Week beginning 19.10.20
This week the children are going to work towards a final writing piece where they will write a story about an animal in a jungle.
Monday-
The children will begin by looking at some optical illusion pictures where different animals are hidden around the jungle scene. The children need to find as many jungle animals as they can and record this on a sheet on paper. The children need to think of different adjectives associated with the jungle and write this around their jungle picture. They could describe the animals that they have found and the jungle setting. Extension task- The children could put these words into expanded noun phrases as we have been looking at these in class.
Tuesday-
Watch various clips of different animals- Focus on their characteristics- You don’t need to watch the full video- Just focus on their appearance and movements.
