Handwriting and Spellings

Learning Objective: To read quickly and accurately, words that have alternative sounds.

Again, I have done the date incorrectly. Remember to put May instead of April. Sorry!

English

Learning Objective: (reading) To listen to and appreciate different poems.

Look at the illustrations on these two pages. Can you think of some superlative adjectives to describe the pumpkin?

Remember that superlative adjectives end in ‘est’ like smallest.

Have you ever eaten pumpkin before? Can you describe what it tastes like? Did you like it? If you liked it you would describe it with adjectives like tasty, soft, delicious. If you didn’t like it you would use adjectives like salty, disgusting or sour.

Read the poem below:

The poet who wrote this poem is called Jack Prelutsky.

Do you think he likes spaghetti? Can you work it out from the poem? How?

Challenge:

Can you write a short poem (shorter than Spaghetti Spaghetti) about you eating pumpkin? Remember to include adjectives to describe whether you liked it or not.

Here’s some captions to help you:

  • squishier than a rotten potato
  • the smoothest vegetable
  • sweeter than a strawberry
  • the stringiest thing I’ve ever eaten

As you are learning about plants, I thought you might like to watch Mrs O’Brien’s new video. The KS2 children were given sunflowers to grow and KS1 children were given cress seeds to grow.

Tell me three things you have learnt about sunflowers from Mrs O’Brien’s video. In the first chapter she talks about the different parts of plants and why they are important.

How are your cress seeds getting on? Remember to take lots of pictures and record what is happening in your Cress Diaries.

Learning Objective: To read quickly and accurately, words that have alternative sounds.

Thank you to Hiyab who has spotted that I have written April! It is May, I am very sorry!

English

Learning Objective: To add suffixes (er and est) to words.

This is the last page that we read together.

It was fatter than the pigs.

The pumpkin had grown taller than the fence.

The words fatter and taller both have ‘er’ at the end. We use the suffix ‘er’ to help us to compare.

Mrs Winston is shorter than me.

Azealia is taller than Anastasia.

Can you write sentences with comparative adjectives. There are some adjectives below for you to use. Remember to add ‘er’ to the end to make them comparative ones.

big, nice, long, high, small, warm, happy

When we compare things we need to explain what is the most. The suffix we use for this is ‘est’.

Miss Barr is the happiest in the class.

It is warmest  at lunchtime.

You will see that when a word ends in ‘y’ like happy, you have to take it off and change it for an ‘i’ before adding your suffix:

happy –> happier

happy –> happiest.

Can you use the same adjectives to write sentences with superlative adjectives? Just add ‘est’ to make it a superlative.

big, nice, long, high, small, warm, happy

I can’t wait to see your sentences!
