Look what appeared in our garden yesterday morning!

Spellings
Just one more day until your spelling test. Here’s a reminder of this week’s words.
grinned, dropped, stumbled, confused, hurried, tidied, groaned, splashed
Why not try some word shapes with your spellings today. The tall boxes are needed for letters that have ascenders (b, d, h, k, l and t) and if there is a letter with a descender (f, g, j, p, q and y), then the box needs to be lower than the other boxes.
Task 1 reading
***** Apologies – here are the answers from yesterday’s Mystery Key comic comprehension. ******
We’ve had a query from a parent about whether answers for a reading comprehension should be recorded as a sentence or not. We tell the children that, in this instance, they do not need to answer in a full sentence but simply to record the answer as show below. Sometimes, this type of learning might be timed so the children are advised to use their time effectively and record simple answers. Hope that makes sense!
a.Why were the pirates following the map? to find the treasure/to use the key
b.Why did the pirates not want to go down the cliff? because ospreys might be there and they have sharp beaks
c.What did the pirates use a pulley for? to pull up the chest
d.Find and copy two words to describe the donkey. nosey and grey
e.Find and copy a word that means a box. chest
f.Put these places, that the pirates visited, in order.

1.Read through the fluency text again (below) and this time try to use some expression as you read.
Table Manners
The Goops they lick their fingers,
And the Goops they lick their knives,
They spill their broth on the table-cloth,
Oh, they live disgusting lives.
The Goops they talk while eating,
And loud and fast they chew,
So that is why I am glad that
I’m not a Goop. Are you?
By Gelett Burgess
