Thursday 9th January 2025 - home learning

Good morning Red Foxes!

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 could turn into a bird for the day, which bird would you be? Why?

Mrs Phillips would turn into a robin because they are her favourite bird and help brighten up the dullest of days. They make me happy when I see them in my garden. 

Guided Reading

Please read the short extract 'Bigfoot and the Wild Boys' and answer the reading domain based on prediction. 

Spellings

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

Please put these words that you practised yesterday into your own sentences. If you are struggling to understand the meaning of the words, you can use 'Word Hippo' to check the definitions. Word Hippo is something we use quite often in class.

English
