Today you will be looking at the pictures below and thinking of a short sentence to go with the picture. For example, for the first picture you could write The good witch cast a spell. For picture 2, The beanstalk is big. For picture 3, The big pig had a big sack. These are just some examples of what your child could write, they might have their own ideas! Don’t forget to use the Basic Code in the back of your reading diary and the tricky words on the lists we sent home if your sentences include them.

Literacy

Show your child the pictures of the good characters and bad characters below. Talk to your child about these characters. How would they describe the characters? Try and get them to expand on the simple ‘good’ and ‘bad’ vocabulary and ask them to explain why they think that. Model describing your child to them using a range of vocabulary to describe your child’s traits and personality. Get your child to do the same with the characters and tell you. Take some of their suggestions and write them on a piece of paper to create a key words sheet (they’ll be able to use this later on in their writing so keep it). Get your child to help you segment the words as you write them or get them to have a go at writing some of the words too. In school we like to do shared writing where the children support the teacher to write and they get to see some good writing being modelled. You don’t have to pick all three pictures to talk about (unless you want to), just choose your favourite.
