Here are some important things to remember:

Reading

To identify features in a blurb.

 

 

Find a fiction (story) book in your home and look at the back cover (if you don’t have a book you can use, try looking one up on Amazon or Google Images).

 

The text on the back of the book that tells you about the story is called the blurb. The back of the book might also show quotes from book reviews.

 

Read the text and look at the vocabulary that is used. Make lists of the adjectives, verbs and adverbs. What do you notice about them?

How does the blurb make you want to read the book? What about the quotes? 

 

Can you spot any SPaG features?

  • Read the text twice to make sure you understand.
  • You can use Collins Dictionary Online to look up any words you don’t know.
  • Think about whether the words are mostly positive or negative. How do they make you feel? Do they use ‘everyday’ words or ‘wow!’ words?

Writing

To write the blurb for a story.

Think of a story you have read and enjoyed. It could be a story you have read at home, or one you have read as part of your home learning (e.g. one of the Ananse stories), or it could be a story you know very well (such as a well-known fairytale, or the plot of a film).

 

Thinking about the things you noticed when you were looking at a blurb for the reading task, have a go at writing a blurb for this story.

 

Share your blurb on the blog and see if your friends can tell which story it is for!

  • Try to include all the features you noticed in the other blurb – and maybe some others as well!
  • Collins Dictionary Online also has a thesaurus to help you up-level your vocabulary choices.
  • Remember you can ‘magpie’ vocab from the example you looked at as well!

Spelling

To spell words from an age-appropriate text.

Straight, strange, strength, suppose, surprise

 

Complete the bitesize activity – splitting up the words into sections (don’t worry about colouring – just put a dash between parts,

Welcome to Cedar Class!

 

My name is Mrs Bieda and I am teaching Cedar class this year with the support of our teaching assistant, Mrs Hall.

 

The children will be faced with many new challenges this year, but if they remember to always think positively and try their best when facing these challenges, they will be successful and enjoy learning in a caring and positive environment.

 

        Key things to remember:

 

  • During term 1, the children will have swimming lessons on a Thursday afternoon, so they will need to ensure they have their swimming costume and a towel in school on this day.
  • PE kit needs to be in school every day.

    Homework:
  • Children are expected to read daily and record this in the back of their learning destination book.
  • Maths homework will be set every Monday and will be linked to what the children have been learning in class. Spellings homework will also be set on a Monday; all homework should be completed by Friday.
     

Children’s learning destination books can also be used for any additional home learning that they wish to carry out.

States of Matter

As part of this term’s Science topic on States of Matter, the children made Chocolate Fruit Cups. This involved changing the state of the chocolate by melting it, then moulding a chocolate cup shape and leaving the chocolate to change state once more as it solidified. The children were able to identify that this was a reversible change. They then prepared a variety of fruit to put inside their chocolate cups and thoroughly enjoyed eating them!

Cedar class have made a great start to the year with their learning. We have been finding out about the life of Nelson Mandela and why he is such a significant figure in Black History. The children are currently publishing a biography of Nelson Mandela which is taking the form of an illustrated A5 book. They are very proud of their work so far and are looking forward to binding their books.

In class, we are reading Journey to Jo’burg by Beverley Naidoo. The children thought carefully about the feelings of the main characters in the story, Naledi and Tiro, before writing a diary entry in role as Tiro. Their writing showed great empathy towards the character and all published diary entries are now on display in Cedar class. Well done Cedar, keep it up!
