Home Learning Plans

Oak Class

Week Beginning: Monday 30^rd March

Hellooooooo Oak Class!

I hope you are all settling into life at home for a while and don’t miss me too much! 

While you are at home, I want you all to continue learning so your brains don’t rust BUT I also want you to have fun. Each weekly plan contains the MAXIMUM amount of work I would expect you to do – don’t stress if you can’t get everything done.

This set of plans is to last you until after the Easter holidays.

The work on the Wider Curriculum is to last you two weeks and you don’t have to do absolutely everything. Also, if you have some better ideas, do those instead.

I would love it if you would share some of the things you have been creating with me so I can see how you are all getting on. My email is: oak@st-barnabas.kent.sch.uk

Sending lots of love to you all!

Miss Mercer

Reading:

• Read chapters 13-16 of The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas (PDF attached in folder) and answer the questions for each chapter from The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas workbook. Also, let me know what you think of the book. Have you worked out what ‘Out With’ and ‘The Fury’ are yet?
• Complete two of the challenges from The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas challenge cards.
• Complete the non-fiction reading practise paper – answers are included. Check through ONCE YOU HAVE FINISHED to see how you did.
• When completing guided or supported reading of an age appropriate text, focus on factual recall. Use the factual section of this questioning tool to generate questions to ensure that your child has fully understand what they are reading.

For example:

-When did the character go to the shops?

-What did they do next?

-Who is in the shop?

-Where are the characters going?

Spag:

Complete the spag practise paper in the folder.

Writing:

Over the Easter holidays I would like you to keep a journal of what you have been up to. You could do this as a written or you could use the Purple Mash 2Blog to create a digital journal. When you are writing I would like you to focus on your writing targets. Are you someone that needs to focus on ensuring your work is in sentences with full stops and capital letters? Do you need to work on including colons and semi-colons in your work? Do you need to work on adding detail and description to your writing? Choose the target that you feel is most appropriate for you and focus on including it in your journal
