Whole School Writing Homework 

Tell us about your heroes 

The Kent and Medway Charity Team, in collaboration with KCC and the Reconnect Programme, is excited to give children and young people across Kent the opportunity to tell us about their heroes. 

Over the past two years we have seen HEROES come in all shapes and sizes and we want you to tell us about your HERO! Your HERO could be your Mum, Dad, Brother, Sister or someone from your local community or even someone famous from where you live. They can be real or fictional and could even be a superhero – it’s up to you! Your entry can be: 

  • A short story 
  • A poem 
  • A short play 
  • An essay 
  • A comic 
  • Or even a sound recording  It really is up to you. The ONLY thing you have to remember is that there needs to be a Hero at the centre of your entry but ALL entries MUST be a maximum of 500 words and completely your own individual and original work!  There will be three Kent Big Writing Challenge Champions selected from our district winners! All of our winners will be invited to an exclusive awards ceremony where they will be awarded:

    Please include your child’s full name and class details. We will be posting all of our entries together.    

     Happy writing! 

Dear Parents and Carers, 

This week we started a maths project finalising with making a cupcake each to decorate and enjoy. 

We are using a normal vanilla cupcake recipe with the ingredients as follows: 

  • Self-Raising Flour
  • Caster and Icing Sugar
  • Egg
  • Butter
  • Vanilla Extract
  • Milk

There will be a selection of sprinkles for the children to choose from, or they may wish to bring their own sweets to decorate the top of their cupcake. These can be brought in in a small sandwich bag labelled with their name. No nuts please. 

As we have our Jubilee celebrations on that day, the children may wish to eat their cupcake during our picnic lunch. If there are any issues with your child eating the above ingredients, please do let the school office know. 

Many thanks, Mrs Neale

 

HOMEWORK - 13TH MAY 2022

Hi Parents and Carers, 

WOW, what a week it has been! The children have been truly incredible and I couldn't be prouder of each and every one of them. 

Many members of staff commented on how grown up and calm they all were as they approached each test and I can't thank you enough for the support you have provided to your child to ensure they are coming into school ready to tackle each day. It really has made all the difference. 

For this week's home learning I'd like them to log onto their Google Classroom (they have their log ins in their reading records) and to continue to research their topic for their project for next term. They can continue to add their notes to the Google Doc linked to the assignment. 

I hope you all have a wonderful relaxing weekend. 

Mrs Neale

 

HOMEWORK - 6TH MAY 2022
 

There will be no set homework for the children this week, they just need to relax and prepare for their SATs tests next week.

The children can join Breakfast Club on the days that SATs take place, and please just let the school office know in advance.

Mrs. Neale

 

HOMEWORK - 29TH APRIL 2022

HOMEWORK - 22ND APRIL 2022

Welcome back to term 5! 

I hope you all had a wonderfully restful break. 

We have a busy and exciting term ahead of us and the children have returned ready to work hard and be the best version of themselves. 

This week's homework follow on from the multiplication booster we will have done this week. As we near SATs week - we are preparing the children by having short retrieval sessions on key mathematical concepts. 

As usual, please ensure your child is reading at least 4 times a week (signing and bringing in their reading record), along with practising their spellings and time tables regularly. 

Have a lovely weekend. 

Kind regards,

HOMEWORK - 1ST APRIL - EASTER BREAK

The children's homework over the holidays is to rest well and spend time with friends and family. There is always reading, Times Tables and spellings revision for those children who are extra keen and are able to fit it in between relaxing and family time. 

Have a great Easter Holidays and see you all in TERM 5!

 

HOMEWORK - 18TH & 25TH MARCH 2022

Homework for 18th March and 25th March. 

Please refer to the maths and GPS knowledge organisers I have posted in the previous two weeks.   Your child can continue to revise these key terms; some suggestions on how they can do this: 

Play these: Kahoot Quiz (SPag) Kahoot Quiz (Maths)

Quick Fire questions 2/3 minutes per day

Can they create their own knowledge organiser of key terms? Can they do it from memory if only given the term and not the definition. If they need to refer to completed sheet, can they do it again in a few day's time, but without having the check? 

