Things to ask me 03.02.23

  • We have been reading a story called Journey this week. We loved it! It’s a story with no words, but you can watch a video of it here if you like. 
  • What was special about the pen that the girl had? (it was a magic pen) 
  • Can you remember any of the vehicles that she drew and travelled in? (boat, hot air balloon, flying carpet, bike) 
  • We also listened to a piece of music called ‘A Short Ride in a Fast Machine’. What sort of machine did you think it was? 
  • Where did you think the machine was going to? 
  • We learnt the tricky word ‘they’ this week. If your grown up writes it down, can you have a go at reading it? 
  • We went on a walk around Pontesbury this week! What vehicles did you see? 
  • There were some vehicles that we didn’t spot any of. What were they? (no bikes, motorbikes or buses) 
  • How did we keep ourselves safe on the walk? (partners, walking away from the pavement, grown ups wore high vis jackets so they could be seen) 
  • Can you think of two numbers that make 5?  
  • We watched The Mixed-Up Chameleon, can you remember what animals the chameleon wanted to be? 
  • Can you remember some of the things that were similar and some of the things that were different about you and your friends in class? (hair colour, likes/dislikes, eye colour etc.) 
  • What is something you are good at? 
  • We listened to different vehicle noises and had to guess what they were. When you’re out and about can you listen for vehicles and guess what they might be before you see them? 
  • We asked each other how they travel to school. Can you remember how many people drove in a car? Walked? Got the bus? Rode a bike? Rode a scooter? 
  • What is our new sound this week? (ai) Can you write it down? Can you write it in a word?
