Hi Beech Class I hope you are all Ok. Here is the work for today. Please email any work you would like me to see. Mrs Quinn

English

Read Rumble in the Jungle.

Rumble in the Jungle https://www.booktrust.org.uk/books-and-reading/have-some-fun/storybooks-and-games/rumble-in-the-jungle/

Stop on the Lion, Snake, Giraffe, and Crocodile and ask children to describe what they look like and sound like. Then ask children how they might move. Can they move like those animals? Use these pictures to help:

When children have finished giving suggestions, model changing their ideas into sentences. E.g., Lions go roar. They have big manes. They prowl through the jungle.

Today select one animal from the story.

Can you describe…..

What does…. look like?

What noise does… make?

How does…. move?

Select how many sentences is appropriate for your child.

Maths

Today we are moving on to money. We have done lot’s of work earlier on in the year on money but I thought it would be good to recap it. It also links well with our work on counting in 2’s, 5’s and 10’s.

Get out some coins if you have them to show your child and discuss the values.

Then Have a look at this about counting coins:

Then select one of the 3 sheets which is most appropriate for your child:

Challenge

Have a go at these challenges if you would like something extra:

Don’t forget to have a go at explaining how you know.

Phonics

To warm up play: https://www.phonicsplay.co.uk/resources/phase/5/tricky-word-trucks

and select phase 3 tricky word to recap.

Then use this: https://www.phonicsplay.co.uk/resources/phase/5/alt-spellings-ee

Choose Phoneme Spotter. Read the text aloud, asking the children to listen carefully
for the /ee/ phoneme (sound). 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 /ee/ phonemes will be revealed as well as a list
of all the graphemes (written sounds) included in the phoneme spotter. Get children to tick all the ones they
found.

Extra Activities – if you would like

Today we are looking at an animal that lives in the Asian rainforest – The panda.

Giant panda’s live in china. They live in a few mountain ranges in south central China. Sometimes they also live in a very special kind rainforests called the bamboo rainforests. Although it is a forest, bamboo is not actually a species of tree, in fact it is the world’s largest species of grass.
