there in each group?”

Monday - Can you brainstorm words
to describe a woodland scene?
Look at the woodland images (or think
about a recent woodland walk) and discuss what you can see. Listen to an excerpt from a woodland
soundtrack and talk about what you can hear.
Use any available resources, e.g. coloured
pencils, pens, crayons, scrap or natural materials, to create a picture of a wild
woodland setting, imagining what it would be like to live there.
Brainstorm words or phrases to describe the
setting and record these for Wednesday’s session, e.g. golden leaves,
twisted branches, wind rustling in the trees. Use your sounds to help you write the words
you think of.
Tuesday - Handwriting
Write each tricky word 3 times using your
best pre-cursive handwriting.

Wednesday - Can you write a short
narrative to describe a woodland scene?
Look at the wild woodland picture you created
on Monday. Re-read the descriptive
words and phrases written about the scene.
Write a short paragraph to describe the scene. Think about what you can see, hear, smell
and feel.
** Remember,
sentences need capital letters, full stops and finger spaces. **
Thursday - Reading comprehension
Choose one of the texts below based on your
reading level and try to answer the questions.
Friday - Can you write a poem
about living in a woodland?
Free Verse poems have no rhyming structure and often don't
have a particular rhythm or syllable pattern; as their name suggests, they’re
simply 'free'.
They can be written by individuals, but also
work well as collaborative poems, where members of a small group add
individual lines – why not try writing a family poem with different members
adding lines!
Alternatively, an acrostic poem takes
a word related to the theme and spells it vertically. Each line starts with a letter of the word.
Here are some examples
to hopefully inspire you!

Daily Tasks
Letters
and Sounds are now doing daily live phonics lessons. These will take place Monday-Friday at
10.30am for Year 1 and at 11am for children who may need a little extra help
with their sounds and blending. There are
useful videos available now to introduce the programme and explain how we teach
phonics.
Remember
that on a daily basis, we also expect children to read a book/use Bug Club to
develop reading skills.
In
addition, if you are a Lexia user, you can continue to use this from
home.
