Super star work!!!! Stars of the week will be announced in the fortnightly newsletter from Mrs Khine.
This half term our topic is 'Dragons and Castles'. This week you will receive a copy of the curriculum overview and new homework grid for this half term.
For the next few weeks we are learning how to write holiday brochures. Finishing with writing a holiday brochure for a castle. This week we are finishing our unit and writing our own holiday brochure for visiting Colchester Castle, remembering all that we have learnt.
Day 10 from the notebook slides
Watch the youtube video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibq_bWQDluQ
Look at the suffix 'est'. With the list of words on the slides and then add est to each of them. Now use these words in sentences to describe a castle. There are some examples on the slides to help.
Day 11 from the notebook slides
Today you will make a plan (use the document in files to help) for your own holiday brochure. How will you persuade people to visit the castle? What can they do? See? Remember to include expanded noun phrases, the suffix 'est', rhetorical questions, positive language. Some information about what they can see and do.
Day12
You can make your own brochure using plain paper or use the template in the slides. Write your headings for your holiday brochure and some pictures of the castle.
Day 13
Now use you plan to write your holiday brochure. Use your best handwriting, remember capital letters, full stops and conjunctions.
Day 14
Now go back and read your writing. Can you edit it? Are their any spellings you can correct? Add in more adjectives? Add in conjunctions? Have you missed out anything from your plan?
Practise your spellings, read you reading book and answer the questions at the back, practise the words at the front - can you spell them too?
Practise these Year 1 and 2 spellings, if you know them all can your write them into different sentences? Try painting them, making them out of stones, hiding them around the house, sticking them on post it notes to read around the house. Find them in your reading books. How creative can you be?
For the next few weeks we are learning about repeated addition and multiplication. .
