Lesson 3: Literacy

Phonics

​For today's phonics lesson we are going to focus on the ee sound. Watch the video below and have a go.
Today, we are going to be doing a range of activities focusing on verbs (click on the button to download the activity sheet).
The Kapok Tree activities
1. Listen to a story
​
  • Listen to the reading of The Great Kapok Tree by Lynne Cherry. 
  • What do you like about this story? Is there anything that you dislike? What patterns can you spot?
  • Read the First Page. What type of words are in bold on this page?
2. Revise verbs
​
  • Use the Revision Card to remind yourself about verbs. 
  • Read the Second Page. Highlight the verbs that you can find on this page.

​3.  Now for some writing
​
  • Complete Changing Verbs. Write the verbs in the present tense and think of synonyms (other words that mean something similar).
  • Now write some sentences that use these verbs and synonyms. Try a mix of sentences in the present and past tense. 
 

Well done. Share your sentences with a grown-up, who can check that they make sense. You can check your Second Page highlighting at the end of this pack.
Try the Fun-Time Extras
​
  • Find out more about Kapok trees. Watch the video below.
  • Start a list of unusual verbs. Look in your reading books or ask somebody in your house.
Remember to also spend 30 minutes reading books and answering questions on Active Learn Primary.  If you don't have access to a computer, remember, reading a magazine or newspaper counts too!
Active Learn

Lunch: 

​
It’s time to relax.  First things first, remember to wash your hands with soap for 20 seconds before you eat!  What will you be devouring for lunch today?  Something mouth-watering and deliciously healthy?
