Friday 8th May diary writing

Friday 8th May

Todays learning is all about you using all you have learnt this week from your reading of the text and other activities to write some amazing descriptive sentences about Hattie's feelings.
Imagine you are Hattie the hedgehog. You have spent weeks preparing your winter home and then lots of animals asked if they could stay too! What were you thinking and feeling at the time? What did you do? Did your feelings change over time? Write a diary entry from Hattie’s point of view.

The important thing to remember when writing your sentences is to ensure you are extending them using your conjunctions and adding extra detail through including some good adjectives.

Monday 4th May Reading Comprehension

Monday 4th May
Reading is an essential skill children must learn in order to become successful at school. Why? Because reading is required to understand most other topics. Most of a child’s learning is done from reading the writing on a board or in books, magazines, and workbooks from the teacher. The capability to read is crucial. After all, if a child can’t read those items, how is it possible to answer math, science, or science questions? It’s not possible! The better a child can read, the easier it will be for them to learn what they need to in school.

There are plenty of approaches to encourage your child to read. Remember, they are a child, so get them involved by allowing reading to be entertaining, fun, and enjoyable. It would be of great benefit to your child if you consider choosing fun reading games to play (like reading signs) while walking them to school, driving them someplace, or while you’re out shopping.

 5 Reasons Why You Should Support Reading

1. Cognitive (mental processing) abilities are acquired: Reading develops a child’s imagination and creativity, and is a great approach to support your child to dream! In addition, reading supports logical thinking and problem solving skills.

2. Better communication skills: In addition to the contact they have with you during reading time, your child is developing useful communication skills by observing the interactions between the characters in the books. It is also a great opportunity to spend quality time together and bond with your child. Many children, as they get older, have fond memories of times spent reading with parents.

3. Smarter children: The more a child reads, the more a child learn. The more a child learns, the more they understand. The more a child knows, the more intelligent they are.

4. Reduces Stress: When you’re reading, you sit in a silent location, relax your mind, and focus on whatever it is that you are reading. Your brain slows down, and you’re normally calm. This comfortable state is not dissimilar to meditating, and through reading, your child will profit by acquiring the habit of relaxation.

5. Discipline and increased concentration: Along with reading comprehension comes a stronger self-discipline, a longer attention span, and better memory retention. These traits will serve your child well while learning at home or at school.
