Summer 2 Project
Tree-mendous Trees and Fabulous Flowers
Professor Poppy got in touch and asked for our help with her plant study. She is trying to find out about the plants that grow in the local area but it’s too much for her to do alone! The children were asked to become scientists and find out about the trees and flowers that can be found at school. They were also asked to grow some plants themselves.
Home Learning
Project Vocabulary
During our project, we are looking to develop the children's understanding and use of a range of vocabulary that is crucial to our learning. Our aim is to teach the children this vocabulary so that they can explain what it means. They should also be able to use it in a range of contexts both at school and at home. The children should be able to use it verbally when they talk and also in their written work.
Please work with your child to develop their understanding of the definition of the word and to use this vocabulary with you at home.
Key Project Vocabulary:
plant seed bulb growth trunk twig branch root bud stem germinate temperature pest wild shoot structure seedling flowering habitat micro-habitat classify observe investigate deciduous evergreen
Reading for Pleasure!
Each year, the website 'Books for Topics' creates a recommended book list that children in each year group would enjoy.
We have attached their ideas for this current school year.
Enjoy!
Reading - Tricky Words
Here are the tricky words from the Little Wandle Programme. These can be practised at home with your child.
Phonics Support
The Little Wandle website has some fantastic videos to support parents who might be a little unsure about how to pronounce the sounds. We have included a link to them below.
Phonics - say the sound video link
Here are some phonic help guides to support parents with the different sounds we will learn.
