YEAR 5 HOME LEARNINGW/C 06.07.20

It was so great to see some of your work last week, thankyou for the e-mails. Keep them coming! We appreciate your efforts to help your children with home learning and we know that many of you have your own work pressures, so as previously; the message is to do what you can, when you can.We would love to be able to give a little more feedback so we would encourage you to send pictures or documents of writing and foundation subject work to Claire.Donoghue@schools.sunderland.gov.uk in our school office who will then be pass it on to the year group leaders for feedback.

We will be hosting another end of week catch up this week and we are hoping to enable your child’s own class teacher to be able to host the chat, however, bear with us as our IT firewall needs to be adjusted to allow teachers to make these video calls from school and this could take some time. If it is not up and running in school by the end of the week then the teachers working from home will continue to host the chats. The chat time, date and link will be sent via Marvellous Me. To able to access these virtual chats you will need a Google Account (free). Please ensure that the username is the child’s name to enable us to take a register. You simply click on the link (or copy and paste it into Google) at the correct time and wait for the teacher to let you in the meeting. Meetings will take place on Thursdays or Fridays to give people a chance to have completed work and have something ready to share. The teacher might even test a few of the spellings you’ve been learning! There will also be a midweek ‘drop in’ session for each year group to allow you to ask any questions you may have about the week’s learning before the end of week session.

This timetable shows the home learning tasks to be completed over the course of the week.

Below are the tasks to be completed by the end of the week (Friday 10th):

English- Reading and Writing and Art Year 5

Read chapters 9 and 10 of ‘The Ickabog’. There are some VIPERS questions for you to answer below which will help you to meet these objectives:

Draw inferences from reading and explain thinking, returning to the text to support opinions. Deduce characters feelings, thoughts and motives for actions.

V (Vocabulary) 1. What do you think ‘impertinence’ means. Use the context that it is used in to help you make a good suggestion.I (Inference) 2. Did King Fred really want to help the shepherd or do you think he listened for other reasons?P (Prediction) 3. Once you have finished the chapters, read the last line again. What do you think this line suggests about what might happen in the story?E (Explain) 4. In chapter 10 find “Fred looked in the mirror”. What does the rest of this paragraph tell you about Fred’s personal-ity?R (Retrieve) 5. Who does the King take with him on his quest for the IckabogS (Summarise) 6. How did word spread that the King was actually heading North to hunt the Ickabog?

Have a go at an illustration for one of these chapters- use the descriptions in the text to draw either the Ickabog, the shepherd or the king in his ‘battledress’.

Your writing task is to ‘write a non-chronological report’This means that you should write an information text about the Ickabog. You should write about the Ickabog that you imagine, it could be very different from other people’s ideas. You can use the details from the text as facts but also use your own imagination and your own research about beasts to make up new facts. Examples of non-chronological reports can be found in fact books, encyclopaedias, on information web pages etc. They usually provide information and facts about features such as: Appearance, habitat, behaviour, diet, dangers etc. You can present it anyway you like. You can include diagrams and pictures, fact boxes, sub-titles and bullet point lists.To be really successful you should research some other mythical beasts and make notes so that you can use these ideas for your Ickabog.These are the objectives you’ll be successful with if you do this task well:

Make notes from several sources Include facts and precise vocabulary Write in appropriate style choosing layout features to suit the genre. Use joined handwriting throughout independent writing Proof read for spelling and punctuation errors, making changes to improve writing

Spellings:

6th July Words ending with <able> and

horrible adorableterrible forgivable

Teaching Notes: • ‘-able’ is more common than ‘-ible’. • The ‘-able’ ending is usually used (but not always) if a complete root word can be heard

<ible>. edible disposableinvincible enjoyablelegible valuable

before it. In some cases the ending of the root word may change, for example, rely/reliable. • The ‘-ible’ ending is common if a complete root word cannot be heard before it (but not without exception, for example, sensible).

1. Discuss the rule (above) for the words. Identify the root words which can be heard, e.g. adore can be heard in the word adorable, whereas in the word horrible, there is no such root word as ‘horr’. Practise saying each word so that the ending is exaggerated e.g. “ho-ri-bl” / “a-dor-ab -l”. Children practise writing out each word using “Rainbow Writing”.

2. Explain that the <able> and <ible> endings show that these words are adjectives (words to describe nouns). Children choose the most ap-propriate word from this week’s 10 spellings to complete these sen-tences.

a) Her handwriting was neat and ________.b) Our trip to Lego Land was very ________; we would definitely visit

again.c) Paper plates and plastic cutlery are ________.d) The monster won every battle; it was __________.e) Things that you can eat safely are __________.f) She made a mistake, but it was ____________.g) The treasures of the museum are very _______.h) The puppy’s little face was ___________.i) When the volcano erupted it was a ______ disaster.

j) Burned food tastes _______.

Challenge: Which of this week’s words can be turned into adverbs by dropping the last e and adding a letter y onto the end? (e.g. terrible becomes terribly).

Handwriting Poem

The Rainbow Christiana Rossetti

Boats sail on the rivers,  And ships sail on the seas;

But clouds that sail across the sky  Are prettier far than these.

There are bridges on the rivers,  As pretty as you please;

But the bow that bridges heaven,  And overtops the trees,

And builds a road from earth to sky,  Is prettier far than these.

Maths Challenges

Week 5

Topic:

‘Money Matters’. This topic is another one of our ‘Faculty Friday’ focuses in school. We feel it is important that children learn about real life matters relating to money. The task outlined on the table below are designed to help you to teach children about aspects such as spending, where money comes from, saving and budgeting. There is a suggested activity for each day next week and the children in school will be completing one each afternoon. As always, do what you can to suit you and your child while learning at home. The ‘lessons’ are guided by a powerpoint which will be provided on the FJS website in the ‘news’ section. We’d love to see any work that children produce, so feel free to send it in!
