Willow Class: Week Beginning 29/06/20

Hello Willow Class, hope you are all well and enjoying the home learning packs! I am missing you all dearly and it has been lovely to hear from some of you and the brilliant things you have been doing at home! This week’s theme is dinosaurs! The children will be learning about fossils and even having a go at creating their own fossils at home. It would be brilliant if you can continue to send me in some pictures of what you are getting up to at home, so I can share the photos on twitter and the children can see what their friends are up to!

Miss Brittain 😊

Reading: Make sure your child is reading regular to an adult and read to them too! You can still use AR at home, just type the name of book and it should come up! Here are some great questions and activities that you could use with any book to help develop your child’s comprehension skills:

Can you draw a character from the book and label it with words to describe their physical appearance and their personality, using information from the text?

How is the character feeling? How do you know? Encourage them to use the text to justify.
