Literacy – Writing sentences

Look at the picture of Winnie the Witch. Can you create sentences about it? Write sentences in your Home Learning jotter. Remember to use a capital letter at the start of every sentence, finger spaces between words and a full stop at the end. Also, read each sentence to make sure it makes sense.

1. Write some sentence about Winnie’s clothes (think about her hat, cloak, tights, boots etc).

2. Write a sentence about the cat, Wilbur.

3. Write a sentence about how

In your jotter can you draw 2 pencils, 2 worms, 2 books and 2 rulers, in each pair 1 should be shorter than the other.

Over the next 2 weeks we will be looking at the next habit which is ‘Win Win!’ I have attached the PowerPoint on to the blog page which is from Mrs Kellock. This is the assembly we would be having if we were in school.

Habit 4: Think Win-Win requires “courage and consideration.” In other words, a person needs to be both nice and tough all at once. This means caring about people and wanting them to succeed,

and at the same time caring for ourselves and wanting to succeed as well.

Watch the video clip and sing the song on the powerpoint from Mrs Kellock.

We are at home every day just now and it would be good to think about how we can be more considerate to our parents, brothers and sisters?

Think, what could you do at home? Help tidy up, make your bed, clean your room, play with your brother or sister, help them if they are stuck? Win-Win requires both courage and consideration.

This week, try to use the habit of win win at home.
