This week we are going to be finding out about wolves.

Your first job is to think about what you would like to find out about them? Have you always wondered what wolves really eat or where they live? Please think of 2 questions you would like to learn about wolves. Write them into your red book as full sentences using capital letters and what do you need at the end for a question?

Next please watch this video about wolves. We are trying to find out some new facts so either note down some of the facts you hear, ask an adult to record the facts you hear or you could draw some little pictures to help you remember the facts for later.

You might not have found out all the answers to the questions you wanted to know so you could now go to google kids https://www.safesearchkids.com/google-kids/#.YBrIAiuTLrc

and type in the questions you wanted to ask and note down the answers. Or even read about wolves in some books or information pages online. https://www.coolkidfacts.com/wolf-facts/

Now  we would like you to record some facts about wolves that you have found out, please write in full sentences. Keep these facts safe as you will need these and some of the other facts you have discovered for our Thursday English lesson.

Safer Internet Day

Safer Internet Day 2021 is being celebrated across the UK today.

With such a huge shift to remote learning and time spent on the internet, teaching our children about how to stay safe online has never been so important.

The theme of Safer Internet Day this year is about children learning how to tell the difference between fact and fiction and whether they can always trust what they see online.

In school we will be having a look at this assembly story:

Please also have a look at the first video clip on the link below which can spark a discussion about the following questions:

What can we trust or not trust? How do we know? How can I check it out? What do I do if I am worried?