With SATs fast approaching, quick recall of these facts will help your child when sitting the tests. If you have any questions about how you can further support your child in preparing for them, please do not hesitate to contact me. 

Whole school Easter garden

Using recycled materials, create an Easter garden which you can bring into school. This will be displayed for everyone to see!  All the details are in the Lenten letter that has previously been sent out. 

Have a good weekend.

HOMEWORK - 11TH MARCH 2022

Dear parents and carers, 

Please see the attached terminology sheet. As with the maths knowledge organiser from last week, this should be used frequently to help your child revise key vocabulary related to Grammar, Punctuation and Spelling.

If your child is unsure of a term's meaning, or how to give an example of it please take a look at the following website to help them brush up their understanding: 

BBC Bitesize

Oak National Academy

Oxford Owl

It is incredibly important that all children continue to revise their times tables, read at least 4 times a week and practise their spellings. 

Have a wonderful weekend!

Homework - 4th March 2022

Dear Parents and Carers, 

This week's homework is some revision of key mathematical facts. One of the links will take you to a knowledge organiser, I strongly recommend you stick this up somewhere prominent and regularly quiz your child on some of the facts - regular, short bursts of revision will help the knowledge stick best. 

There is also a quiz for your child to complete. They are to check their answers themselves against the knowledge organiser and tick or fix where necessary. 

Have a lovely weekend.

Please see the attached PowerPoint presentation for details of the lessons this week.

 

Day of the week

Topic

Activity

Monday

INSET DAY

 

Tuesday

LO: to understand how propaganda persuades its readers

Look at slides 2-4 and read the first few pages of ‘Rose Blanche’.

 

What do you think about what is happening in these pages? Is there anything strange happening? Look closely at the people, what can you say about them?

 

What country are these people in and how do you know?

 

Who is Rose Blanche? Make a prediction about what might be important about her in this story?

 

Slide 5 – consider what ‘propaganda’ is. You may wish to research this a little further and find out more about it. Look at the pictures on the slide, what do they have in common?

 

Look at the model text (attached) of a persuasive advert about joining the Land Army. Using Slides 6 and 7 to help you, highlight the features you can find. They have been sorted into text features and grammar/punctuation features.

Wednesday

LO: to plan a persuasive advert

Look at Slide 11:

  • Why are they so excited?
  • What have they been told to think that all of this something to celebrate?
  • How do you get someone to do something they might not want to do, or to behave in a certain way?

 

We are going to be writing a persuasive advert to the families of the soldiers who are being sent away. What will you have to tell them to make them believe that what is happening is a good thing and something to celebrate? Use information we have from the story, what does Rose tell us about what is happening that could help you persuade your reader?

 

One of the features we found is that an advert has headings – jot down some ideas of what your heading could be. It needs to be catchy!

 

You will also need to think about sub-headings you are going to use in your advert – what are the things that will be most convincing of the cause you are trying to promote? This will help your organise your paragraphs.

 

Using the planning box template to then map out some of your other ideas. Remember to use the model text to help develop your ideas. Planning is meant to be a way of getting all your ideas down, so you should fill this sheet up – you may decide not to use it all when it comes to writing.

Thursday

LO: to write a persuasive advert

Have a read of the model text again and remind yourself of the features. Think about what is strong in that model and how you can replicate it in your own writing.

 

Thursday and Friday’s lessons are going to be spent writing our adverts. It is important that you are editing and improving as you go along. Read your writing out loud, get a sibling or a grown up to check it. Consider what your personal targets are (do you need to remember accurate punctuation or a certain spelling you find tricky) and carefully check for those.

 

Finally – bring it into school so that we can celebrate your super writing together!

Friday

Reading – Read your book for at least 20 minutes each day. Choose two of the activities below to do over the course of the week:

  • Write a summary about what you have read so far
  • Draw your favourite scene
  • Create a playscript of the story you are reading
  • Write a prediction of what will happen next in the story
  • If you finish the book, write a review (you could create a double page spread that can be put into our reading scrapbook)

We will be starting a new class novel called ‘When the Sky Falls’ by Phil Earle. It is linked to our topic. The first three chapters are here – please have a read of them so that you will have less to catch up on when you come back to class.

