Good Morning Home School! 
Teams chat at 10 o'clock
I am really looking forward to our Teams chat this morning at 10 o'clock.
To get on you just need to log into Teams and you should see a thread near the bottom that looks like this:
You just need to click in the blue bar with the words 'Our first Home School Teams meeting' and then click on the 
button in the top right of the screen. The next screen asks you to 'Choose your video and audio options' and you need to make sure that you have microphone and camera enabled (not crossed out) then click 'Join now' in the bottom right of that screen. You will now be in the 'Lobby' where you need to wait for me to let you into the meeting.
Morning work
Y1 - write the numbers 1 to 10 as numerals using your whiteboard pen and the laminated sheet headed 'Writing numbers'. Can you say the number formation rhyme as you write?
Y2 - Write the numbers 1 to 10 in numerals and words using your whiteboard pen on the back of your laminated letter formation sheet. Did you form all of your numbers correctly using the rhyme above?
Check your spelling using the back of your dictionaries or click on the Home Learning tab at the top of the page.

What would your dragon machine look like? What would it be able to do? I want you to design your own Dragon Machine.
In your Yellow Home School book write the title
The Dragon Machine
Did you remember how to form those capital letters correctly? Now write the short date in the margin. You can find the short date at the top of this page. Now draw a picture of your dragon machine design in the top half of the page. (Don't worry about drawing on the lined paper at home.) Label your picture and write some sentences underneath your drawing to describe what your dragon machine looks like, what it has on it and what it can do.
You can't see my picture but here are some of my sentences:
My dragon machine has enourmous metal wings that help it to fly high above the clouds. The long tail is bolted together so that it can wave from side to side. It has a hollow head that is so big I can fit inside it.
Can you imagine what my dragon machine looks like and can do?
Y2 - I have highlighted all the adjectives that I have used. Can you highlight all the adjectives that you have used. Remember adjectives describe nouns.
Take a photo of your work and email it to me at mrshickingbotham@gfschools.co.uk
