write a kenning. I can put a hyphen (-) in between the two

words of my kenning.

Remember - A kenning is a two-word phrase that describes a noun. E.g. face-licker, tail-wagger to describe a dog. Today we are going to choose an animal to write some kennings about.

letter I can use a kenning to describe a

noun I can use adjectives and verbs to

‘Alliteration’ is when two or more words in a phrase begin with the same letter – e.g. fast, flying falcon. We can use alliterations in our kennings by having the two words starting with the same letter e.g. fast-flier, grumpy-growler, sneaky-sniffer.

Task – Using some of the kennings you wrote yesterday about your animal, try to think of some synonyms for your words so that they begin with the same letter. If you are struggling, make up some new kennings using alliteration.

L.O: To compare measurements of mass

S.C: I can use ‘lighter’ and ‘heavier’ I can use > greater than. I can use < less than. I can use = equal to.

Wider Curriculum Choice Grid

As well as completing a daily maths, English, spelling and reading task, we have put together a selection of different topic activities for you to complete at your leisure. We

realise this is a busy time and so most of these do not require written work but instead are discussion and interaction based.

Let’s Get Physical! (PE)

Make up an outdoor game that you can play with your family. Write up rules and instructions and explain clearly how to play. Include running or jumping and one other skill in your game.

Remember to demonstrate how to play your game safely.

I can develop rules for new games.

Let’s Explore! (Geography)

Go on a walk with a family member. Count 2 of the following things on your walk and record it in an appropriate way.

Number of cars on the roads

Number of buildings you pass

Number of trees Number of shops Number of schools Number of churches

Do you think you would count the same number of these wherever you went in England? Where might it change and why?

I can use fieldwork to observe, measure and record the human and physical features in a local area

Let’s Investigate! (Science)

On your life-sized drawing of yourself that you are doing for your art task, label the following body parts and include some information about that body part.

Skull Ribs Spine Elbow Knee Hip Ankle Shoulder Wrist

I can identify that humans and some other animals have skeletons and muscles for support, protection and movement.

Let’s Compute(Computing)

Create a poster about the dangers of using the internet. What might

happen if you share something online? What should you do when

you do not feel safe online? Remember the S.M.A.R.T rules!

I can recognise the risks of sharing publicly online and what to do when something does not feel safe.

Let’s Design! (Art and Design)

Stick some pieces of paper together large enough for you to lie on. Get a family member to trace around you, and then add detail to your life sized drawing of yourself. Use a mirror to look at your physical features and try to make it as accurate as possible.

I can create shapes and patterns with pencils, using the relevant colours for objects e.g. green for a leaf.

Let’s Write(Handwriting)

Complete the handwriting sheets attached below.

Try copying some of the words out into

normal notebook lines, keeping the letters in the suitable place on the line.
