Topic - Music
We have been learning about the four countries of the United Kingdom. Are you able to remember what the four countries are? Today we are thinking about Scotland in our Music lesson.
Robert Burns was a Sottish Poet born over 260 years ago, and Scottish people all over the world will be celebrating his birthday which is on Monday (25th January). They will be having a meal of haggis, neaps and tatties (swede/turnip and potatoes). Have a listen to the National Scottish instrument of the bagpipes being played at the Edinburgh Military Tattoo. Talk with your family about what they’re wearing, how you think the bagpipes make the sound, how do they change the notes? What other instruments are being played? How often you think they practiced for this event and finally, do you like the sound?
Remember it's really important to listen to a wide range of music - you won't like all of it, but you might surprise yourself!
Guided Reading
Today’s guided reading is all about sharks! When you open the file you will notice there are 3 levels of activity. Please use the version suitable for your child:
EMERGING : 1 STAR
EXPECTED : 2 STARS
EXCEEDING : 3 STARS
If your child is Exceeding they can go straight to the exceeding task, they don’t need to complete the Expected first like they do in Phonics.

Topic - RE
Share with your child a book or a story that is ‘special’ to you. Explain why it is special, e.g. the story or a particular character might have impressed you or the book might have been a present from someone special.
Ask your child to find their favourite or special book. Ask them to write their reason on separate piece of paper. For example, it might be the first book/story they learned to read for themselves.
Display the book and their writing to share with your family.
Ask the children to identify their favourite nursery rhymes, poems and songs. Encourage them to talk about why they like them so much. Add these to the display too with captions to show who chose them and why they are special.
Challenge: Ask your child to identify their favourite word and to explain why this is their favourite. They could use computers to print out their favourite words using a ‘bubble’ font and they could colour in or decorate the letters.
Look out today at 2 o'clock, because your teachers will be LIVE on Google classroom - link up to say 'Hello!' and listen to the next part of The Twits by Roald Dahl.
There are messages on Ping about how to join us - it really is quite simple, just follow the step by step instructions - we're sooooo looking forward to seeing you! 
Guided Reading
We hope you’re all enjoying story time with The Twits! See which words you can find in today’s word search all about the revolting pair!
Challenge: How about making a word search with your own words from the story and asking a family member to solve it?
Reading
Keep up with reading something everyday:
- A reading book you have at home
- Log in to Bug Club where there are books all ready for you
- Log in to Oxford Owl and choose a book - ask a grown up to listen to you read or share reading together, or use the 'Read to me' button if you prefer
