English:

The new vocabulary we will be exploring in this book is:

• ridiculous
• boastful
• admiring
• magnificent
• careless

​What do these words mean?  Look them up in a dictionary to find the definitions.


Read first page, discuss with your family.

• What is the leopard like? Think about his appearance and personality.
  
• Can you spot any adjectives which describe him?
• Why do you think the other animals all ‘wished the drum belonged to them’?

Draw a picture of the leopard and label the picture with words to describe him.

Maths:
Please complete this lesson on BBC Bitesize - Counting on and back in 2s within 50
https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zkjv382

Phonics:
Which captions match each picture?  Look for the digraphs (two letters, one sound) to help you read the words.  These are all Phase 5 sounds, so there may be some split digraphs too, such as a_e (alternative ay sound).
​

PE:
Remember it is important to keep exercising... healthy body, healthy mind!  Try this 8 minute workout from Joe Wicks, or go for a walk/ run/ skip/ cycle.  Have a great day!
