Can you write an Acrostic Poem about Christmas?
Have a look at Miss Shackelford’s example for inspiration:

I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and I am looking forward to seeing you in the new year! 

Miss Shackelford

Thank you to all those children that have sent pictures of their home learning either by email or added to their J2E files. I have really enjoyed looking at them and finding out what you have been up to ! 

We will continue to use our class page for the rest of this half term but should we still need home learning after Christmas, I will start to use J2E for this. I am in the process of being set up on the website and shown how to use it.

Phonics

Literacy:

Today in English we will be re-writing our Christmas play but we will focus on just 8 key moments. Have a think about what the most important moments in the play were and draw pictures to represent these, we will be writing about them on Friday. I have attached a sheet that might help you with the layout of your recount.

Christmas Cards:

I have found some examples of Christmas cards that you could make at home using recycled wrapping paper, newspaper or buttons that you might have around the house.
