Good morning everyone,

I hope you are all well and having a good week so far. Our learning today is as follows;

• Literacy - Traction Man Character Description
• Maths - please see your Year 1 and Year 2 separate pages
• Science - Materials and Journeys
• Remember to join Joe Wicks or to make sure you have some week- being or exercise time too! 😀⛹🏻

To start our day I thought it would be lovely to share a couple of our resurrection crosses with you. I will also do this more often with other fabulous pieces of work we do, as I know that you will not see work that is emailed to me. 

Literacy work - Traction Man Character Description

Today we are going to put our character description ideas into sentences inside our 'Lift the Flap Books'. You will need your ideas from yesterday and your lift the flap book. You may like to ask a parent to rule lines inside the flaps to help you do your very best handwriting. 

Year 1's I am looking for;

• Clearly written sentences punctuated with a capital letter and full stops.
• Use capital letters for the names of the characters.
• Use an exclamation mark ! if you say something funny.
• Join two ideas together in a sentence by using the word 'and'.
• Extra challenge; give reasons for what you say by using the work 'because'.

Year 2's in addition to the above I am looking for...

• use several adjectives or ideas in a list and separate them with a comma. Remember, the comma comes after each word in a list except the one that comes before the word 'and'. I enclose a video below to remind you.
• use apostrophes in contraction words such as can't, doesn't, won't...
• Extend your sentences with words that give reasons or explanations for what you have said. For example, or, but, so, because, when, if...
• Proof read your work as you go along to check for key spellings, and all of the above.

Science Materials for Journeys

Today we will think about what materials some of the items we take on our journeys are made from. Year 1, you will name the materials and describe them. Year  2 I would like you to take it a step further and  think and explain why the objects have been made out of that material, so you will be thinking about the properties of the material.
