To be able to compare height and length using key terminology.

What is the difference between the tiger and elephant?

Let's remember to use the correct key terminology (keywords)

Tall, taller, tallest

Short, shorter, shortest

Let's use string to look at the height of the animals.

Teacher - Purposely push the shortest rope forward so it appears longer

Why would this not be fair?

Remember we must always place the items at the same starting point otherwise the measurements will not be accurate

What do we know about the people that keep us safe?

Talk partners - What does it mean by the word safe? 

Can you tell you partner about a time where you have felt safe?

Today we will be looking at all the people we go to that help us keep safe. Can you name any?

Let's mind map!

Think carefully about all of the people who help you in your everyday life. Who helps you at home?

Who helps you at school?

Who helps you at any clubs you go to?

Who helps you when you are out and about?

Draw and label the people who help you on your sheet.

Orally plan and rehearse ideas. 

Grammar

Using the spelling rule for ‘s’ and ‘es’ 

When making singular nouns plural we add 's', for example -

Cat becomes Cats 

Shirt becomes Shirts 

Pen becomes Pens 

 

 If the singular noun ends in s, ss, sh, ch, x, z and o then we add an 'es' at the end for example-

Match - Matches 

Dish - Dishes 

Quiz - Quizzes 

With your talk partner can you make these singular words into plural-

 

Chimpanzee

Bus

Glass

Sandwich

Pencil

Elephant

 

Today in English we will be innovating the poem 'the animals went in 2 by 2' by changing the animals!

Lets listen to the poem and use our actions we made up with our class!

Edewcate english rhymes - The animals went in two by two nursery rhyme - YouTube

Now you will be changing the animals to your own chosen animals.

I will model and create one together as a class then you will have a go!

Can we explore patterns using rubbing techniques?

 

We are taking inspiration from the German printmaker Anni Albers to create our own work with patterns.

What do you think a pattern is?

 

Instead of using the patterns already given to us on the rollers, dabbers or shapes, we are going to make our own patterns using things we find in nature and chalk!

So we will be going outside and looking for objects we can make patterns with for example - leaves, stones, sticks and chalk!

By the end we should be able to see a range of different patterns on our paper!

We will need- 

paper 

chalk 

leaves

stones 

sticks
