Hello Sycamore,
It’s that time again where I update you on some new learning. We are reading another book by Julia Donaldson this week and it is called: The Troll
English
I would like you to read the book if you have it or listen to it using this link:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VfvsJ_SWKz8&safe=active
- Write a description of the Troll using the writing frame. Think about what he looks like and what his character is like.
- Write a description of one of the pirates.
- Can you write some sentences all about pirates. What do they have? What do they do? What do they eat? Where do they live?
- Can you use the planner to plan and write your own pirate story?
- Can you fill in the speech bubbles? What might the characters be saying to each other?
Reading
Continue to read, a little every day. Any books you have you can read, they don’t have to be school books.
You can access this website. All you need to do is register for free and you can access lots of e-books for your child’s relevant age.
Phonics play website is also free at the moment and has lots of phonics games where you can recap your sounds.

Spelling
The weekly spellings are on twinkl, as are the common exception words that the children need to know in years 1 and 2. I will also attach them this week.
Maths
Continue with the White Rose maths, you will find all the relevant year group worksheets for the week on the website.
Any questions please e mail and ask. Remember to watch the videos as this explains how to do the word on the worksheets.
Science
- Look at the different types of bridges shown in the story. What are they made out of?
- Can you design and build a bridge that will hold a small teddy bear without collapsing? How much weight will your bridge be able to have on it without collapsing? How could you make it stronger?
Geography
Can you use the map template to create a treasure map? Draw the items on the map and ask your parent/carer to try and guess where the treasure is using co-ordinates e.g. The treasure is in C4.
