Monday 30th March

Hi Boys and Girls,

As you are now aware, the school building is currently closed and we have moved to a Virtual School. We do however require you to continue working at home. You may complete these any way you feel is best suited for you, however, printing them off and sticking them into a book could be an easy option for you.

If you need clarification with absolutely anything please just email your class teacher during the hours of 7:25am- 2pm.

We are ready to get Zoom up and running and will send out details shortly on how to log in, how to join a live chat session with your teacher and the times these will take place.

Independent Work

Please think carefully about your starting point and what works for you individually. If you feel you have mastery of the first task move directly into the second or third as you would normally do in the groups you work in daily in maths.

English

This term our focus is Diary writing. To start this off, please read Wilbur’s Diary extract and complete ‘Never Heard the Word’ vocabulary grid. You have completed these grids before as part of our Poetry unit.

Dear Diary, 

You would not believe the day I have had! It has been like a yo-yo.  

It began like any ordinary day. Waking from my slumber, I trotted over to my wooden trough filled with juicy grub and tucked in to my delicious breakfast. Overjoyed, my face lit up when I realised there were some potato skins in there (My favourite)!  

Once I finished, I wandered aimlessly around the pigpen. Bored out of my mind, I thought I would talk to the goose. She couldn’t play; however, she did say, “there’s a broken fence panel.” As I had nothing else to do, I went to investigate. I shoved the loose panel with my snout. I stepped through the fence. Freedom! Cautiously, I started to explore. I spotted a large orchard in the distance, which was filled with colourful apples.  

Mrs Zuckerman spotted me with her beady eyes and hollered to Mr Z “The pigs out of the sty!” With that, I took off like a rocket. With my heart beating like a drum, I sprinted as fast as I could. The stupid dog with the floppy ears, tried to take a chunk out of me! However, I managed to avoid him. Seeing that I was flustered the goose started barking orders “down the path!” She spoke so quickly I couldn’t understand what she was saying! I was trapped. 

I followed them back in to the pen. Once there, I nuzzled into my fresh straw and rested. My day was rather chaotic, but it won’t be happening again because Lurvy nailed the fence shut. I’ll write again tomorrow. 

Wilbur.
