Hi Donaldson Class.

I hope you are all well and have had a good Easter at home and  managed to enjoy the sunshine. I have been for walks every day and I have also enjoyed doing a little baking too!

Thank you for sending me pictures of all your learning. I have enjoyed looking at all of them.  Keep up your learning at home and remember to keep sending them to me.

Grammar – adjectives

Today I would like you to practise using adjectives in your writing. An adjective is a word that describes an animal, person or thing. Adjectives include words that describe what something looks like and what it feels like to touch, taste, or smell. Adjectives can be colours and words that describe temperatures and sizes.

Year 1 – Watch this video about adjectives. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2vgjNoE4Xs

Once you have done this you can complete your learning on adjectives.

Year 2 – Watch this video about adjectives and complete the quiz below the video.

Remember to practise your times tables with Times Tables Rock Stars. If you need your log in details please email me and I will send them to you.

Science

In science we are going to be focusing on materials. Today we are going to check if you can identify an object and the material it is made of.  If you do not have a printer you can always tell your grown up the name of the object and what it is made. Now take a look around your home. Can you can see any other objects and work out what materials they are made from?
