Wow - it’s now the month of July! Can you believe it? I certainly can’t!
Here are Wednesday’s home learning activities:
Reading
Continue reading and quizzing on books using the Accelerated Reading and Epic Reading resources. Help can be found in the ‘How to help your child’ section of my page if you need it.
Please note: From the 30th June, the school’s subscription changes and the EPIC reading resource will only be available for 2 hours across the week.
Remember, you should be reading for at least half an hour each day. Also try to read both a range of fiction and non-fiction books.

Day 3:
On the Ning Nang Nong! by Spike Milligan
Read the poem 'On the Ning Nang Nong’ here:
Now, play the audio recording of the poem as read by Spike Milligan (click on the image above).
Discuss your child’s reaction to the poem – they might be surprised by the nonsense words! Some background information on Spike Milligan and his nonsense poetry can be found in the first two paragraphs here:
(Note: Please avoid clicking on + Continue Reading tab as the content may not be considered age appropriate).
Your first task today is to draw and label a picture of the Ning Nang Nong. What creatures and living things need to be included in your picture? (cows, monkeys, mice, trees). If you were to attach speech bubbles to the animals, what would they be saying? (Bong! BOO! Clang!) What other creatures or living things could you add? What might they be doing? What other noises might you hear? Remember it doesn’t matter how ridiculous your ideas are – you can be as creative as you like! Colour your picture to make it as attractive as possible.
Now write some sentences to describe your version of the Ning Nang Nong. Remember to include details about all the living creatures that live there, the noises they make and what they do. You can use some adjectives (describing words) and include your own nonsense words too if you like!
Remember to read back through your work to check for spelling and punctuation.

Maths
Please access - Summer Term - Week 8 (w/c 15th June) - Lesson 3 - ‘Sorting 2D and 2D Shapes’ and watch the video. Then, complete the activity below: I do understand that there was a lot to complete for yesterday’s maths, so please do complete what you can. Friday’s maths is reinforcing what has already been taught, so these activities could always be skipped and today’s or tomorrow’s work carried over to Friday.
