June 22nd - 26th
This is our last week of online work for the year. Well done on the fantastic work you have done this year and I have enjoyed working with you all. Have a lovely summer and I am looking forward to seeing you all in September!
Oxford Owl:
If you have any free time and want to read some more books I will include the link for Oxford Owl website to access E-books. Many of these books are in school and we have used some of them in our reading groups. Choose a book of interest to you. You can set up your own account with an email address. If you have any trouble doing this please email me and I will send you a username and password.

Reading:
This week I want you to write a book review on Mr Stink. Give your own opinion on what you thought of the book and what you liked and didn't like about it. Here is a template below you can use. You can continue with last week's activities if you haven't finished them.
Reading Strategies:
Before reading: Discuss the author, illustrator, title of the book and the blurb and recall what happened in part 1 before Easter.
Remember our Building Bridges strategies and actions that we have been learning to help us understand what we are reading. So far we have learned how to:
-Make predictions (thinking about what might happen before and during reading).
-Make connections (thinking about how the text relates to ourselves, another book/film or the wider world).
-Visualise (creating images in our minds about the story).
-Declunk (If you don't understand a word you're reading you can declunk it! Break it up, peel back the word or use a dictionary).
-Question (ask questions about the text before, during and after reading).
-Clarify (asking for further information about the text).
Please listen to your child read and practice using these strategies (They will be familiar with all of them!).
Activity:
We have now come to the end of the book. I hope you enjoyed listening to it. Below are some after reading activities to do. They will be up for the next 2 weeks so there is no rush to complete them all by the end of the week. Please email me a picture of any of the work you have done!
Use this activity to write questions about Mr Stink. Ask a parent or friend who's read the book to answer some questions.
My email is Helena.staunton@warrenmountprimary.com, please feel free to contact me through this if you have any questions regarding the above work. I hope you and your families are keeping well.
All the best,
Ms Staunton.
