Good morning. I hope you are all okay and managed to get outside and do something in the snow yesterday. Here are today’s learning tasks. Our Teams meeting today is for Guided Reading and will be at 11:00 for everybody. Please make sure your mics are muted as you will all be online together. I hope you can join me as I have a special request for you to complete by the end of the day involving an online visitor to our class.

English
Reception: Can you make a jungle for Ran Tan? Have a look online and see what the rainforest where he would like will look like. You could paint a rainforest, create one out of 3d objects or even craft one through junk modelling. I look forward to seeing your amazing creations online.
Years One and Two: see if you can answer these questions about Ran Tan. Remember that a sentence needs a capital letter, finger spaces between word and a full stop at the end. Try to use the word ‘because’ in your sentences too.
Guided Reading
Whole Class – Teams session at 11:00am.
Geography
Linking nicely with English, we are looking at What is a Rainforest?
Watch the BBC video below to learn what a rainforest habitat is like. Then take the quiz to see how much you can remember.

Watch the powerpoint on the Tropical Rainforest. Can you create your own rainforest scene showing which animals live in the different layers. Use a piece of paper placed landscape and create sky and land, remember to add the different sorts of trees needed to create a landscape. Please add colour to make it stand out. Then use the attached sheet, or draw and add the animals to the correct layer.
