Good Morning,
I hope you have enjoyed exploring so far this week.
Below are the learning activities for today.
English
| Learning Objective/Focus: | Make a word chain | |
| Main input | Word chains are where you start with a word and change one letter to make a new word. E.g. start with chip. Change 1 letter to make a new word. E.g. chin—then shin- then spin etc. | |
| Activities | Start with a 4 letter word. Try to change each letter at least once, but challenge yourself to see how long you can make the chain. Write them as a list to help you keep count of all the new words you have made. Here are some suggested words to start: Spot, cats, dogs, four. | |
| Explore a range of your own starting words. Find out what happens when you start with 3 letter words. Is the chain longer? | ||
| Challenge yourself with 5 letter words. E.g. frame, place, scope, grass. Try some of your own. | ||
| Extension Activity Ideas | Write down your full name and use the letters to make smaller words. |
