Can you find the j sound in any of the words in your reading books?

Spelling

Read your Year 1 and 2 common exception word sheet.  Choose 1 to write 10 times that you find tricky.  Maybe you could write it on a piece of paper and put it somewhere where you will see it for a few days.  Every time you go past it you can say the sound read the word.

English

This week we are going to create and write our own dragon factfiles using the information we learnt in science and the dragon we created on Wednesday in Topic.  Fact files are sentences about something which gives you information. 

e.g    

Today we are going to write some statement sentences about our dragon.

In science we learnt about different animals  What did you decide a dragon would be?  Write this as a statement sentence.  Did you decide reptile?     amphian?    bird?

In science we learnt about Herbivores, Carnivores and Omnivores.  Decide which your dragon is going to be and tell me what it eats in your second sentence and why.

e.g.  Mrs Cottle try

The Ruby Red Fire Dragon  is a  small reptile with scaly skin and powerful wings.  It is a omnivore and likes to eat ants, beetles and woodlice which it heats using its fiery breathe.  The Ruby Red Fire Dragon loves worms because they have a crunchy inside.

The underlined bits are changeable to anything you want the funnier or stranger the better.

Remember you can make it be what every you want from huge to tiny, from herbivore to carnivore eating and drinking what ever you decide.

Great creating tomorrow we will write some more

What do you notice?
