English:
Today we are finally going to read our new story! Watch using the link below.
Who are the characters in the story? Can you draw and describe them for me?
Reception – draw the characters and write a label i.e. blue, furry, scary.
Year One – draw the characters and write 5 sentences for each one using an adjective to describe, i.e. The monster has green fur.
Year Two – draw the characters and write 5 sentences for each one using an expanded noun phrase to describe, i.e. The monster has fluffy, green fur. Don’t forget to use a comma to separate your adjectives.

Spellings:
From next week we will have an online spellings test through Teams on Friday so here are your words for then:
Year One: here, there, where, friend, school
Year Two: after, again, any, bath, beautiful
Reading:
Reception – log on to Oxford Owl and read Big Feet. Can you draw around the feet of all the people who live in your house? Whose feet are the biggest and whose are the smallest?
Year One – log onto Oxford Owl and read Leek Hotpot and complete the online activities.
Year Two – log onto Oxford Owl and read The Frog Prince and complete the online activities.
Geography:
Year One and Two – We are basing our geography this half term on the book ‘Where the Wild Things Are.’ Today’s key question is, how can we find our way to a place we have never visited?
Once you have watched, or read the story, can you consider: how did Max travel to the island? Create a simple map for Max to follow to get to the Wild Things. Use paper with gridlines or draw your own. Draw your own compass with the four points in the corner of your map so that Max knows he is going the right way. What natural features will Max travel through on his way to the Wild Things? I will look forward to seeing your maps. Please do colour them in too as it makes them look so much clearer when you send them over to me too.
Year Two – Now you have drawn your maps and set the path, can you use your compass directions to write a route for Max to follow?
There is a nice video from the BBC on maps that I’ve added to help you out a little bit more.

End of the day. I’ll schedule a quick Teams call with everyone to see how the week has gone so far. Reception yours will be at 2:30pm, Year One at 2:45pm and Year Two at 3:00pm. I hope you can all attend as it was lovely to see some of you online today.
Maths:
Reception – can you try to make 5? How many ways can you make this? Can you use objects or draw shapes to do this? Remember to use all numbers from 0 to 5.
There are some lovely ideas here if you need some maths inspiration:

Year One and Two – today we are finding and making number bonds. Remember a number bond is a pair of numbers that when added together make a total. So 1 + 4 = 5, 2 + 3 = 5 and so on.

Don’t forget there are Teams meetings scheduled for the end of the day to check how you have all gotten on this week. I hope to see you all then. Please check your Class Dojos for times.