There is also an additional lesson you may like to complete on book recommendations.

Science –   No science due to INSET day.

RE –  To be confirmed ASAP

DT -

ICT –  Please log onto your DB Primary account (if you don’t have your log in, please contact the office) and complete the activity on your dashboard.

PE - Try and get outside if you have a garden. If it is rainy why not ask your family to put on an exercise video that you can enjoy. The Joe Wicks ones are still on You Tube or maybe try Just Dance or similar.

RHE – This week we will be looking at the Seven Principles of Catholic Social Teaching. They are:

  • Dignity – assist organisations that campaign for peace
  • Family, Community, Participation – give to charities
  • Rights and Responsibilities – not take more than our share
  • Care for Poor and Vulnerable – donate to foodbanks
  • Rights of Workers – treat people who help us in shops with respect
  • Solidarity – sponsor a child to go to school
  • Care for God’s Creation – recycle, not use more than we need

You might want to research what each of these teachings mean and other ideas of how people can demonstrate them. I would then like you to think about how you demonstrate them yourself. You might like to consider how you could focus on one of them and introduce some ways of showing it more often in your own life.

You can turn this into a creative activity, if you would like by drawing or painting a picture of what one of the teachings means to you. You could take pictures of yourself carrying some of these teachings at home and create a collage to celebrate it.

We are all capable of making the world a better place and this is an excellent place to start.

French (KS2 only) –  Have a go at some of the lesson into this unit from Oak Academy.

Spellings –  Continue to practice the spelling that were given to you on the last day of term.

See below for new spellings to be given out on Friday:

vehicle

wreck

stomach

occupy

prospect

accommodate

conscription

HOMEWORK - 11TH FEBRUARY 2022

Dear Parents and Carers, 

We have finally made it to half-term! It feels like a very long time ago that we were on Christmas break and I hope you have plenty of wonderful things planned for the half-term holiday. 

We have been working so hard in class this term and I couldn't be prouder of the children for turning up each day to try their very best. 

The homework this week is to revise finding percentages of an amount. This is something that with frequent practice children will be able to do quickly and for some calculations, mentally. Practise of this in real-life contexts will be incredibly useful to the children not just for school but for life in general. 

Have a wonderful break!

HOMEWORK - 4TH FEBRUARY 2022

Dear Parents and carers, 

We have had a brilliant week this week with lots of great visitors and learning being done. Please see the attached homework on hyphens. This will carry on from our lesson on Monday where we looked at how to use these in our writing and why we use them; this will be a good recall activity for the children. 

As always, please encourage your child to read at least 4 times a week and to sign their reading record themselves. Also - TT Rockstars still remains a very beneficial activity, especially as we near the SATs and children will find the faster they are, the better they will be at answering questions efficiently. 

Thank you for all your support and have a wonderful weekend.

SAFER INTERNET DAY

On Tuesday (and the whole week), we will be finding out more about staying safe whilst gaming. This year’s theme is ‘All fun and games’, and we are looking forward to having some lively debates, giving advice in the form of creating our own games guide and finding out what the pit-falls and positives are with gaming online. I have included all our resources from UK Safer Internet Centre for you to choose from – there is plenty to keep you going!

Maths

On Monday, we complete our learning on percentages, however we will be continuing to perfect our efficiency at finding a percentage of an amount every day so it will be good for you to continue practising that at home too. Perhaps challenge yourself at finding the best deal in a sale where there is a percentage of money off the full price.

Tuesday onwards, we will be focusing on Position and Direction.

Art – I have included the lesson plan for the art session we will be having on Friday. We will be looking at the work of Edward Hooper to help us develop our skills of evaluating and analysing artwork. You are free to choose a different piece of art if you wish; you may have a favourite artist you would like to focus on, or pick a local one such as Shane Record. There are also links in the lesson plan if you wish to choose one of them.

You will need to look at your chosen piece and consider: scene, technique, form and shape, colour and light, the title.

