Don’t forget to give yourself a time challenge too! How many tricky words can you write in 1 minute? Have you improved since you first started?

Pictionary

Play a game of pictionary. Adults can draw something and you have to write the word as quickly as possible on your own piece of paper. Can you guess the picture before your grown-up finishes drawing? This week try to focus on words with 1 or more digraphs. Choose your own pictures to draw or choose from the list below; 

rain  torch   teepee  beard  shark  sheep  chain  book

Literacy 

We have been thinking lots about growing over the last few weeks. This week we would like you to start thinking about the animals that live and grow up on a farm. Today we would like you to have a go at writing down what animals you know live on a farm and what you already know about those animals, such as pigs are big, cows eat grass. Have a think and discuss with your grown-ups about the animals that live on a farm and why you think the farmer keeps those animals on a farm. What is the animal’s name when it is a baby for example baby cows are called calves. 

Here is a lovely story about animals on a farm! 

What is your favourite animal from the farm? 

I have noticed that there are some new born lambs in some of the fields around the Poundbury area. See if you can spot them on your daily walk!
