Monday

To look for number patterns focusing on one more and one less.

Show me on your ten frames how many drinks will be in the next group.

I will read a pattern of numbers. Use your number line to follow the pattern. When I clap, you say the next number in the pattern.

Now let's see play with numbers counting backwards.

Your turn:

Use your number line to think of a pattern of numbers. Share it with a clap at the end. We have to describe your pattern as increasing or decreasing by 1. You could use a pattern like the last one in the picture above.

Now complete pages 99 & 100.

To use question marks to demarcate some sentences.

Can you remember what a noun and adjective is? 

We are going to complete a modelled write about the dragon we labelled on Friday. 

We are going to use adjectives in our sentences and the challenge is to include the word and!!

Have a look at how the spotted hyena introduces himself. We are going to introduce our dragon in the same way. 

We are going to choose a name for your dragon and model write. 

Include a dragon name and how do you do?

Tomorrow you are going to get a different dragon from Zog and you will write a new description independently for the dragon. 

Adaptive Teaching 

Review Friday's learning and the labels for the dragon. 

Model writing. Ask the children how to write I etc. 

I am Jack. How do you do? 

Ask the children what they want to write about. Make sure it it is phonically decodable (red wings, big tail)

Today we are going to revisit the words we have learned this half term.
