Your task is to create a wanted poster for the Troll. You will need to include a picture, the characters name, the story he is from, what the Crime is and where he was last seen. You could even include a reward for finding the Troll. You can use the template below (the activity and image is taken from www.twinkl.co.uk) or you can design your own.

Topic – Drama
Today you are going to be a performer and a super storyteller. First, you need to make your puppets. They can be pictures you draw attached to sticks or straws or you could make masks and attach them to your teddies.
Image below is taken from www.twinkl.co.uk
Make a puppet for each of the characters in The Three Billy Goats Gruff. Once you have all of your puppets use them to retell the story. You could even use your bridge from yesterday’s topic lesson as your stage.

Maths lesson 2 –
Click on the link below and follow the video - Lesson 2 - Measure length (1)
https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-1/
Now have a go at the activity:
If you do not have a printer, you can still have a go at the activities by talking about the answers with your adult and then challenging yourself to measure the length of items in your house using your hands, feet, Lego blocks etc.
Literacy Lesson 3 - Skills
Time to plan out the story with a few changes!
You are going to create a story map of the Three Billy Goats Gruff but you are allowed to change the three goats to three different animals.
Think carefully about the animals you choose, they need to live in the countryside in England and still be afraid of the Troll!
In the example below I have changed the Three Billy Goats to the Three Mountain Hares.
Remember to draw simple pictures on your map and keep the same image for the same character, you can add words and phrases and don’t worry if it doesn’t fit on one page. Don’t make it too small as it will be hard to read back and you will need your plan to help you with your next lesson.

So, today’s lesson is to watch the online phonics lesson. I have added them as an optional activity this week so you might already know what to expect. Phonics is great way to help with your reading, writing and therefore all other subjects. Little and often is key to phonics teaching, which is why we usually have daily phonic lessons at school. Enjoy!
