Look at the picture below of the Knight. The story looks to be set in a fantasy world with dragons and castles.
Who do you think the knight is?
Where has he come from?
Why is he here?
Who is in the castle? Is there a princess?
And why is there a dragon there too?
Can you think of some answers to these questions? Perhaps you can make up you own story using this picture as a stimulus? Remember to think of the story structure before you start. What will happen in the beginning, middle and end?
Spelling
Practise these words.
they, my, some, come
Try to look at them, cover the word and then write and check. Did you spell it correctly Can you write a sentence containing the word?
Science
Have a look in your garden if you have one. Can you identify any features of Spring? What do you notice? Can you see any buds, new shoots or roots? Make a list of the signs of Spring that you can see. Are there any evergreen leaves in your garden? (those that stay all year round?) Those trees that lose their leaves are called deciduous.
If you do not have access to a garden see if you can watch this short film that looks at the signs of Spring you might see.

The music on this clip is by a composer called Vivaldi and is called ‘Spring!’
Can you draw a Spring picture?
Topic
Look at Paul Klee’s painting ‘The Castle and the Sun’. Can you see the castle in the picture? What shapes can you see? What do you know about the properties of those shapes? See if you can recreate this picture by cutting coloured paper or paints/crayons/pens.
Art
This week Mrs Pearson would like you to create something with a paper plate. Please don’t worry if you do not have one at home you can just draw around a plate and then cut it out.
Mrs Pearson would like you to link it to the country that we would be studying next term, so here are some ideas. However, any creation would be wonderful.
Please email a photo of your artwork to Mrs Pearson and she will share it on the Art Blog.
Keep creating and keep safe!
