Monday

WALT: extend sentences using expanded noun phrases and verbs

 

Remind yourself of the different word types we already know.

 

This week we are going to be focusing on writing descriptions. What was the setting in the video?

We are going to be writing a setting description of the underwater world inside the washing machine. 

 

Watch the video again from 0:52-1:17 can you list all of the characters and settings you see for example I spotted fish that are made of socks and turtles made of hats. 

 

Your job today is to gather vocabulary to describe the underwater world. You can create expanded noun phrases and choose appropriate verbs to describe. As an extra challenge I have used adverbs too!

 

 

Use this verb bank to help you:

Tuesday
WALT: write a description using our senses to describe

 

When we write a setting description it is important to think about all of our senses so that it makes the reader feel like they are really there.

 

Watch the video again. Can you write what you might be able to see, hear, taste, touch or smell. For example I could touch the slimy seaweed or taste the salty sea. 

 

Today you are going to use the vocabulary you collected yesterday to write your own description the underwater setting in the film. What word types can you spot in my setting description?

 

 

Did you find:

Adjectives/ Expanded Noun Phrases

Nouns

Verbs

Adverbs

 

 

Wednesday

WALT: sequence events using time adverbials. 

 

What were the main events in the film? Can you put them in the right order? 
Use time adverbials (time words) to help you.

 

 

Can you create a story map or write sentences starting with a time word to tell me the key events in the film?

Thursday and Friday

WALT: write a story using first person

 

You will be writing in role today, becoming the character in the story and writing about what happened. 

 

Read my story below: 

 

If you fancy a challenge, you could write your story all the way to the end where the lady escapes from the shark trousers! I look forward to reading all your lovely stories.

Topic

(Choose 1 activity to do each day)

 

Watch the video below, ask a parent to help you read the information. We are hunting for facts about pirates. 

 

What jobs would a Pirate do?

 

Take a look at the job descriptions below. Which job would you like to do on board a pirate ship?

You could research a little bit more about the jobs pirates did with a parent. Choose your favourite job and fill out a job application form! 

You could take it in turns with an adult to carry out an interview. This is where the Captain would ask you lots of questions to see if you would be good at the job.

Pirates love treasure! Why not grow your own precious crystals? You don't even need to bury this treasure to keep it safe because you can eat them! Don't forget to ask an adult to help you.

Pirates aren't afraid of getting wet! Whilst the weather is lovely outside, why not have a go at this fun game!
