Handwriting and Spellings
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!

Key words to listen out for

Write down any questions that you have about rivers and I will try to answer them in your next Geography lesson next week :).

Spelling test and English 08.05.2020
English
Learning Objective: To understand what is being read and make links to other stories.
Listen to me reading the first 3 double pages of the story and follow the words. Then listen again and take a good look at the illustrations.
We like to think about the books we are reading so I would like you to draw a ‘tell me’ grid in your books or on paper. Have a go at writing down (or ask your parents to write as you talk) the things you like and dislike about the book so far. Then think about anything that puzzles you (any questions you would like to ask) and whether the book reminds you of another story.
Grown ups or older siblings-if you are helping a child to do this task, the focus is on what they say rather than whether they can write it down. Feel free to write for them on this task as they can often say more than they can write down.