As you will be completing this without all the group work involved it won’t take you very long. If you have the resources available to you, you could create a zentangle stamps to create a repeated pattern with paint or ink, or create your own zentangle doodles like we did a few weeks ago. YouTube have lots of videos if you are lacking inspiration of where to start with your doodle.

ICT –  Continue with your typing practice with Typing Club. You could practice your new typing skills by typing up your writing in English. Your username is your initials and there is no password to put in, just click login.

PE - Try and get outside if you have a garden. If it is rainy why not ask your family to put on an exercise video that you can enjoy. The Joe Wicks ones are still on You Tube or maybe try Just Dance or similar.

LO: to understand how to use verbs for actions

See PPT

 

As you watch the video of ‘The Arrival’, stopping at the points that are detailed on the PPT, collect verbs for actions and feelings. You can jot these down in a Venn diagram to see which words might be in both feeling and action groups.

 

For today’s lesson you are going to be writing a diary entry as the young girl. At every point that the video is paused you will write a section of her diary entry for that day.

 

Remember, that diaries are always written in the first person, so you should use ‘I’.

 

Use the vocabulary you have gathered to include in your diary. Don’t forget to look for more adventurous vocabulary to improve your writing.

 

Re-read your writing back to yourself and make improvements and edits as you go along.

Thursday

LO: to improve my sentences by choosing appropriate alternative vocabulary

See PPT

 

Today, you are going to write from the perspective of the father.

 

The focus of today’s lesson is to choose more adventurous vocabulary so find an online thesaurus to help you. You must make sure that your word choices are appropriate though – just choosing a synonym isn’t a good idea as it might not fit the context of your writing.

 

Watch the video again up until the same point as yesterday, but try your hardest not to watch further than that as you will spoil tomorrow’s lesson.

Friday

LO: to identify how to expand upon a single-clause sentence

See PPT

 

You will be watching a bit further on in the video today, to the point where the people are leaving the boat. You will be writing a description of what is happening as these people arrive in the dock and disembark from the boat.

 

There is a modelled paragraph on the PPT for you to use to help you.

 

When developing your sentences, also strips of paper to write your adverbials but time, place and how, moving them around to ensure that your sentence is its most effective.

 

Reading – Read your book for at least 20 minutes each day. Choose two of the activities below to do over the course of the week:

  • Write a summary about what you have read so far
  • Draw your favourite scene
  • Create a playscript of the story you are reading
  • Write a prediction of what will happen next in the story
  • If you finish the book, write a review (you could create a double page spread that can be put into our reading scrapbook)

In class, we will also be sharing these two reading sessions:

History – In class, we will be following up our mummification of tomatoes and making observations on what has happened to our tomatoes. As as activity at home, you may like to mummify your own tomato and observe the changes that it makes over the time you are at home.

There are many different ways that you can mummify a tomatoes (or something else if you’re feeling adventurous). Research the internet to find a method that works for the ingredients you might have at home, or are easily accessible for you.

Geography – No geography this week.

Art – We are going to continue our work on Zentangles this week and great our own prints of our designs. If you have equipment (paints, roller, polystyrene, paper) to be able to make prints, then re-create a zentangle design and make a repeating printing pattern. If you do not have any equipment, search for one of the zentangle doodle videos on YouTube and continue to practise your own collection of doodles.

ICT –  Continue with your typing practice with Typing Club. You could practice your new typing skills by typing up your writing in English. Your username is you initials and there is no password to put in, just click login.

PE - Try and get outside if you have a garden. If it is rainy why not ask your family to put on an exercise video that you can enjoy. The Joe Wicks ones are still on You Tube or maybe try Just Dance or similar.

Can you use each of these words in a sentence? Perhaps you can look up what each of these words mean.

Topic

Activity

Monday

LO: to develop the description of a character

In class this week, we are working towards writing our own Egyptian myth. I have broken the activity into lessons, but you may find that you prefer to do this over a longer period of time on one day. Nothing worse that stopping when you’re in the flow of writing – so make the most of having more flexibility as you’re at home.

