Week 1

Literacy

This week in literacy we are going to be reading the story Leaf Man. Listen to the story below. Leaf Man follows a group of autumn leaves as they are blown by the wind. I wonder where the wind will take them?

After receiving a message from Leaf Man asking for our help we will think about where Leaf Man could go on his next adventure. We will write a page for a new Leaf Man story. See the example below to help write your page for the new Leaf Man story.

The PowerPoint below is a good introduction to pattern.

Go on a pattern hunt around your house. How many different patterns can you find.

At school this week we are going on an Autumn walk! We will be looking for signs of Autumn and talking about seasonal changes at this time of the year. What colour are the leaves? What is beginning to fall from the trees?
