Good morning, Grayling 1! Join us today for Mrs. P’s English lesson at 9am and Mrs Huelin’s phonics at 11am. We have a catch-up session at 1:45 where you can share your work, stories and silly jokes! Keep scrolling down for today’s history activity, plus details for English and phonics in case you miss the live sessions.
English
Last week we started reading Rapunzel by Bethan Woolvin which is a lovely alternative version of the story. Today we are going to read on.
If you are unable to join the live session at 9am today then please watch this video.
Then see if you can order the pictures on this sheet, number them 1-8 then cut them out and stick them in your red book. You will need two pages. Stick the first 4 in the blank space of one page and the second 4 in the blank space of the second page. Underneath start to write a sentence to go with each picture. If you don’t have a printer you could draw the pictures instead.

Keep it neat, cut out carefully, stick in neatly and when you write your sentence remember to leave finger spaces and start each sentence with a capital letter and end with a full stop. Also remember to use a capital letter for Rapunzel as it is a name!
Here is one that I started. If your child finds writing a bit tricky you could make the sentences simpler than the one in the photo e.g.
- Rapunzel was trapped in the tower.
- The witch brushed her hair.
Phonics
If you can’t join in with our live session at 11 then please watch Lesson 9 of the Year 1 Spring Term lessons where you will learn how wh can make the w sound. For example in words like wheel and whistle.

History
LESSON 2
In this lesson, you will continue to learn about some of the ways in which popular music has changed over the last 60 years. You will learn how the ways in which people listen to music have changed over time and will look more closely at MP3 players and smartphones. We will then listen to some songs from singers and groups from the 1990s to 2020s.
HEADS UP FOR TOMORROWS SCIENCE SESSION
Tomorrow there will be an experiment to try at home. You will need to get ready 1 or some of the materials from this list. Playdough, hay or straw, twigs or lolly sticks, sugar cubes, plastic bricks and some glue or tape. If you do not have these materials, you can watch the lesson and record your observations of the experiment.
