A short introduction to describing pumpkins, both on the outside and inside.
Activity inspired by A-Z Teacher Stuff (lessons atoz) to make a non fiction pumpkin book. Children to write words, phrases or sentences to describe the outside and inside of the pumpkin. Can cut orange wool and seeds to stick on the inside of the book to illustrate.
A sorting game designed to discuss foods that are suitable and not suitable for dogs, cats, rabbits and birds. Each child to have an animal board. Food cards to be laminated and cut; placed face down in a pile. Children to take it in turn to pick up a food card and decide whether it is safe for their animal to eat. If so, place on the tick column. If they are aware that the food is not safe, place on the cross column. If the food is not applicable for that animal, place the card back down on the bottom of the pile.
I created this resource to use alongside the Scholastic lesson plan 'tea with the big bad wolf'. Two small tables to use when looking at spelling rules. First table when orally segmenting two similar words - does the initial/final/medial phoneme sound the same. Tick or cross as appropriate. Then use the second table to compare when spelling the two similar words.
Words used for this activity were feel and fell.
Works well when used as a word work or phonics session when doing the Three Little Pigs.
Nursery rhymes in large print for shared reading; Little Miss Muffet - sequencing cards to be printed, cut and laminated; ick & ock - sort items by the rime into 2 columns; Rhyming tracking board game (Use counters é dice. Chn to land on a word, say the word, then find a word that rhymes with it)
A set of reading comprehension sheets to go alongside the Lime level books. New vocabulary - write the definition (promoting dictionary skills), answering what, where, why, how questions, writing facts in a list, reviewing the book
Based on my shared writing activity, I have made a zigzag style book. Created in Publisher on an A3 format, the page can be folded (and glued) in half horizontally and then folded to make the zigzags. Children can complete the missing words and draw a picture of their animal. They can then stick a post-it note over the picture or draw a picture of a box and sellotape it over the top to make the flap. Would be interesting to have flaps opening from different directions or different shapes!
A set of rhyming number bonds with a fairy-tale theme.
Goldilocks, Sleeping Beauty, Jack & the Beanstalk, Little Red Hen, Cinderella, Alice in Wonderland, Snow White
