CM1 – First came the hedgehog

Hello CM1! How are you this afternoon?

Did you watch my WhatsApp video? The one dedicated especially to CM1 students?

Good…

Now, here is a hedgehog. Can you read the words inside the hedgehog? Can you tell me anything about the words? Can you use them in a sentence?

Here is a hedgehog.

Menu of the Day

Starter – Look carefully at the words inside the hedgehog. What can you tell me about them? Answer in the comments section below .

Main – Now you have sorted the words into Common and Proper nouns, write separate sentences using BOTH the common and proper nouns. EG – Mars is not a country.

Dessert – Play the MATCH noun sorting game. Match the common nouns to the proper nouns. https://quizlet.com/22230810/match EG – common noun – month = proper noun January.

Add your results and questions in the comments. Good luck!

Is Julien jumping high enough?

OK CM1 and CM2 – here is a wordsearch filled – not with OUGH words themselves – but their synonyms and antonyms.

Synonyms are words that mean the same as another word. For example – up and rise.

Antonyms are words that mean the opposite of the word. For example – up and down.

Your instructions are below –

1. Find the TEN words in the word search. If you don’t have a printer you can find them online, then write the words, with the letter at the beginning and the end so I know you have done the job.

EG if we’re looking for the word – SCHOOL, I want you to write B X S C H O O L M N

2. Match the synonyms and antonyms to the OUGH words – use a dictionary to help you!

http://www.thesaurus.com is good if you do not have a book dictionary.

3. Write new words in your personal dictionary.

PE – A new challenge!

So how are we going to do this?

Ok Team CM! Friday is a PE day. Now that we’re all at home, we’ve got the added challenge of keeping fit without la grande cour to run around in…. But do not despair! I’ve got a couple of ideas that should keep us all nice and active.

I propose we still keep our Race to Sagarmatha going. There are two options for us to keep running. Option A – If you have a garden, measure how far it is from one end to the other – eg one lap = 20m – and then count your laps. Option B – If you don’t have a garden or yard to run in, let’s work work out some equivalent exercises so we can all still contribute to the race. For example – 20 squats = 20m.

I propose this formula – ONE thirty minute PE lesson with Joe = running for 250 metres.

If you can prove to me today that you did PE with Joe from 14.45 until 15.15 (I’ve had one video of two students doing PE already) then we can move our chart along a few kilometres. Right now, we’re almost at ‘Toys R Us’ in Bangkok.

Now, if you have any suggestions for exercises we could do in place of running – please add them in the comments box below – with a photograph of your demonstrating the exercise, of course!
