Your task is to write a diary entry as the wolf in Little Red Riding Hood. You are going to write as if you are writing your diary in Granny’s bed while waiting for Little Red Riding Hood to arrive.

What I’m Looking For:

How did you feel when you were talking to her?
Why did you tell her a different route to Granny’s house?
What did you do to Granny?
What are you hoping to do to Little Red Riding Hood?

Reading and Phonics

Children should spend 20 minutes at least three times per week using Lexia or Reading Plus.

Some children should take part in daily phonics from Ruth Miskin (this may be good for a recap of their phonics knowledge!)

Maths

In Maths, we will spend the week focusing on a particular topic e.g. shape or place value. Activities will then be set on Mathletics that are based upon this subject.
