Hi Beech Class. I hope you are all well. Here is the learning for today…

 

English

What do you know about real bears? Talk to an adult about what you already know about bears and then think about what you would like to know.

 

Discuss some questions would like to ask about bears, e.g. How many types of bear are there? Where do they live? What do they eat?

 

You don’t need to record these – just talk about them.

This could include: Title

 
 Introductory sentence/s

Phonics

Use this to recap previous learning.

phonics recap day 3

Then look at this:

https://www.phonicsplay.co.uk/resources/phase/5/alt-spellings-oa

Choose Phoneme Spotter. Read the text aloud, asking the children to listen carefully
for the /oa/ phoneme. Reread the first sentence or two and ask children to put their thumbs up
when they hear that phoneme (they may find this easier with their eyes closed). In pairs, give
children a printed copy of the phoneme spotter. Ask them to underline all words they can find
containing the phoneme and ask them to see how many ways of spelling the phoneme there
are. They can jot these down on the side of the page.
Click on the Reveal Graphemes button. The /oa/ phonemes will be revealed as well as a list
of all the graphemes included in the phoneme spotter. Get children to tick all the ones they
found.
