Reflective Friday WB 31.5.21

What a busy week with lots of different learning opportunities, well done everyone! Please can we also take a moment to thank all the children and their supportive families for the challenges that we have faced at school this week. We are very grateful for your continued patience, support and understanding with learners in school and those Learning Together at Home.

Pictures to follow – hopefully technology allows!

Thanks for all Learning Stories so far – a final plea for any last ones to be returned as these will be coming home again soon! Thank you! 😊

Literacy

We have been learning to:

  • Spell unfamiliar words using our spelling rule – words with a short vowel and double consonant – e.g. puzzle.
  • Use accurate spelling of our new spelling rule words within passages and story contexts.
  • Create our own dictation challenges using our weekly spelling words.
  • Create our own word-search using accurate spelling.
  • Understand what a riddle is and how these can be used as effective Literacy techniques.
  • Analyse riddles as an aspect of poetry – consider different effective riddles to find how they are structured and successful – look carefully for parts such as rhyme, questions and clues.
  • Write our own riddles using the elements that make a riddle successful.
  • Prepare and present our writing to the class.
  • Listen, enjoy and engage with different stories and texts.
  • Find evidence in our reading texts to answer a variety of questions.
  • Use evidence from our reading to help us answer questions.
  • Consider how to use facts from different sources to display these in an engaging way.
  • Read for information and use this information to write an interesting fact-file.
  • Find out information from a range of sources and technologies to help us share facts with others.
  • Self- and peer-assess our learning.
