Subject focus		What we need to learn:	How we might learn it:
English	Reading	To identify verbs in a text.	After your daily reading; Choose a book. 1) Write a list of five words that you don’t know (or might not be sure of) the meaning of. This could be any word type (e.g. verb – stumble, noun – gavel, adjective – stupendous) 2) With a grown up – either ask them to explain the word meaning – write a short sentence to explain the word / or – look up the word meaning together, using the Internet – write a short sentence to explain the word (please use the Internet with grown up supervision). example – 1) stumble – When someone trips and almost falls over.
English	Writing	To plan and create writing frames for places we’d like to visit.	You will need – a pencil and at least two sheets of paper. At the moment, we’re all trying really hard to stay at home as much as possible. Hopefully soon we’ll be able to go out again and visit places. Think – if you could go anywhere, where would you like to go? Your task today is to think of three places that you’d love to visit. They could be places you’ve been to before, or you could use your imagination and go somewhere new, to another country, another continent, or even another planet! Today your challenge is to complete three ideas frames, one for each place. Look at the example here – use a blank sheet for each one. Keep your notes safe, you will need them tomorrow!
