Literacy LO: To be able to write a diary entry.
Yesterday we looked at the story of ‘The Mixed-Up Chameleon’. Can you remember what happened in the story? What it a fiction or non-fiction text? What were the main events of the story? Who were the main characters?
We are going to write a diary entry from the perspective of the Chameleon. Watch the power point about writing a diary.
Show version of a Dear Diary example. We wrote diary entries in Term One where we write a diary about what we did during the summer holidays. Do you remember the important things to remember when writing a diary entry? Do we write in the first or third person? Past or present tense?
Activity
Challenge: Can you add thoughts and feelings to your diary? How did you (Chameleon) feel when you were at the zoo? How did you feel as the Polar Bear?
Resources: power point about a diary, Dear Diary example, Twinkl sorting past and present. Lined paper.
Maths
LO: To continue to use standard units (centimetres and metres).
Last week we looked at measuring using standard units in centimetres and metres. Today, we are going to learn how to use a ruler to measure more accurately in centimetres.
Can they find the numbers on the ruler? 5cm? Point and say the number. Remember to say cm as this is the unit that we are using to measure today.
Activity
Challenge: Make an estimate about what you think the length of the crocodile will be in cm. Measure the crocodiles and see if you were right or close. Write the answer in cm. Resources: variety of crocodiles to measure and compare.
Extra Challenge Can you compare the length of the crocodiles to something of a similar around the room? Support from an adult
PE Enrichment Watch and join in an exercise video on You Tube
Resources: Nature scavenger hunt

Maths - length LO: To measure more accurately using standard units (mm).
Yesterday we looked at how to measure small objects in cm using a ruler. Recap what you did by getting your child to explain what they did.
Today, we are going to be measuring more accurately by using mm. We often use mm to measure even smaller objects or to be more accurate.
Looking at the ruler together highlight that the mm that are inbetween the cm on the ruler. Count as a class how many mm are in a cm.
Activity
Order from smallest to biggest- pupils to take their own photos with a post- it note with the measurement on it. (With adult permission of course) Use a magnifying glass to see the mm measurement if it is too small to see! Make sure they are using the correct measurement vocab.
Challenge Can you use your ruler to draw a line to the correct length in both cm and mm? Can you draw a line to 7mm? 5cm? 9cm? Have some mm lines for them to measure too with support. Resources: Snakes to measure - mm lines for them to measure
Life skills LO: To continue to learn how to use the telephone (being polite)
We are going to be looking at how to be polite on the telephone, including greeting somebody by saying ‘hello’ and saying ‘goodbye’ at the end of the conversation. Why is it important to say hello and goodbye? How could it make somebody feel if you put the phone down before saying goodbye? (Link to the Zones of Regulation). Model a polite and not so polite telephone conversation. Say whether it was polite or not.
Make a simple toy phone using two plastic cups or yoghurt pots and string. Have a successful conversation over the telephone, remembering to greet the person that you are talking to and by saying goodbye at the end of the conversation. |
