Spellings

Here are our spelling words for this week.

English

This week we will be starting to explore adventure stories. Do you know what an adventure story is? Do you know any stories that have an adventure in them? Watch this short video https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zx339j6/articles/zgthrwx

Can you write a story that contains an adventure? – this will be your cold task (your ‘have a go’ story).

Look and read our model text – The Journey to the Lonely Mountain. What do you think of the text? What do you like about it? What do you dislike? Does it remind you of another story you have read? Do you have any questions about the text?

Begin to learn our model text – can you think of any actions to help you to remember the story?

This week we will be exploring rivers. What is a river and where do they come from? Can you name any of the rivers in the UK? Can you name the river that we have here in King’s Lynn?

Watch and complete this lesson.

When you have finished, can you name some of the rivers in the UK? Can you find these on a map? Which rivers would you need to cross if you were travelling from Land’s End to John O’Groats?
