Focus Activity - Writing

We would like you to put yourself in Dr Rose’s shoes again and describe her journey so far.

• Why has Dr Rose had to go on a quest?
• How did she get there?
• How do you think she felt when she got there?
• What did she do when she got there?
• What did she see?

We would like you to see how many adjectives you can use throughout your wonderful writing. Remember to use your full stops, capital letters, finger spaces and conjunctions. Remember to use your letter strip to help you use the 'Does it look right? strategy throughout your writing. Year One | The Lyppard Grange Primary School 

For example, I started my quest in London. I went on a bumpy plane ride to Antarctica to find the lost chalice. I got off the plane and it was so cold I needed lots of layers to stay warm.

Focus Activity - Phonics

During the morning briefing the children will flick through the previously taught digraphs, trigraphs and tricky words. 

This week we will be focusing on the written grapheme ‘ow’ making two different phonemes (sounds). For example; in c-ow it makes the ‘ow’ sound and in s-n-ow it makes the ‘oa’ sound.

On the worksheet below, pick out all of the words with the ‘ow’ grapheme in (either saying ow or oa). Once you have picked out all these words, sort them into the two different sounds.
