Today we are learning about the split digraph ‘o-e’ which can be found in words like home, nose and bone. Below are some videos to watch going through some ‘o-e’ sound words.

Today we would like you to create your own animal and write about it.

Start by drawing a picture of your animal. What type of skin covering does it have? Has it got hair/fur, scales, feathers or something else? What colour is it? If it has legs, how many legs does it have? What is your animal called?

Now write some sentences to describe your animal in your home learning book or on some lined paper. Here are some other questions to consider:

1. What animal group does your animal belong to? Is it a mammal or a reptile or a bird or a fish or an amphibian or a minibeast?

2. What will your animal eat? Is it a carnivore, herbivore or omnivore?

3. Will your animal come out during the day (diurnal) or at night (nocturnal)?

4. Where will your animal live (its habitat)? Is it somewhere hot or cold? Does it live on land or in water?

Please remember to send photographs of your pictures and writing to the class email address for us to see.
