English:

Adding –s or –es to make plurals

When changing a word from singular to plural, you can add –s or –es. E.g. cat=cats, church=churches

The spelling rules is: If a word ends in z, s, ch or sh, add an –es. All others add an s, except for ‘o’ which sometimes needs an –es (potatoes)

Watch this video which explains how to use commas in a list: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/z8x6cj6/articles/zxvcrdm

We have worked on this in the classroom so children should be familiar with the concept and vocabulary. There is a game to play on the BBC Bitesize website.

Follow up activities:

• Education City
• Can you write lists of things you can see around the house/garden? E.g. I can see ladybugs, woodlice and ants.
• Can you spot lists in magazines/newspapers?
• Guess who? Write lists to describe people and swap them to guess who you’re talking about.

We will use these skills for the writing activities later in the week.

Topic:

Unit title: Poles Apart

The Geography topic for this term is Poles Apart. The objective of this topic is for children to identify the location of hot and cold areas around the world in relation to the Equator and North and South Poles. Below are some progressive activities for this topic but please feel free to be as creative as you would like. I’ve tried to include a mixture of adult led and independent activities.

Activities:

1. Use Google maps to locate the following places and mark them on the map (in resources):

• Finland
• England
• Antarctica
• Nigeria
• Russia
• Japan

2. Read the PowerPoint about the Equator and different poles.
3. Work through the BBC Bitesize page/video about Nigeria in Africa. https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zyhp34j/articles/znxp92p

What have you found out about Nigeria? What is the weather like? Is it nearer to the Equator or South Pole?

Can you pack (or draw) a suitcase that you could take to Nigeria if you were going there on holiday?

4. Repeat with the BBC Bitesize page/video about Antarctica. https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zyhp34j/articles/zjg46v4

What have you found out about Antarctica? What is the weather like? Can you compare it to Nigeria?

Can you pack (or draw) a suitcase for a holiday to Antarctica?

5. What’s the same and different between the Arctic and Antarctic? Can you use the internet/books to research.