 

Things you will need to do to be successful:

  • Develop a really good bank of sentences that will describe your character
  • Plan your myth. What will happen in each section? Remember, we tend to stick to five sections: beginning, build-up, problem, resolution and ending. See the PPT I have attached that shows how this looks for the Iris and Osiris myth we looked at last week (see last week’s planning for the attachment)
  • Write a draft – you can do this on the computer, or by hand. But, it is important to tell yourself that this isn’t your perfect finished article, you will come back to it to make improvements. Ask an adult or sibling to read it through for you after you have tried to make all the improvements you can. Use an online thesaurus to help you improve your word choices too.
  • Publish your writing. If you have used a computer, can you add pictures to your story? You could even use PowerPoint to make it into a picture book you could share with a younger child, perhaps even making a video with audio of you reading it added to it. It’s up to you!

 

I have included the week’s PPT for you to look at to guide you through this activity.

Reading – Read your book for at least 20 minutes each day. Choose two of the activities below to do over the course of the week:

  • Write a summary about what you have read so far
  • Draw your favourite scene
  • Create a playscript of the story you are reading
  • Write a prediction of what will happen next in the story
  • If you finish the book, write a review (you could create a double page spread that can be put into our reading scrapbook)

In class, we will also be studying stretching our reading skills to look at some articles on smoking, drugs and alchohol (in line with our RHE curriculum lesson we had before Christmas) and Holes by Louis Sachar.

RE –  

The Bible is by far the best-selling book of all time.

The word Bible means book, although actually it is a collection of different kinds of books or writings, which we call Holy Scripture. It tells of God’s love and how people responded to that love. The books of the Old Testament tell of the events before the coming of Jesus. The New Testament tells of the birth, life, passion, death and resurrection of Jesus and of how the Church began and grew as it spread the Good News.

Much of what is in the Bible started with telling a story orally and passing it on from one generation to the next. Gradually, over a very long period of time the stories were collated and written down. There are seventy-three books in the Bible, forty-six in the Old Testament and twenty-seven in the New Testament. Nobody knows exactly when each book was written. We do know that it took a thousand years or more for all the books to be completed. The last book was written at the end of the first century AD.

Over many years, many different authors have contributed writings, so there are poetry, letters, prayers, history, documentaries, drama, legend, biography in fact any kind of writing or genre that you would find in a good library. All these authors, regardless of the style in which they wrote, wanted to tell one thing – the truth about God and his love for his people.

The Holy Spirit inspired the authors in their writing. This is why the Church family believes that the Holy Spirit is also the author of the Bible. When Christians read the Bible or listen to the Readings during the Liturgy of Word at Mass, God is truly present and those who hear the Word come, through the power of Holy Spirit, to know and love God the Father and Jesus who was sent by God, to show God’s love for everyone. It was written in three different languages and on three different continents. The Old Testament was originally written in Hebrew, with a few chapters in the prophecies of Ezra and Daniel written in Aramaic. Whilst the New Testament was written in different languages, mainly Greek. Its many authors include fishermen, kings, prophets, poets and musicians. The Bible has been translated into countless different languages and versions.

The Bible is divided into two sections:

The Old Testament – texts written before Jesus Christ was born and covering God’s dealings with the ancient Hebrew world and its people.

The New Testament – writings following the death of Jesus and covering his life and teaching, the establishment of the Christian church, and letters from church leaders.

 We share the Old Testament with the Jewish people. They call it the ‘Hebrew Scriptures’. However, the order and number of the books is slightly different. All Christians share the Bible, Old and New Testaments, but the number and order of the books is often different.

Both Jewish people and Christians treat Holy Scripture, with great reverence and respect, because they believe it is the Word of God. At Mass, the Scriptures are placed on a special reading desk called a ‘lectern’ and are read with care and reverence. At the end of the reading, the priest kisses the Scriptures.

Paul, in his letter to the people of Rome, who were suffering persecution for their faith, explains how Scripture helps us:

Everything written in the Scriptures was written to teach us, in order that we might have hope through the patience and encouragement which the Scriptures give us. And may God, the source of patience and encouragement, enable you to have the same point of view among yourselves by following the example of Christ Jesus, so that all of you together may praise with one voice the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Romans 15: 4-6

(Note that Catholics have 73 books in their Bible not 66, because some Christian Churches do not include some of the books that Catholics do.)

