 Writing

This week we are working on writing our own non-chronological report based on a sea creature of your choice after reading ‘The Seaside Switch’ by Kathleen Kudlinski. On Tuesday you were asked to do lots of research about your sea creature. Today you are going to make sure you have enough information for each of the sections of our report but also to start thinking about creating some amazing sentences, ready to write the report tomorrow!


Miss Rowland has created a table of her information so she can clearly see each section for her animal. Follow the link to have a look!

Your job is to do what Miss Rowland has done, but with your information about your sea creature. Make sure they are in the correct sections (Appearance, Habitat and Diet) and have a go at doing some super star sentences (like Miss Rowland did in green) in your own table - follow the link for your template. If you cannot print the table, ask a grown up to help you recreate it in your home learning book.

Writing

It is Wednesday, which means it is ‘Handwriting’ day! This week we are going to focus on the letters: i, o, n, w. This needs to be done slowly on lined paper or in your home learning book. No rushing- we can tell if you do! Take your time... You need to write a line of each letter as well as a line of these words: now, won, coin, noun. Remember not to rush and not to leave too much space in between each letter or word (just a finger space).

Use these links to help you with the formation of these letters:

Today, you need to choose which sea creature you will be wanting to focus on. You can choose one from the story or think of a different sea creature you like.

Research your chosen creature as much as you can - use the Kiddle search engine to help you! Think about these sections: Appearance (what it looks like), Diet (what it eats) and Habitat (where it lives). 

We'd love to see your research so remember to send the work you are super proud of to Y2@mostonlane.manchester.sch.uk!

Follow the link and listen to the story. While you are listening, write down all the sea creatures that are described in the story. How many did you get?!

Today we would like you to draw all the creatures you have written down, labelling them with 3 descriptive phrases each. For example, if I drew a sea crab, my three labels could be:

  1. Sharp, pointy claws to grab food with.
  2. Bright, orange shell to keep me safe.
  3. Tiny, black eyes to see what is around me.  

Draw at least 5 sea creatures with their labels attached. Colour them in too if you have time!
