Kaboom Reading Game

Write out some of the common exception words from the list at the bottom of the document onto folded pieces of paper.  Add in some pieces with the word ‘Kaboom’ written on.  Take it in turns to pick a card and read the word.  If you read it correctly you get to keep the card.  If you pick a ‘kaboom’ card, you must return all cards to the middle.  The one with the most cards at the end wins.

• Using –ing, -ed, -er and –est where no change is needed in the spelling of root words

Choose a sea creature of your own e.g. shark, jellyfish, seahorse. 

Draw a picture of your chosen sea creature. Write 3 sentences about your sea creature using a different suffix word in each. 

Here are some example suffix words you could use: 

biggest, sharpest, longest, smallest, brightest, largest, quietest, loudest

bigger, sharper, longer, smaller, brighter, larger, quieter, louder

Read your sentence back to yourself to check it makes sense.

Remember to think about your punctuation, handwriting and finger spaces.

Recognise and use language relating to dates, including days of the week, weeks, months and years 

Sequence events in chronological order using language such as: before and after, next, first, today, yesterday, tomorrow, morning, afternoon and evening 

Remind yourself of the days of the week by singing our “Days of the Week” song (to the tune of “The Addams Family”)

Geography

Can you name and locate the world’s five oceans?

Use the world maps below to help you.

Once you have labelled the five oceans, choose one and find out some information about it.

E.g. How large is it? How deep is it? What creatures are found there? Any other interesting or fun facts.

Extension activity – Can you find out some information about another ocean? Then compare the two oceans. What is similar and what is different about them?
