from the screen. I know Education City has been a bit challenging over the past week, I will continue to upload activities on there but ensure there are plenty of non-education city activities uploaded here. Keep safe and keep reading :)
There are activities for Monday-Wednesday. Thursday would have been the beginning of the Easter Holidays, so we will not be setting work from this point onwards until Monday 20th April (when children were due to return for the beginning of the Summer term). Please use the Easter Holidays to catch up on any outstanding Education City homework. Enjoy your Easter as best as you can and I look forward to hopefully seeing you all soon!

Monday:All children: Phonics focus. Read the sound and practice reading the words. Children can practice spelling the word on a piece of paper and drawing a picture to represent some of the words. Children should then read through the short piece of text and spot all of the words that contain one of the /f/ sounds.
Tuesday: Medium/Spicy: Read the information text about the life cycle of a butterfly. Answer the questions that go along with the text. (links to both below) Mild: Read the story The Very Hungry Caterpillar (link to book below). Look at the pictures of the butterflies' life cycle. Cut and order (can also draw and write) the events to create the life cycle of a butterfly!
SCIENCE CHALLENGE: Make a model of a lifecycle - see attachments for an example!
Wednesday:All children: Read a book of their choice (either a book sent home from school, a book they have at home, or one of the free e books from the links below). Mild: They should then draw their favourite part of the book. Medium/Spicy: They should then write a book review on the book they’ve read (template below and linked with other worksheets- no need to print! Children can use the subheadings to write their review on paper).

Challenge! If you want some extra work to do over Easter, why not create a whole book of animals by researching all of you favourite animals, writing a page about each one and attaching them together to make an animal information book.
