Welcome to Thursday

Good Morning – I hope everyone has a fun day and this photo makes you smile.

Come Read with Me

Jordan sent Mrs Rodgers a photo on him reading on the trampoline – Where are you reading at home during ‘Come read with me’?

Shared Text

Perfect timing today as we explore the digraph ‘ch’ as after PE we are going to read a book called “Chickens aren’t the only ones” and the word chicken starts with a ‘ch’ sound.

‘Ch’ is a digraph In a consonant digraph, two consonants stand together to represent a single sound.

Let’s share the text

After reading the story the children looked at the pictures below as possible characters for their story during rocket writing.

These pictures are just ideas – you can write your story about any character you like 🙂

Or at home you might like to choose a favourite toy or find your own pictures online.

Before you start your story remember to begin with

Where and when (One day at the park – this sets the scene)

Then the next sentence is – Who (The little bunny went to play – this is about the character)

Then what happened

And then……..

Off you go – Now it is rocket writing time:

Remember this is a time to write – don’t worry too much about spelling words correctly. Just write down the sounds and letters that you know and leave a line to show that you are not sure if it is correct and then on to the next word. This is a time to build stamina in your writing. You all know lots of letters and sounds and words so now is the time to use them.

Remember use your high frequency word list and an alphabet chart to help. Happy Writing.

Today lets try and write 5 sentences.

After 30 mins of writing, you can draw a picture.

At the end of the writing time it is time to talk about the words they were unsure about.

I am looking forward to reading your stories.

PE

Home Learning: Do you have a ball at home to play with?

Ideas for home:

Throwing and catching a ball

Bouncing and catching a ball

Kicking the ball into a goal or towards a marker

Bunny hopping on one leg

Now try it on the other leg

Can you hop and bounce or throw a ball?

Shared Reading

Chicken’s Aren’t the only ones

What is inside these eggs – time to have a guess! What will hatch from these eggs?

Our thinking –

Emily – a dragon, kangaroo

Kalil – dragonfly, a wolf, a butterfly, parrots

Felipe – A baby bird, horse

Senay – a fox

Owen – a birds

Bibi – birds – kookaburra

Elnathan -meerkat and a lizard and a bunny, a goat

Please watch the story below (I did take photos of the book and uploaded but the text is not clear – they the picture can just be used as a reference when drawing the pictures for the lift the flap task)

Now what was in the egg – I will up load the photos when the children open the eggs in class.

Now it is time to make your own lift the flap book.

Title: What is inside the egg?

Hone Learning: You will need pencils, white paper and coloured paper. Fold a piece of A4 paper in quarter so we make a mini book. Cut out different coloured eggs and sticky tape one side down so it make a flap. Then draw an animal under the egg.

Read your book to your learning buddy or someone in your family.

Lunch

After lunch go for a walk and collect some sticks (At school we went to the edge of the oval). These sticks will be used to make a cross for one of our Easter provocations.
