Tuesday 8^th February

Good morning.

Well done on all your brilliant learning yesterday. We love seeing your work up on SeeSaw so please keep sending it.

This week we are celebrating Dance Week with a whole school dance project. Mr Mears will teach us our routine and we hope to see everyone take part in school and at home. You can find the video on the gallery section of the class blog or click the link here. Try and practise every day and send in a 10 second video via Seesaw, no later than 12 noon on Thursday, so that we can include it in the whole school video!

Have a go at this breathing exercise before you start your learning today.

 

Here are your Tuesday facts to start your day:

• The sunset on Mars appears blue.
• Polar bears also have black skin under their glistening coat, which helps them soak up the Sun’s rays and keep warm.
• There are three different species of elephant – the African Savannah elephant, the African Forest elephant and the Asian elephant.

 

 

Reading

It is ESSENTIAL that children continue to read every single day. This should be for a minimum of 20 minutes.

 

Reading challenge - Find 5 words that you are not sure how to say or what they mean. If you already know what they mean, find 5 more that others will find tricky.

 

Resources for questioning your child while they are reading - VIPERS

 

Maths

This week we will be looking at changing adjectives to nouns by adding the suffix -ness.

 

-ness is one of a number of noun suffixes. It is used to make nouns from adjectives, although not every adjective can be modified in this way. Here are some common adjectives whose noun forms are made by adding -ness:

 

But remember, some are trickier!

When the word ends in a consonant and a y, we need to change the ‘y’ to an ‘i’ then add –ness

 

 

Please note - Not all adjectives can be made into nouns using "-ness." Typically, if an adjective is in its -er or -est form, "-ness" cannot be added: higher and highest cannot become higherness or highestness.

 

As we have seen, some nouns can be formed by adding the suffix -ness to adjectives. Please see the attached word search. The word search is hiding nouns formed using -ness, but the words at the bottom of the sheet are the adjectives. Can you turn the adjectives into nouns by adding -ness, then find the nouns in the word search?

 

French

Here’s a song to start to recap the names of some animals.

This link takes you to a lesson. Click start the tutorial to recap the words then there are 3 games which get progressively harder – yes/no, either/or then what is it?

If you’d like to do some more, click on the games tab at the top and choose a game to work on the same words.  Sow and Grow is very straightforward.

Here’s Old MacDonald again – slow the playback speed down to 0.5 at first. Try to join in, then speed it up to 0.75. Can you still keep up?
