Mrs Wells’ Group:  

Today, we would like you to write some sentences using verbs ending in –ing or –ed. This week, you have come up with loads of different verbs and added these suffixes to change the tense of them. Today, you are going to be using your colour semantics to help you.  

Remember, our sentences have to have: 

Have a look at Miss Cook’s example below. She has chosen some of her colour semantics to help her form the sentences.  

The giraffe is dancing to music in the zoo on his birthday. 

The giraffe danced to music in the zoom on his birthday. 

Using the colour semantics below, you need to create your own sentences and then write them as –ing verbs and –ed verbs like Miss Cook has. Be careful as some of the verbs change when we put them in the past tense. 

Handwriting: 

Watch Miss Johnson’s handwriting video, we have looked at this video before but I think it is a particularly hard one. Once you have practised the joins, think of some words with the sounds in and write them out too. 

 

Art:  

This week, we have been learning all about deforestation and the impact it has on the world, people and animals. In art today, we would like you to design a ‘save the rainforest’ poster encouraging people to stop deforestation. You can use any materials or art resources you have at home. For example, you might use colouring pencils, paint, watercolours, pastels, collaging materials, recycled materials.  

Please see some ideas below. 

Don’t forget to send us a picture of your poster to advice@mapledeneschool.com so Miss Johnson and I can see them!

Today, we would like you to think about all the happy moments in your life. Can you think of 6 events that have happened that make you feel happy, excited or put a smile on your face? Write them down on a piece of paper.  

These events could include; the birth of a family member (e.g. brother, sister, cousin etc.), a family celebration (e.g. wedding, christening, birthday party etc.)  

Now put these into order based on when they happened. You want the first event that happened to go first, and the last event last with the others in order in the middle.  

Today, you are going to be putting these events onto a timeline of your life. You are going to be using either photos you can find of these events from around the house or drawings of these events to create your timeline. Please see Mr Murphy’s example below. You can see that the image of his first bike appears earlier in the timeline than when he came to Mapledene school, because my timeline is in “chronological” order. Bonus points if you can include dates. 

Have a go at creating your own version using the timeline template below.
