Can you draft and edit paragraph 2.  This starts at the clock chiming 8pm and should describe the frogs flying over the fields and arriving in a mysterious town.

 

Spellings

Yesterday we looked at this week's spelling words - words with the short vowel sound /i/ spelt with y. Today, complete the Word Map spelling activity - choose one of the words from the list.

 

Computing - eSafety

This week and next we will be looking at 'phishing', which means checking something is real online before we give away any of our personal information. We'll look at why it's important not to share our personal information with others online. Complete the 'Real or Fake' activity - this is in the PowerPoint for you, and think about what you would do in the scenarios given. This lesson is to take place over 2 weeks, so don't worry about trying to finish it all today.

 

Geography

Today we're looking at map symbols. Go through the PowerPoint that introduces you to a number of map symbols and then try to label a selection of symbols in the activity given.

 

Guided Reading

Following on from yesterday, read the story 'Nothing But Net' again and complete the activity. Use the text to see if you can math the word with the correct definition.
