English – Narrative Writing This week, we will be finishing our narrative unit based on ‘Th True Story of the 3 Little Pigs”. Monday – Wednesday – we will be finishing the story together Thursday – we will be planning our own twisted traditional tale based on the story of “Goldilocks and the Three Bears”. We will be writing from the point of view of Goldilocks and changing the story to convince the reader that it wasn’t our fault! We will be using a planning sheet to help us (see next page) and we will follow a similar structure to the Three Little Pigs story. The story has been divided into 8 main plot points with symbols to show what areas of writing we will be focusing on. It would be great if you could have this printed off and will you whilst we are planning to write down your ideas. Friday – we will start writing our own version of Goldilocks and the Three Bears as a class before asking you to finish the story on your own. We would love to see your fantastic finished stories so please ask an adult at home to email it to us!
Goldilocks Ideas Introduce Goldilocks Goldilocks is alone and lost in the woods Goldilocks goes into the house and finds 3 bowls of porridge Goldilocks eats the porridge, too hot, too cold, just right.
Goldilocks wants to sit down and tries 3 chairs. She breaks the small chair. Goldilocks tests the beds and falls asleep. The bears come home, find Goldilocks asleep and calls the police. Goldilocks is in jail, even though she thinks she’s innocent.

PSHE- show acts of kindness. Small acts of kindness make a big difference and there are lots of ways we can show people we care. The beginning of the year is a great way to set a calendar for acts of kindness going forward. Think about each month how you would like to show kindness. This might be at home or at school. You can fill 1 act of kindness for each month and decorate it with a picture or how else you would like to. When finished you can then put it up somewhere as a reminder for your acts of kindness in the months going forward.

You can either write your answers on paper or type. If typing please refer to the guide at the back of the home learning pack to help when typing in Spanish.
REMOTE LEARNING – IT Guide for Spanish
You can either write your answers to the activities on paper or type them. If you are typing in Spanish
using Microsoft Word, please do the following:
1. Change the Language to Spanish
First Click ‘Review’ and click on the arrow underneath ‘Language’
Then click ‘Set Proofing Language’ and the following box will appear
Scroll down until you reach ‘Spanish (Spain)’ and select ‘Ok’. Tip: To speed up scrolling, press ‘S’.
This will take you to all of the languages beginning with ‘S’.
Your language is now set to Spanish. So, instead of having your spell check in English, it is now
in Spanish. This will help with spellings and accents
2. Typing accents (áéíóúñ) or Symbols (¿¡)
Setting the language to Spanish will help, as autocorrect may add accents for you. However, you
can add accents yourself by doing the following
- For vowels with accents, simply press ‘Alt Gr’ plus the vowel. For example, ‘Alt Gr’ + ‘a’ = á.
This is the same with capitals. You just need to press shift or Caps Lock.
- For the question marks and exclamation marks, press ‘Alt Gr’ plus the keys you would normally
use for an exclamation/question mark. For example, on my keyboard ‘Shift’ + ‘1’ = ! , as the
exclamation mark is on the same key as number 1. To make this an inverted (upside down)
exclamation mark, ‘Alt Gr’ + ‘shift’ + ‘1’ = ¡
- ñ – To get this letter, go to Insert/Symbol and select ‘More Symbols.A box like this should appear. Highlight the ‘ñ’ then click insert. It should then save the letter for future reference. For advanced users, there are also shortcut keys you can use.
