This week we will concentrate on the letters u, y and j.
- Click here and go to the ‘Curves to Start – Cursive Letters’ section. Please select the letters u, y and j to watch the short demonstration that will show you how the letter is formed (start at the top).
- Practise writing out the letters using the handwriting sheet attached at the bottom of the page. If you cannot print off the sheet then practise writing out the letters in your home workbooks. Remember to make sure your letters are all the same size!
- Challenge: How many words can you think of that begin with each of these letters?

DESIGN TECHNOLOGY - Vehicles
Our Design and Technology topic this half term is ‘Vehicles’ and it links to our History topic of ‘Significant People and Transportation’.
Your task for the next two weeks is to design and make your own 3D vehicle model!
There is a ‘Vehicle Design Booklet’ attached below that you need to complete. If you cannot print it off then write/draw in your home learning booklet instead. Do not rush this work, please take your time over the two weeks and do what you can as and when you have the time.
Take a look at these pictures. There are lots of examples here of different 3D vehicle models that you could make. Think about the materials that you will need. What materials have you got at home that you could use? Cereal boxes and tissue boxes make a great sturdy base. How will you join sections together? Masking tape works well.
Do you need some more ideas?
Click here for a video on ‘How to make a cardboard tube rocket ship’.
Click here for a video on ‘How to make an aeroplane using a plastic bottle’.
We can’t wait to see your finished work. Don’t forget to email over a photograph of your model.
