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 know all the number bonds to and within 10. Use them for related facts in addition and subtraction.

White Rose have taken down the question sheets for the free version but here are the questions below:
Watch the first chapter of our new book, George’s Marvellous Medicine.
Learning Objective: To read quickly and accurately, words that have alternative sounds.
Watch the video of me teaching you a new way to say a digraph that you already know.
Have a go at writing sentences using words containing ‘er’. Can you remember how to say it in each word? What is the rule?
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!
Let’s start the week with Andy’s Wild Workouts.
This is the final chapter of The Middler.
Find out how Maggie Middler becomes a hero and saves the day! I have really enjoyed reading this story for you. Let me know what you think in the comments below.
On Monday, I will start George’s Marvellous Medicine for you. It is by one of my favourite childhood authors, Roald Dahl.
Learning Objective: Name and locate the four countries of the UK, including characteristics of those places (rivers).
The largest river in the United Kingdom is the River Severn. Watch the video below showing you where the river starts, where it goes and where it finishes.
Key words to listen out for
Bank- the ground at the side of the river
Bed- the ground under the water of the river
Current- the flow of the river
Depth- how deep the river is
Erosion- the wearing away of rocks as the water and rocks rub together
Meander- a bend in the river
Mouth- where the river meets the sea
Source- where the river starts
Write down any questions that you have about rivers and I will try to answer them in your next Geography lesson next week :).
Only one more video to go after this one! I will post it tomorrow as a weekend treat. The next book starts on Monday but will it Georges Marvellous Medicine or Fantastic Mr Fox?
You decide!
There are some choices for your maths today.
