English
Learning Objective: I can predict what might happen next.
We have an exciting new text to look at today, which is all about some arctic animals! It is called 'Poles Apart' by Jeanne Willis and it is illustrated by Jarvis. Let's take a look...
Activity
What do you think might happen in the story?
Let's take another look at how it began...
As everyone knows, penguins are found at the South Pole and never at the North Pole. At least, not until the day...
Think about...
Look closely at the illustration from the book. What else can you see?
Discuss your ideas with an adult or sibling then write down your ideas.
You could begin with 'I think the story will be about...' or write a list.
Keep your ideas safe! We will be looking at them in more depth tomorrow!
Phonics
Learning Objective: I am learning about alternative pronunciations ('ch' as 'sh').
This week, we will continue learning about alternative pronunciations. On Friday, we looked at 'ch' sounding like 'c'. But did you know that it has ANOTHER pronunciation?! Let's find out more by heading over to BBC Teach...

Activity One
We know that words with 'ch' can sometimes sound like 'c' and 'sh'. Practice reading these words here...
... then sort the words into the corresponding sounds.
Activity Two
Select a word with each sound and write it in a sentence. Remember to make sure that your sentences make sense and that they have the correct spellings. Then read your sentences out loud.
Don't forget, you can head over to www.phonicsplay.co.uk and practice all of our Phase 5 alternative pronunciations by playing 'Cheeky Monkeys' or 'Acorn Adventures'. Just use the following information to sign in... Login: jan21 Password: home
RE
Learning Objective: I am learning about Christianity.
This afternoon, we will be continuing our whole-school Christianity project.
Just follow this link...
Music
Learning Objective: I am exploring and responding to different music.
Last week, we learnt about Antonio Vivaldi who created a piece of music called 'The Four Seasons'. We listened to one part of this song called 'Spring' then created some pictures to show how it made us feel. To look at some examples, head over to BBC Teach... https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/bring-the-noise/thunder-jam-weather/zk6pxyc
We all agree that 'Spring' is full of lots of energy, much like the season Spring itself. This is reflected in the pictures that we created. However, not all of the sections are like this...
Activity
You will need a piece of paper and some colouring pencils.
First of all, divide a piece of paper into four sections. You can do this by folding it and then opening it out again. I would like you to listen to the entire piece of music 'The Four Seasons' by Antonio Vivaldi. I have attached the video for you below. As you listen to the music, think about the following questions...
Then draw on each section of your paper a picture for each section of the song. You could even include words explaining how each section makes your feel, for example: happy, peaceful, angry, sad.
