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.

Reading this week. Your own e-books!

Palm Sunday

Yesterday we celebrated Palm Sunday. It is the day we remember Jesus riding on a donkey in to town. Many people knew that he was the son of God but some people did not. We know this day as a happy day. It is the first day in Holy Week.

There is a song we normally sing in school a lot this week. Could you practise this song at home. Your parents could record you singing and send it to my email so I can put it on the blog 🙂

This week is more important than the lead up to Christmas. Keep following Mr Davis’ blog to help guide your prayers this week.

Parents-If we were at school, we would be moving on to multiplication and division. This is exactly what the children will be doing at home by using this link and the games I post each day. It may not look like standard multiplication and division but these small steps will help your children succeed when presented with more formal methods in the future.
