Friday 10th January 2025 - home learning

Happy Friday Otters!

Unfortunately, school remains closed today due to the icy conditions outside and it is not safe for you to travel to school. 

Here is your home learning for today - we will be checking you have completed the activities, including your online platforms.

Thinking Question

If you had to go and survive on a desert island for a year and you could only take 1 person with you, who would you take with you? It could be a family member, a friend or somebody famous, but I would like you to give me some reasons for your choice. 

Mrs Phillips' example

If I was going on a desert island for a year and I would need to survive, I would take Bear Grylls with me. My reasons for this choice is because he is famous for his survival skills in the wild. I think he would help me to stay alive by teaching me lots of new things like hunting for food and making a shelter. 

Guided Reading

Please read the short extract 'Ember Spark and the Frost Phoenix' and answer the reading domain based on the meaning of words. Use the text to help you with your answer but if you are struggling, you can use Word Hippo.

Spellings

We are looking at a new spelling rule this week using 'gu'. 

Read the sentences carefully and then add in the correct missing word. Some words might be new to you so you might choose to use Word Hippo if needed.

English

Because you know how much I love your storytelling skills, I would like you to use this image to create a story of your own. I would like you to include some key words within your story. These are words that we have focussed on in previous lessons in school.

Key words: ocean, storm, captain, menacing, cascading, encircling.

Important! For some reason, the videos appear in a random order. Make sure you watch the videos in this order, 1,4,3,2.
