Good morning, everyone! Starting from today we’ll put all three jobs for the day in one post. Literacy is first then keep scrolling down for phonics and PE. Hope you enjoy today’s lessons!
Literacy
Today we are going to look at an alternative version of Rapunzel. Over the years many authors write new versions of old stories. They often change the story a bit – maybe changing the characters or where it is set but not enough for you not to recognise that it is still a traditional tale.
Look at the images below and talk to a grown up about them – using any questions below each image as a prompt for your discussion.
Follow up task
Can you make your own witch’s potion? You may want to encourage the children to go outside and to gather things from your garden to add to a ‘witch’s brew’. The following would work well added to water coloured with food colouring; dropped flowers, twigs, little stones and pebbles, unusual objects. The following things could be added if you have them in the home already to make a foaming potion! Bicarbonate of soda and vinegar, washing up liquid .
Sounds messy but lots of fun! If you would prefer a no mess option then talk about what you would put in your witches brew.
Whichever option you go for please draw your ingredients in the blank space on the page in your red book. Underneath write a list of your ingredients. Please try and add adjectives eg. ‘shiny stones’ and challenge yourself to write in sentences eg.
Drop in some tiny twigs.
Mix in some prickly pine cones.
I can’t wait to see your potion recipes later on today!
Remember to draw/colour and write as neatly as you would in school leaving spaces between your words and forming your letters correctly. Don’t forget capital letters at the beginning of your sentences as well! We would also prefer all colouring to be done with coloured pencils rather than felt tips. Thank you!
Phonics
