Today’s comprehension is “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland”. To complete the comprehension, open the attachment on Class Story. There are 3 versions of the comprehension; you decide which one matches your ability. The first one, with one star, we would class as bronze and the final one, with 3 stars, we would class as gold. The questions are mostly inference; imagine you are Alice to help you write about her possible thoughts and feelings. Remember, to pull the text apart, annotate in it in any colour and use a dictionary to clarify words you are not sure of their meaning. The answers can also be found on the attachment.

Fitness Challenge: Alphabet Activities: For your full name e.g. Harry Potter, complete the activities from the alphabet below.

This week, we are going to look at the different feelings and emotions we might feel. Emotions are the names given to our feelings. They describe the way we feel at different times and enable us to process the situation we are in and how we are responding to it. Our emotions can change quickly from one

moment to the next and sometimes certain emotions can last a long time. Watch this short YouTube clip that explains emotions and feelings. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3fTRWpf-eH4 Task 1: Compile an alphabetical list of emotions and feelings e.g. a = afraid, angry, annoyed. Can you find an emotion of feeling for each letter of the alphabet? Task 2: Now create a graffiti emotions and feelings wall, experiment with a variety of colourful graffiti styles e.g.

Write about events / times that you would be happy to share in class. It is up to you how to present this piece of work, you could list them using emoji faces or in a table like below:

Remember to check your answers, before marking your work.

15 mins reading aloud to someone else. 10 minutes of daily spellings. Spellings Day 3: For each spelling write a sentence that shows its definition e.g. My teacher didn’t believe me, when I said my pet gerbil had nibbled my homework! Today, you will write 4 sentences describing the two given pictures. The main focus of this piece of work is for you to add expanded noun phrases to describe nouns in the pictures. You can watch the following clip that will introduce the writing task: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0e6Odjo-bk We want you to challenge yourselves to write quality sentences by not only including expanded noun phrases, but also fronted adverbials, WOW words, similes, metaphors, personification and conjunctions.

Fitness challenge: Use the alphabet to complete the activities that spell the name of the road you live on e.g. School Lane. One change people may experience that causes a mixture of emotions is moving house. Watch the short clip from “Inside Out” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8XInTTCydDQ&app=desktop As you watch the clip, look at Riley, the main character, her facial expressions and gestures tell you how she is feeling. When she saw her new bedroom for the first time, it was clear that she was not happy, it was empty. Now this is where you come in to cheer Riley up. Your task today is to draw Riley’s new bedroom. You can decide upon the colour scheme, the furniture, where you place the furniture etc. To help you with this task, you are firstly going to follow the clip below that will show you how to sketch a bedroom. You will need a sharp pencil, paper, a ruler and a rubber. Remember when you sketch your lines have to be very faint. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5Ol1TT5JfY

Now it’s your turn to be creative, you want to make Riley feel at home in their new house; her room needs to be somewhere where she can relax, have fun and possibly even do her homework there. Your teachers would love to see Riley’s new room, feel free to send us photos.

in a fancy font e.g. believe, circle,

different etc.

Today, you will be using subordinating conjunctions to write complex sentences. To remind you what conjunctions are listening to this catchy song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FK2Gyto5gTQ Task 1: How many conjunctions can you find in the wordsearch? Those you find add them to the conjunction box. Task 2: Select 6 conjunctions and write your own complex sentences. An example of a complex sentence with a main and subordinate clause has been included on the sheet; the clauses are colour coded to help you.

Fitness challenge: Whilst home schooling, on Thursday nights many of us clapped to say thank you to all the key workers. As it is Thursday today, you will complete the activities to spell “Thank you NHS”. Tomorrow in English, you are going to write a poem about different emotions. To help prepare you for this, you are going to answer the questions below to describe 5 of your own different emotions. You could select from some of these: fear, joy, anxiety, love, trust, anger, sadness, sorrow, sympathy, happiness, pride, peaceful, patient, calm, envy or any other emotions you can think of. How you plan your work is up to you, you could use a table or list your answers. These are the questions and an example for fear: What colour would it be? black like storm clouds accumulating above What does it taste like? bitter, sherbet lemons, make me close my eyes What does smell like? burning, destructive fires What does it look like? eerie, deserted street What does it sound like? ricocheting footsteps approaching What does it feel like? being alone when you have a nightmare Be imaginative and try and place yourself in the emotions you are describing, that will help you plan your ideas.

15 mins decide from: TT RockStars, Tackling Tables or Topmarks: https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/hit-the-button. Lesson 5 today is a series of maths challenges, like last week. They might revise some areas of maths we have already studied. Be positive, show resilience, and attempt as many of the problems as possible. These are building your ability to complete reasoning and problem solving skills. If you prefer, complete “True or False” measurement statements. These have been sent as an attachment on Class Story. The sheets are differentiated: one star = bronze two stars = silver three stars = gold

15 mins reading aloud to someone else. Spellings Day 5: You have had these spellings to learn, since you were in Y3, fingers crossed today, you are going to score 10 / 10. Good luck! Today, you will write your emotions poem, using your ideas from yesterday. Each verse could follow the same pattern or you might like to mix the order of the sentences up. Remember, your poem will have 5 verses, one for each of your chosen emotions. Here is one possible order for the verse describing fear. Fear is black, storm clouds accumulating above my house. It tastes like sherbet lemons, so bitter I instinctively close my eyes. It smells like burning, destructive fires devouring anything in their path. It looks like eerie, deserted streets, not a soul is stirring. It sounds like ricocheting footsteps approaching closer, closer in a suspense film. It feels like being alone at night when you wake up from a nightmare. As your read this verse, could you picture the images being described? Read your completed poems out to someone else. Did the verses conjure up those emotions in that person? Your teachers would love to be able to share your work, add it to your portfolio

Fitness challenge: Lots of people have been inspirational during the past few months. Today we’d like you to perform the activities to salute Sir Tom Moore. He has just celebrated his 100th birthday and by completing laps of his garden, raised the staggering sum of £32,000,000 to support the NHS. This afternoon, you are going to be an artist. Paintings create different feelings and emotions to different people. What emotions do these paintings create in you? How do you think the artist achieved this?

or send a photo as part of a message.

Three different styles of art, this afternoon, we would like you to create your own piece of art work based on an emotion. You could use paint, crayons, make a collage, use photos from magazines be inventive. It is your piece of work! Enjoy yourselves this afternoon! Again photos of your work would be great.
