Challenge Part 2

This week, the second part of your challenge is to go outside and play!

Challenge - Week 8

Room 20 children and our followers - your challenge, should you choose to accept it (which we hope you will!), for this week is to leave a comment on our blog. This could be telling us all how fantastic the blog is, or replying to a post that we put on. Mrs W will be checking to see all members of our amazing class have contributed during the week.

Good luck! We can't wait to check what you have written.

Spiders Home Challenge

Ask Mum or Dad to help print this out for you if you wish and follow the instructions. Mrs W has a few copies (not a whole class set) if you can't print it at home. You can also make a tally chart of the blends instead of printing it out!

Spider Find the Blends

A blend is two consonants that are next to each other in a word and blend to form a new sound. Find the blends in the following paragraph.

Most spiders can spin silk. They do this by making a thick gel inside their bodies. Then they squeeze it out through a tiny opening. When the air hits it, the strand dries and becomes strong.

Good luck! Let me know at school how many you found.
