It is THURSDAY again... HOORAY!

We are off school tomorrow for Bank Holiday Weekend so today is our Friday!

Weekly round up of spellings (including word of the week) and tables with short dictation sentence.

New wave English

New Wave Maths

BIG WRITE! We've enjoyed two days of a BIG WRITE this year and we thought of doing another.

Look for the photograph of the dogs sitting/lying in chairs.

Thought Sparkers (ideas for discussion with your grown up)!

Suppose the dogs could choose a holiday destination. Where do you think they would go?

Do you travel with your pet? What do you have to think about to make sure the trip goes smoothly for you and your pet?

Suppose these dogs could describe their bus trip. What do you think they would say?

Have you ever taken a long trip? What did you do to pass the time?

Activity

1. Write a title for this picture.
2. Write TWO paragraphs to go with the picture. Choose one of these beginnings to get you started...

• -I couldn't believe my eyes when I got on the bus and saw...
• ''Hey driver, how much further before...
• We were on a bus, on our way to...
• When we decided to go to the dog show, we had no idea that meant...

Remember to use your HIGH 5 (finger spaces, capital letters, wow words etc). Try to start each sentence with a different opener. Look at laminated sheet for examples. Also think of different joining words your sentences (are used to link one sentence to another). Try to avoid using and. Here are some examples... then, also, so, first, while, with, when, after, although, as a result, soon, because, if, however etc.

Please share your paragraph with me (Mrs Ewart) via email - gewart257@c2kni.net!

It would be lovely to read your work :-)
