Draw and label your own pond habitat picture like the one below to show what creatures live above and below the water! Stick your work in your Home Learning book or keep it safe in your green folder. 

Daily Reading

You must read your reading book every day, just as we do in school. We do this after lunch but you can do it whenever you like! An adult must sign your diary to show this has taken place. You can of course read some of your own books at home to supplement reading. It would be great if this could be recorded in your diary too.  

Additional Activities 

• Practise reading any graphemes sent home
• Practise your multiples and play on TT Rockstars (your login is in your diary and multiples have been set)
• Practise spelling common exception words in your diary (Spelling Challenge)
• Speed read words in your Reading Challenge booklet
• Share your 100 book with your family
