Bentinck
Primary and
Nursery School
Week 2 (23.3.2020)
Literacy
Due to not being at school we did not have chance to finish our Handa Surprise topic. Please read through the story and try to write short sentences about the story.
Ask your child....
Can you tell me what happened in the story? (we made up some actions to support)
Say the sentence you want to write.
Clap the sentence you want to write.
Count how many words are in the sentence.
Write the sentence.
Repeat with each sentence.
Please remember I don't expect children to write the whole story. 4 or 5 short sentences will be great and they don't have to do it al in one go!

Please be aware that your child has not been taught every sound and they need to use their phonics and sounds which they know to support them to write. They should have the RWI sound mat to support them.
Challenge 2!
Lets take advantage of this lovely weather! Go on a hunt around the garden. What did you see? Draw and write what you saw.
I did this with my children and they loved finding spiders, bees and ladybirds.
Don't forget to bring back to school or email me all the activities you have done at home! This can be pictures, photos, writing or anything else you can think of!
Please feel free to email me all the activities you are getting up to at home!
