Story Mix Up

Mr Moore has written out the story but it is all in the wrong order. Can you help him out by outting it back the right way.

You could write it out in the right order or print it out and stick it in order. You could even write the numbers next to each sentence in the right order.

Healthy Eating Diary

Can you keep a healthy eating diary for a whole day. Record your breakfast, lunch and dinner and any snacks you have had. Remember to write in full sentences. How healthy do you think you have been?

Fruit Description

When Oliver went to the supermarket with his Mum he tried a a fruit he had never eaten before, a pineapple. Can you find a fruit that you have never tried before and write a descrition?

Start by drawing a picture of your new fruit. Make sure you look very closely and really look at the small details?

Then you need to write a sentence about what it looks feels like, smells like and finally what it tastes like.

You could you use the template below if you wanted to.
