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

Can I write for different purposes? (fact file plan)

What should the title of our fact file be? Who or what is it about?

What sub headings could we use? Can we split our facts into groups in chronological order?

What happened to Isambard first?
What did he do second?
What did he do next?
What did he do after that?

What pictures could you put with your sub headings to help the reader understand what they are reading? Do they need captions?

Here is a template you could use to help you organise your title, subheadings and pictures.

Remember chronological means putting events in the order that they happened.

Can I understand that sometimes it is good to keep a secret and sometimes it is not good to keep a secret?

There are two different types of secrets and it is very important to know the difference. Good secrets
help make us feel happy and usually lead to good surprises. But some
secrets can make us worry and feel sad or frightened. These are
‘worry’ secrets.

Have a look at the two pictures opposite. Which of the children is keeping a good secret? How can you tell? What feelings might they be feeling? How about the child who is keeping a ‘worry secret’.

Think of some times when it is okay to keep a good secret.

What would you do if you had a worry secret? Who would you tell? Are there some secrets that you should tell to an adult? Why should we not keep these secrets? How might you feel?
Who could you tell? What makes it difficult to tell worry secrets?
Who can you trust to talk to about secrets that worry you?

Can you think of a scenario to fill each thought bubble?

Example:

Good Secret: Organising a surprise birthday party and a special present for Jigsaw Jo.

Worry Secret: Some of Jigsaw Jo’s friends watched a scary movie together that
was meant for grown-ups. They are all having bad dreams about it.
The person who said they should watch it said it had to be a secret.

Can I listen to and appraise a song about friendship?

Using the link opposite, listen carefully to the song. Perhaps even close your eyes. Move along to the pulse and use your imagination as you enjoy the music.

Does the song tell a story? What can you hear? How does the music make you feel? What did you like/dislike about the song?

Follow along with the video, and begin to learn the Makaton signs to accompany the lyrics. We'd love to see videos of you signing this song!
