Reading outdoors

 Thursday 4.3.21

Good morning Peregrine! :)

At the weekend, Mr Whisker and I went for a very long walk and noticed many more signs of spring including hares pairing up, a wasp and lambs, three of which followed us right across a field bleating for food!

How many signs of new life can you spot during your time outdoors today?

Our English session today will mark World Book Day in a different way, but we will be celebrating it in our usual manner in the future as promised by Mr Watson. SO -

I have recorded readings of two of my favourite books for you to listen to and enjoy:

Listen to Book One

Listen to Book Two

Now I would like you to think about one of your favourite books and write a book review that shows why you like it so much and encourages other people to read it. Use this template to share your thoughts.

Next I would like you create a character description from your chosen book. You will need to draw the character first, then annotate it with characteristics - remember these should be more about the way your character behaves, thinks and feels and less about the appearance.

Here are images of my two character descriptions to help you:

I am so looking forward to reading your book reviews and character descriptions - please send them in!

Finally, share your book, or excerpts from it, with a family member - see if you can persuade them to read it too!

Today, we are going to continue our French unit, 'Cher Zoo', which looks at learning the names of zoo animals, some of the adjectives to describe zoo animals and the use of past tense to recount a zoo visit. 

• Firstly, remind yourself of the book by listening to 'Cher Zoo' or by reading 'Cher Zoo' on this PowerPoint. 
• Now, have a go at these animal adjectives activities.

R.E

Our RE unit for this half term is looking at 'What happened after the resurrection?' We will be discussing the events after the resurrection and the feelings of those involved. What Christian values did Jesus show? What can we learn from Jesus' actions after the resurrection?

• Today, we are just going to focus on the events that led up to Jesus' crucifixion. 
• Look at this PowerPoint of 'The Easter Story' to remind yourself of the events. 
• Now, have a go at putting these sentences in the correct order on this storyboard.
