WORD OF THE DAY: Have another look at your list of ingredients from Friday. Today we are going to think about the effect they might have on Grandma.

Our values for this term are Truthfulness and Trust. This story is about putting trust in God.
Moses and the Burning Bush Moses was looking after his flock of sheep. One day he was searching for a stray sheep when he saw a bush on fire. The bush was burning but no leaves fell or turned to ash.
He heard a voice.... watch the video clip opposite to find out what happened.
|
Moses had an incredible job to do. Would you take on a job like this or would you need encouragement?
Did Moses take on the jobs God gave him because he was scared of God or because he believed and trusted him?

WORD OF THE DAY: Before we start writing our own Marvellous Medicine chapters tomorrow, we need to be sure we know exactly what we want to write. Today we are going to create a story map. This will make sure we can follow along our plan easily and not miss anything out when we are writing. (We've done lots of them in school, but email your teacher if you cant remember where to start!) You'll need a blank page (or two) in your home learning book or a blank piece of paper. Start by drawing four big boxes. These will show the rooms you will visit to gather your ingredients. Now draw arrows in between them to show the route you will take. You could add numbers to make it even more clear. Label each box with the title of the room it represents. See the example opposite if you're unsure. Now think very carefully about the items you want to include from your ingredients list. Draw two or three ingredients in each box and label them with adjectives and key words to describe their effects. Can you include: |

WORD OF THE DAY: Today we are beginning to write! We really need to take our time and ensure we try our very best. That means working slowly, sounding out using our super phonics and trying to include PCap and P. for each and every sentence. It would be fantastic to see you using noun phrases, the power of three, possessive apostrophes and commas in a list too. Use your plan to help you and make sure to include all of your key words from yesterday. Focus on completing the first two rooms today and we will finish writing tomorrow. It might look a little like this: George decided he would first go to the bathroom. He put the enormous saucepan on the floor and went to work. First he found a bottle labelled Golden Gloss Hair Shampoo. He emptied it in to the pan because he thought it would wash Grandma's tummy nice and clean. Next he dropped in a small, round, pink bath bomb to make the horrid woman fizz like a can of coke. That, he thought, looking around him, was about all from the bathroom. He took his saucepan excitedly into his mother's bedroom. |

WORD OF THE DAY: Today we are finishing off our writing. Remember that it is important to take our time and ensure we try our very best.

It would be fantastic to see you using noun phrases, the power of three, possessive apostrophes and commas in a list too. Use your plan to help you and make sure to include all of your key words from Tuesday. Focus on completing the final two rooms today. George was determined to make the marvellous medicine by eleven o'clock. He carried the enormous, heavy, grey saucepan into the laundry room. George quickly tipped some washing powder into the saucepan because it said dirt would disappear like magic. He hoped Grandma might disappear too. After that he found a box of canary seed on the shelf. He had to climb to reach it but in it went. George thought it might make the old bird sing. |

I went sledging down a big hill with mummy nanny and my brother Ethan. It was great fun.
Frankie thinks the pictures are 2 different wood logs painted black. Thank you for your super guess Frankie. I thought it was a carpet and I was really surprised it was a feather. Were you surprised? Mrs Imeson
I built a snowman and went out on our sledge that is very old because it used to belong to my Mummy!
