Literacy – Plan a newspaper report

Today you need to plan your newspaper report. Remember it is all about Little Red Riding and the Big Bad Wolf. You are not retelling the story, you are turning the story in to a newspaper report. Think back to the features that you looked at last week.

• Newspaper title – what will yours be?
• Headline – what will yours be?
• Paragraphs – what will each paragraph be about?
• Past tense – because it has already happened.
• Picture – what will you include?
• Caption – what caption will you create?
• Eyewitness accounts – who will you interview
• Facts about the event – what are they key aspects of the event?
• The 5 w’s (who, what, why, where and when).

Who is it about?

What happened?

Why did it happen?

Where did it happen?

When did it happen?

Use the sheet to help you. 

If you need to read or watch the story again for some help that is okay.

Maths – Draw 2D shapes.  

You have all worked super hard with shapes, now let’s see how well we can draw some!

https://vimeo.com/506146175

Thursday – Draw 2D shapes

Literacy – Creating catchy headlines

Every good newspaper has a brilliant catchy headline, it is what we first see/read and this short sentence determines whether or not we read the whole newspaper. Your newspaper will also need a catchy headline to make the reader want to read on. They need to be short, sharp and snappy! The newspaper report that you will be writing is all about Little Red Riding Hood and The Big Bad Wolf, so you need to think of some super catchy headlines.

Today the task is: to create a range of catchy headlines for my newspaper report all about Little Red Riding Hood and The Big Bad Wolf. If you could think if at least 5 that would be amazing!

Would you like to see my ideas?

Red Riding Hood Rescued!

Grandma Gobbled!

Did you notice anything about mine… they started with the same letter!! Remember this is called ALLITERATION. We have looked at this before, try and make a few of your catchy headlines contain some alliteration.

Good luck – I can’t wait to see them!!

History – Queens of the past. 

Today the aim if this afternoon is for you to understand what a monarch is and where monarchs live.

Before you start.. what do you think a monarch is? No helping adults at home, please 🙂

Read through the PowerPoint and explore the Monarchs of the past. Do you agree with some of their rules and ideas?

Lesson Presentation The Role of a Monarch

Then have a look at this sheet and complete it. Can you circle the rules that you would choose if you were a good monarch and cross out the ones you would not choose? Then use the blank spaces to add some more rules that you would create if you were
a king or queen.

Activity Sheet Good or Bad Monarch Rules

Extension task: Draw yourself as a King or Queen!

Happy Thursday Ladybirds 🙂

Keep smiling, Miss Shadbolt.

So, yesterday the newspaper reports were really good! A lot of you remembered some of the key features and you really did try your best, I am very impressed. Can you remember what topic we were doing when we last looked at newspaper reports?? I will give you a clue…. ‘London’s Burning!!!’.

Today we are looking at the key features of a newspaper report.

The key features are as follows:

• Newspaper title
• Headline
• Paragraphs
• Past tense
• Picture
• Caption
• Eyewitness accounts
• Facts about the event
• The 5 w’s (who, what, why, where and when).

I would like you to try and locate all of the features in the example that I have attached below. You can either highlight with a crayon and draw a label or write down any features you find on a piece of paper.

Because we are looking at Traditional Tales in our Topic, I thought you might all enjoy these lessons on drama and story telling. In this lesson, you will explore the building blocks of storytelling, and how stories are created through drama.

PE – Balancing 

In this lesson, you will learn the basic balances and explore the different ways you can show these. You will think about how you can exercise safely in our home environment. Please note this lesson will require some physical exercise and additional equipment, beyond a pen, pencil or paper.

Please see the equipment slide near the start of the lesson video and make sure your child is adequately supervised when equipment is required. Parents and carers are responsible for ensuring that children follow the correct safety advice provided at the start of this lesson and the instructions the teacher gives during the lesson.

This week we are looking at newspaper reports. But before I teach/remind you all about the features of a newspaper report, I would like you to just write one all by yourself. This will show me what you can remember about newspaper reports. So today, Mums, Dads and Carers at home – no helping please 🙂 .

The topic: Goldilocks and Three Bears. You need to write a newspaper report about what happened to the Three Little Bears. I have attached a video of the story just in case you don’t know what happens. You have done lots of independent writes at school, you will all be fine.
