Thursday 23rd April

Good morning everyone. How are you finding the home learning this week? I would like to share some very creative learning from Ariya and her sister. The city you made out of toilet rolls is brilliant and I love the potato hedgehog. Amira, I think Lydia and Eki would be really impressed with your arts and crafts too. Maddie also sent her lovely drawing of the 'Laugh A-lot Tree' using the description from the poem and she thought that green spaces are very important for us and animals. Well done both of you!

Reading

Today, I want you to watch and listen to the story 'Peep Plants a Seed.'  Then, have a go at answering the questions.
​

1. How do you know that Peep loved the flower a lot?

2. Why did Peep think the bird was hurting the flower?

3. What advice did the bird give Peep?

4. Why did the other birds (Quack and Chirp) walk away?

5. What do you think Peep learnt about planting?

Literacy

I hope you enjoyed reading the first page of our new story 'The tree of Life.' Today, I want you to find the meaning of some of the words we will come across in the rest of the story. Use this online dictionary link to find meaning of the words. Just type the words in the search bar.
