SPELLING TEST

Last Monday you may have created a list of words to spell. I reminded you each day last week to practise them. Now would be a good time to ask a grown-up to test you on your spelling list. How did you do?

 

SPELLING PRACTICE

It is important that we learn to spell well and grow the vocabulary that we can use and spell. Each week we will practise our spelling.

Firstly let's check the basic lists that we are expected to learn. Look at these lists - Start with List 1 as you need to know all these first, then List 2 as you need to know all these next, then List 3 and so on. As you start to look make a personal list of 5 words that you know you need to learn to spell. As soon as you have 5 words on your personal list STOP looking. Make these the first 5 words to learn for this week.

Think about ways you could learn these e.g:

  • make flash cards
  • stick the words up somewhere
  • practise look, cover, write, check
  • write the in sentences
  • make a doodle out of the word
  • get a grown-up to test you each day

SPELLING RULES and PATTERNS

Your second set of words to learn this week belong to a set that follow a spelling pattern or rule. Choose which set of words is the right level of challenge for you to add to your week's personal list to learn:

SET 1:

coin

join

oil

point

SET 2:

badge

edge

hedge

> TOPIC - food chains

On Friday you examined skulls and teeth.

You will know that the type of teeth animals have depends on what diet they have... what they eat.

Animals that eat just meat are carnivores.

Animals that eat just plants are herbivores

Animals that eat both meat and plants are omnivores.

What are you?

Watch this video to refresh Friday's work...

In the animal kingdom animals of course source their own food. We know that they have certain things that they eat. Carnivores hunt other animals to eat. Herbivores eat plants.

In different habitats different animals and plants live and what eats what is a relationship called a food chain.

ALL food chains begin with a green plant. A plant is called a producer because it produces its own food from sunlight.

A herbivore or an omnivore might eat that plant - this animal is a primary consumer because it consumes the plant.

A carnivore or an omnivore might then eat that animal - this animal is also a consumer - a secondary consumer.

Some food chains may contain 3 living things. Others may be longer.

The animal that comes last or top of the food chain is called an Apex Predator.

Now watch this video...

Time to Make Some Food Chains

In your exercise book I would like you to create some food chains - starting with a green plant - and then consumers. I would like some illustrations too.

So here is an idea - draw a chain and then illustrate and write in and around it to show your chain....

Can you follow the video below to draw a chain?

 

or construct some food chains like this....

Can you create a chain with more than 3 living things?

Can you create a chain based in the sea or ocean?

Can you create a chain with a human in it?

Can you create a chain with based in a very cold place?
