10:00 - 10:30 - English - Writing

 

To be able to write an exclamation sentence.

 

Learning Chunk 1

 

Think back to your virtual trip to the zoo yesterday and have a look at the zoo picture from the text. 

 

 

Think back to the sounds you gathered yesterday and create a list of onomatopoeic sounds: roar, hiss, squeak, growl, chirp, chatter, snort....

 

Here is my chunk: Roar! Roar! Roar! The animals were noisy at the zoo.

 

You could deepen the moment by adding more detail to the noises they were making - who was making the noises, in what enclosures were they making the noises? 

 

Learning Chunk 2 - here we are going to use alliteration

 

What animals can you see in the picture? - lions, snakes, monkeys, cheetahs, tigers, panthers, spiders, butterflies....

 

Gather alliterative words to describe the various animals:

 

lazy lions, slithering snakes, mischievous monkeys, pouncing panthers, sneaking spiders, beautiful butterflies etc...

 

Here is my sentence: The terrifying tigers sheltered under the trees. 

 

You could deepen the moment by adding more sentences to describe what the animals are doing in the zoo. Try to use alliteration in each sentence. 

 

Learning Chunk 3 - here we are going to write our exclamation.

 

What is an exclamation sentence? Look through the information below. 

Gather a list of negative exclamations: What a mess! What a disaster! What a catastrophe! What a hullabaloo! 

 

Here is my sentence: What a hullabaloo!

 

You could deepen the moment by adding more information and more exclamations to describe what has gone wrong as they follow the hat through the zoo.

This term we are learning about Animals Including Humans

Today we are learning:

To know that animals have offspring that grow into adults.

Animals and plants are both living organisms.

Last term we explored and grouped living, dead and never alive objects.

How do we know if something is living? moves, grows, eats …

 

There are 7 life processes that all living things do.

MRS GREN can help us to remember them.

 

Today we are beginning to think about one of the life processes ‘reproduction’. To reproduce means to make more of … if animals and plants couldn’t make more of themselves they would become extinct like the dinosaurs.

Animals, including humans, have offspring which grow into adults. (Offspring is the science word for baby)

In humans and some animals, these offspring will be young, such as babies or kittens, which grow into adults. In other animals, such as chickens or insects, there may be eggs laid that hatch to young or other stages which then grow to adults.

 

• WATCH - African animals and their young.

 Make careful observations. What do the offspring look like? What is the offspring called?

• Do you know the group of animals the lions and giraffes belong too? mammals
• Do all animals give birth to live young like mammals?
• Do all animals look like their parents? The young of some animals do not look like their parents e.g. tadpoles.

 

• WATCH the videos (secondary sources) to answer our questions.