SOME KEY QUESTIONS

  1. What kinds of stories are passed on in your family? What do they tell you about your family?
  2. What do you think the people of God might have thought was important to remember and pass on?
  3. Why is the Bible important to Christians?
  4. When do you hear the Bible being read?
  5. How is the Holy Spirit the author of the Bible?
  6. What do you think is the hope that Paul is referring to in his letter to the Romans? (Hint: it could be the hope for Salvation, for Eternal life.)

 

SOME SUGGESTED ACTIVITIES

  • Look up a reference, for example, Matthew 5: 13-16 in different versions of the Bible. Record the text, note and comment on any differences found and say which version you like and why. Show how the text might influence and shape the life of a Christian
  • Look at a selection of books in the Bible, both the Old and New Testaments. Find out what they are about and classify them into different genres. It may be useful to use Good News Bibles for this purpose.
  • Look at as many different versions of the Bible as you can. (Invite the children to bring in any they may have at home.) Note down similarities and any differences that you find. Decide on a ‘Code of Respect’ for how to treat your Bible. Think about and note down where and how it should be kept and treated.

 

History –  2 lessons

We will be mummifying tomatoes this week. Have a go at this activity.

We will also be learning about the discovery of the Rosetta stone – carry out some research on how it was discovered and what historians learnt about the ancient Egyptian writing.

We will then be making our own cartouches, writing out own names in Egyptian hieroglyphs. See the attached hieroglyph and cartouche sheets.

ICT –  Continue with your typing practice with Typing Club. You could practice your new typing skills by typing up your writing in English. Your username is you initials and there is no password to put in, just click login.

PE - Try and get outside if you have a garden. If it is rainy why not ask your family to put on an exercise video that you can enjoy. The Joe Wicks ones are still on You Tube or maybe try Just Dance or similar.

Spellings –  spellings with the sound ‘er’.

heard

soldier

research

herd

determined

government

favourite

average

controversy

desperate

Can you use each of these words in a sentence? Perhaps you can look up what each of these words mean.

It is always good to practise words you have learnt previously to help you remember their correct spelling. Have a go at this game, picking some spelling lists from previous years.

Day of the week

Topic

Activity

Monday

 

 

Tuesday

LO: to explore creation stories

Look at the creation stories on the PPT and in the attached links. Create a table of the similarities and differences between the stories.

 

You may wish to discuss other creation stories you know, or research them further on the internet.

Wednesday

LO: to understand the features of an Egyptian myth

Read the story of Isis and Osiris. This is our model text for our myth writing. What features do you notice in the story? Take a look at slide 25 for some clues about what you need to include to write an effective myth.

 

Note: we are not just look at grammatical features so this shouldn’t be a list of writing devices such as ‘capital letters and full stops’. However, you might want to think about whether speech is included, what kind of tense it is written in, is it formal or informal/active or passive voice?  

Thursday

LO: to develop character and setting

You may wish to do this lesson after you have carried out some research in Ancient Egypt.

 

Setting

What kind of setting is your myth going to be set in? How would you describe it? You can produce a drawing or painting to display your setting and gather together lots of interesting vocabulary that will describe it and bring it to life for your reader.

 

Character

Slide 29 on the PPT shows a variety of gods and goddesses that you may want to include in your myth. We will have learnt about most of these when we looked at the Egyptian creation story on Tuesday. You may want to research your chosen one a bit more. Thinking about what they’re the god or goddess of, how would this effect their character? How would you describe them. Remember, it is not just adjectives alone that describe a character, adverbs and expanded noun phrases should too, for example:

‘The majestic and poised Nut looked down gracefully from high in the sky.’

You can use this opportunity to come up with phrases as well as just single words to describe your character/s.

Friday

LO: to use senses to describe a setting

Follow the slides on the PPT.

