Welcome to a new week Home Learners! It was lovely to speak to some of you and your parents on the telephone last week. I hope that you are all keeping well and have enjoyed the bank holiday weekend. I am posting some ideas for English and Maths today. I will be adding ideas for other subjects later in the week including some activities about Florence Nightingale as it will be 200 years on Tuesday since she was born.

Try Activity 2 on Tuesday or plan your description of a magical plant on Tuesday and write your description on Wednesday. Try Activity 3 on Wednesday or Thursday. I have then added some extra materials if you need them.

Coordinates Spelling Game

Our maths this week involves a lot of new learning so please don’t panic if you find it challenging. If you struggle with a question, have a look at the answer, see if you can understand how the answer was reached and then cover up the answer and have a go at the question yourself. The worksheets move on quite quickly so don’t worry if you can’t complete all the questions, just have your best go!

Next, have a go at answering these questions.

Questions about the story

Try some of the following writing activities:

Write a prequel to the book that explains where the monsters came from. How did they arrive in Jim’s bedroom?

Possible start to task

Write a sequel to the book. What happens to Jim and the monsters the following night?

Possible start to task 2

Monster Story Planning Sheet

You might also enjoy creating your own illustrations or models of monsters. Watch this video of Chris Riddell drawing Mr Underbed for some inspiration.

Additional ideas!

Write a conversation between Jim and Mr Underbed. This would be a good opportunity to practise using inverted commas (speech marks) Year 3.      Year 2 could draw speech bubbles.

Paint a picture of the place where Mr Underbed came from.

Think of some words to describe the setting of Jim’s bedroom.

Write a description of Mr Underbed or another monster.
