Before you get started, retell the Jack and the Beanstalk story to an adult, sibling or pet!

English:

This week we will complete some writing activities using the story ‘The Elves and The Shoemaker.’ There is a booklet attached at the bottom and a guide to each activity below.

Monday: Read ‘The Elves and the Shoemaker’- you can listen to the audio file as well! Can you learn some of the story? Perhaps you can make up some actions or draw it as a story map! What did you think about the story? Can you answer the questions on page 6? (Remember you don’t need to print- answer the questions on some paper).

Tuesday: Re-read the story ‘The Elves and the Shoemaker’. Now it’s time to see if you can be a detective and answer some questions- remember to use the text to help you. Complete the questions on pages 7 and 8. Finally, have a go at matching the words with their meanings on page 9.

Wednesday: Today we are going to be thinking about verbs, adjectives and nouns. (A noun is a person, place or object. A verb is an action word. An adjective is a word that describes a noun). Can you complete the table on page 10. Have a go at copying and completing the table on a piece of paper. Now you need to help the elves design their new clothes! Use page 11 to help you.

Thursday: Today we are thinking about letters. Read the letter on page 12. Have a go at writing your own postcard using page 13. Remember when we wrote our post cards for Sunny the Meerkat? Could you do this on paper and decorate it? If you’d like to show me your wonderful work remember to email a picture to the office!

Friday: Today, you are an author! Can you make up a story about some elves that help people? Decide on your characters. What are their names? Use the story mountain on page 14 to help you. (Remember when we used the story mountain to retell the Winter’s Child? It’s exactly the same idea, but this time it’s your own story.) Now you’ve planned your story, have a go at writing it. Maybe you could illustrate it? I’d love to see some of your stories, so remember to email them to the office!

Extra: The rest of the booklet can be used for some extra work but is not compulsory. There is a great activity linked to our science learning on page 15 and 16. Can you guess the riddles? I think I’ve worked it out! How about writing me a new riddle and emailing it to the office for me to work out?

Spelling Activities: Have a go at the spelling activities attached below or head to education city to practise!

Extra topic work (not compulsory):

Our topic this term is all about Knights, Giants and Beanstalks! Below is a menu of activities you could complete over the next couple of weeks and I'd love it if you could bring them into school when we get back for me to see. You don't have to do them all, but choose the ones you can do easiest at home with the resources you have available.

Shape ART: Create a shape Robot using as many different shapes you can! You may want to draw and color in or you may cut out different shapes and piece them together to make a robot. Give the robot a name and label all the shapes you’ve used.

If you have recycling at home, have a go using those 3D objects to create your robot. Name all the 3D shapes you have used.