 

Reading – Read your book for at least 20 minutes each day. Choose two of the activities below to do over the course of the week:

  • Write a summary about what you have read so far
  • Draw your favourite scene
  • Create a playscript of the story you are reading
  • Write a prediction of what will happen next in the story
  • If you finish the book, write a review (you could create a double page spread that can be put into our reading scrapbook)

In class, we will also be studying the lyrics of songs from musicals.

Defying Gravity from Wicked

Waving through a Window from Dear Evan Hansen

Science –  No science in this topic

RE –  Talk about books and how you use them. Note that only a few hundred years ago, books were only for the very rich, as they were costly and written by hand by monks. Later, when printing was first invented, they were still expensive and also very few people could read. Nowadays, books are for everyone.

Discuss whether Kindle or electronic books would ever completely replace actual books. Is it a book or not? What makes a book a book? What are the pros and cons? Is it possible to imagine a world without books? Talk about how books enrich our lives, whether they are electronic or hard copies, how they can take us beyond our environment and our own thoughts and ideas. Discuss how books might have influenced your thinking, ideas or behaviour.

Make a list of all the books you use over the course of the week, why you use them and what for.

Books I have used

Why I used them

What its use is

 

 

 

  1. Which book would you most like to own and why?
  2. Which kind of books are the most helpful to you and why?
  3. Which kind of book would you give a friend or a family member and why?
  4. Why should we treat books with care?
  5. If you wrote a book, what kind would it be and why?
  6. How would you feel if you had a book of your own printed?

 

History – See the link to the PowerPoint, Photos and Worksheet.

Follow the PPT. For this lesson you are going to be looking into artefacts from Ancient Egypt. You can use the internet to further your research but there are photos included to help you. If you have a printer, you may print the worksheet out but this is also a chance for you to be creative and gather your learning about the artefact/s you have chosen in whatever way you wish; double page spread, a poster, a PowerPoint presentation of your own. It’s up to you!

Geography – Internet Research Lesson – Egypt.

Useful websites:

Use your research to create a leaflet about Egypt. Include a map of the country and label it (you may want to draw it yourself, or print one out to label).

Things to think about including:

  • Population
  • Culture
  • Climate
  • Things to do
  • Popular places to visit

ICT –  Continue with your typing practice with Typing Club. You could practice your new typing skills by typing up your writing in English. Your username is you initials and there is no password to put in, just click login.

Art-  See the attached PPT explaining the activity drawing the Evolution of Man artwork. Practise your hatching and cross-hatching to create contoured shapes. Which one is most successful? On the third slide there is an example of sfumato (shading to create a ‘smoked’ effect), have a go at recreating your own version. You could use something in your house to draw, a Christmas decoration perhaps.

Once you have practised these techniques, apply them in a recreation of the Evolution of Man drawing on the final slide.

SpellingsTake a look at the spelling we have been doing since September – are there any that you are unsure of? Practise these and perhaps ask a family member to test you on them.

HOME LEARNING - 29TH NOVEMBER 2021

Home Learning for Monday 29th November 2021

Good morning,

Should you find that you need to keep your child at home today – please see below the home learning they need can complete.

We are focussing on finishing our Charles Darwin diary entries over two lessons for English:

  1. Plan diary entry
    • Four sections (initial thoughts of the voyage, Galapagos Islands, months later and then an entry towards the end of his voyage summing it up).
  2. Write a draft of diary entry
    • Focus use of conjunctive adverbs; semi colons/colons for linking clauses or a detailed list; expanded noun phrases included a prepositional phrase and a relative clause to extra detail.

We will be editing these on Tuesday ready to publish.

Science - https://classroom.thenational.academy/lessons/how-do-fossils-provide-evidence-for-evolution-6gt3ce?from_query=fossils

Children could combine this lesson with a walk around their garden, or local area is not isolating to observe nature and wildlife in the same way that Darwin would have done.

Spelling – look up the meaning of your spelling words this week and use them in a sentence. Can you use more than one of them in the same sentence? Get someone else to test you on them and highlight any that you are finding tricky and need to practice more.

Time Tables Rock Stars – year 5 have a MUCH higher average than us because a few of the members of that class have put in a mammoth effort over the weekend. We are neck and neck for points though. Get yourself logged on and let’s see if we can make a difference to our average!
