Can you use adjectives? This week we would like you all to describe dinosaurs using some fantastic adjectives.

Can you help the wizard choose the correct adjectives to unlock the spell cast over the Grammar Government? https://youtu.be/IT-G4c2-CHU

We would love for you to create a set of What am I? cards all about dinosaurs. On one side of a piece of paper write 2 or 3 sentences to describe a dinosaur. On the other side of the flap (piece of paper) write which dinosaur it is and/or draw a picture of it. Example below.

Side 1 I have 3 pointy horns. I love to eat green crunchy leaves.I have a hard beak.What am I?

Side 2 Triceratops

Once you have made 4 What am I? cards see if your family can guess which dinosaurs you are describing.

What is the difference between an Evergreen tree and a Deciduous tree?In Y1 we have previously discussed the seasons and how the weather changes throughout. We would like you to think about how plants, specifically trees, change throughout each season. Can you remember the differences between Evergreen trees and Deciduous trees? Watch this video to see different types of trees. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dn0kDB_gS9w

Why not go for a walk and take photographs of the different trees where you live and see if they are Evergreen or Deciduous. You could also create a picture to show how each type of tree changes throughout the seasons. Or listen to this story about Sid the Seed (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jm12JKhNnWY) and create a story map or comic strip to retell the story. You might even write your own story about an Oak (Deciduous) and a Pine (Evergreen) tree who were best friends.

Here are a few more activities about trees/plants. https://www.woodlandtrust.org.uk/blog/2020/03/tree-id-kids/
