English 29.04.2020

I am going to start a new book with you, just like we do in English at school. We read this book very slowly together, sometimes not even reading words! I am not showing the front cover yet but just some of the pictures inside. This is a picture of the pages before the story starts.

We can see lots of pumpkins.

What do you know about pumpkins?

What time of year do we use pumpkins to celebrate?

What would you like to know about pumpkins?

Have you read a story about pumpkins before?

Why do you think there is a pumpkin in this story?

English-writing instructions

Yesterday, one of the class drew the instructions to make my wrap pizza.

Could you write the instructions to go with each image? Remember to include a verb in each instruction.

Verbs, verbs are doing words.

sprinkle, spread, put, slice

Send your instructions to me via email or type them in to the comment box below.

Here is the video again to remind you:

English 07.04.20-Text Map Video

Here is the video of me showing you the actions to go with the text map for instructions. Can you chant it everyday with me?

Watch the video of me making pizzas at home. Could you use the story map to write the instructions that I used to make my pizza?

One day this week you could make your own lunch.

 

Writing Instructions

Now you are getting the hang of using the blog, I am going to set you an English task each day too. I am really proud of the way you children are getting on with your learning at home. If you have not emailed me or commented on the blog, I do not know that you are doing your work. Send me an email or comment below so I know how you are all getting on. Missing you all lots!

Now, your English task today. A while ago we learnt about writing instructions and we looked at instructions about how to plant a sunflower.

Then we made a text map so that we could remember all the important parts for instruction writing.

Can you chant the model text using the text map? I will upload a video of me chanting the model text to help you.

Remember that the subheadings are small titles to help organise the non-fiction (information) writing.

At the end of the week, you will be writing your own instructions after making yourself some lunch.
