Relish the illustrations and amusing scenarios. Invite children to select their favourite and to use because to provide a reason for their opinion, e.g. A whale riding a bike because it is funny to see something so big on something so small. Common Exception Words - these are what Y1 weekly spellings are based on. However, I am aware that we are at the 'revision' stage of the year now and have covered them. So I have uploaded Y1 and Y2 words for you to look at and choose what is appropriate. This is a three-sessionspelling seed for the book Naughty Bus by Jan Oke. Below is the coverage from Appendix 1 of the National Curriculum 2014.

English - write own naughty bus (or other form of transport!) story (focus on capital letters, full stops, question marks and exclamation marks, adjectives and conjunctions e.g. The Naughty Bus raced towards the deep pond but suddenly stopped ! ) Our topic this term is based around the story 'Naughty Bus' by Jan Oke. I have uploaded a copy of the text and a YouTube link to read/watch the story. Ideas for this term could include:English - Looking at stories in familiar settings and writing your own about your favourite toy. Looking at non fiction texts and non-chronological reports and creating your own. Writing an old toy information book. Remember to focus on capital letters, full stops, exclamation marks, question marks, adjectives (describing words) and conjunctions (connecting words in a sentence) E.g The old teddy was sat on the dusty chair because the girl had left it there !

Take close up photos together of the bus in different places, inside and out. Ifpossible print themand make a book ofyour naughty busphotos together.Ask your child to tell you about each photo and scribe their words as captions to gowith the pictures. Alternatively you could look atdigital photos together as a slide show or makeaphotostory with them. Sing a song Phonics - I have included all the sheets with sounds on right from the beginning of Reception to the end of Year 1. Some of you might find it helpful to 'assess' where your child is or any gaps that are missing. A variety of Home School Certificates (you can edit them) - might help motivate some children - keep going everyone - you're doing great! Inside this resource, you’ll find a fun bus writing template in portrait orientation. Featuring colourful illustrations of a London bus, as well as plenty of space for children to write and draw pictures, this template will spark children’s imaginations during a range of writing tasks. For instance, your pupils could use it to write a short story, a poem or even an account of a trip they went on! Science - plants - with the weather being nice, I thought it would be a good idea to have some things to do in/around/about the garden.Computing/ICT - plan, direct and film your own 'Naughty Bus' (or Naughty *other form of transport*) story. You could add subtitles, music, narrate it. Use the YouTube link as a guide to help you. Share Mrs. Armitage on Wheels Identify each problem Mrs. Armitage solves.
