Woodpeckers-Monday 20th April
Date: 18th Apr 2020 @ 4:44pm
Good Morning Woodpeckers,
I hope you had a lovely Easter with your families.
By now you should have collected or had your learning packs delivered for the next three weeks. Each Monday I will attach the overview for that week so you can access all the hyperlinks to websites/resources. You will also be able to check daily for answers to the tasks you have been set.
Each week I will setup a weekly discussion where you can upload your work, share ideas and ask for help.
Our topic for this week is Florence Nightingale. You may have heard about the Nightingale hospitals that have been, and are being built, around the country. Florence Nightingale is an important figure in British history and we are going to spend the week learning about her and why she is so famous.
Your tasks for today:
- Reading - Florence Nightingale Comprehension Sheets and reading for pleasure!
- Writing - Florence Nightingale Timeline - Using the timeline sheet included in your pack, cut out and stick the correct pictures to the timeline and add 2-3 sentences explaining each event.
- Spelling – Please practise your new spellings for the week and one of the activity sheets in your pack. You should know what group you belong to but please ask if you are not sure if you are with Mrs North or Mrs Handscombe. The new spellings are also on Spelling Shed.
Continue to practise your statutory words. The activity for today is - Choose 5 Statutory Words. Write a synonym, antonyms, the meaning and an example of how to use the word in a sentence. Can the word be modified? Don’t forget to log onto Spelling Shed to practise the spellings for this week too.
