Reception Home Learning – Tuesday 2nd February
Good morning
So yesterday we found out that A Midsummer Night’s Dream is set in a magical forest and we used some exciting words to describe it. And we found out that describing words are called adjectives. In the play, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, living in the forest are fairies. There is the King of the fairies called Oberon and his wife Titania is Queen. Working for the King is a very mischievous fairy called Puck who plays all sorts of tricks and he makes mischief wherever he goes … Oberon and Titania often have arguments – you can meet them here:

And here is our little Puck who is going to come into Nightingale and Hargreaves classes. I hope he doesn’t cause us any mischief!
And this is Titania, Queen of the fairies. We need to help Puck by thinking of some words to describe her! She likes to read lots of words and Puck needs our help to think of some more! He can only think of the word nice. Can you think of some words exciting words to describe her and ask your grown ups to help you to write them down? You can put them with your list of words that you used to describe the forest as we will use them later on in the week in your writing.
