Friday 

To be able to understand and learn the 5 times table.

Let’s learn.

Let’s try the guided practice together.

Turn to page 63 and 64.

Grammar Warm Up

We are going to edit our letters from Tom to his mum.

Read your letter to your partner, think about have I used adjectives that help the reader picture the scene?

 

Could I replace a “boring” adjective with a more powerful one?

 

Do my adjectives make sense with the noun?

 

 

We are going to read the entire story. Before we do, there are some words/phrases we need to understand.

pitch a tent- to set up a tent

undaunted- not scared or bothered about danger or difficulty

plummeted- fall straight down at high speed

 

 

 

Can you identify natural and man-made patterns? 

 

To understand ways to manage big feelings and the importance of sharing their feelings with someone they trust.

Big feelings are feelings that feel so strong they can be hard to handle. Sometimes they make us want to shout, cry, run away, or hide — and that’s okay. We just need to find ways to calm down and talk about them

Mo felt angry when his little brother broke his toy. His tummy felt tight and he wanted to shout. Later, he felt sad and didn’t know what to do. He didn’t want to tell anyone because he thought it was silly. But when he talked to his mum, she listened and helped him fix the toy — and his feelings felt smaller.

• What big feelings did Mo have?

• How did he feel inside his body?

• What helped him feel better?

• Who are the people you can talk to when you have a big feeling?

 

Calm Down Jars

Let’s explore how calming tools can help manage big feelings.

You’ll need:

• Small clear bottles or jars

• Warm water, glitter, food colouring, glue

• Labels

How to do it:

1. Fill jars with warm water, glitter, and a bit of glue.

2. Shake the jar and watch the glitter swirl.

   The glitter is like our big feelings — when we’re upset or angry, everything feels mixed up.

   When we stop and breathe, the glitter settles, and we feel calmer.
