Good morning Metis class and welcome back after half term. I hope you have had a lovely break and have spent sometime outdoors but still keeping safe.

We are starting a brand new topic this term all about TOYS!

Soundswrite:

As with every lesson, let's start by recapping all the sounds we have learnt - please say the sounds along with the video as you normally would at school.

English:

This term in English we are going to be learning about instructions. We have learned a bit about instructions and algorithms in computing last term - remember an instruction is when you tell someone to do something. 

Today I want to see what you know about instructions so please can you write set of instructions on:

How to make a cheese sandwich.

Challenge: Can you read and follow your instructions to make a cheese sandwich for lunch (if you don't have cheese in the fridge choose a different filling).

Spellings:

In your packs you will find a sheet with lots of spellings on. Please can you read as many spellings out loud as you can.

Today I would like you to practice these spellings:

Do you have any toys that look like the ones on the front cover?
