Note: You don’t need to print the worksheets. Simply write a date and title in your ‘home learning book’ and write the sentences in there. You may need to underline or circle specific words to show that you’ve understood the skill. Answers for each worksheet will

be coming out at the end of the week. English-

There are 4 main lessons in English this week. We have also included some spellings to learn. These can be written out then practised for 5-10 minutes each day. Remember also to read for 30 minutes every day.

Spellings ou making and /u/ sound (like in touch)

Next week the spelling pattern leads on from /u/ spelt with /o/ (as in mother) to /u/ spelt with /ou/ (as in touch).

Mrs Grosvenor would like you to find (and write out) the /ou/ words on the word-search. There is also a domino game. If possible, the ‘pieces’ could be printed off (or you could make your own), cut out, and manoeuvred to create a rectangle of words and definitions. If printing is not an option, the words could be linked to their meanings.. Remember, synonyms are words which have the same meaning (like small and little). Antonyms are words which have the opposite meaning (like small and big). Which of the spelling words is the antonym of ‘old’? Which of the spelling words is the antonym of ‘smooth’? Can you think of a synonym for ‘old’?

The spellings are: enough, young, touch, double, trouble, country, courage, rough, tough, cousin

1. Putting Independent and Subordinate Clauses together.

First of all, you will need to read through the slides that are in Figure 1 below about Independent and Subordinate Clauses. The slides explain how a subordinate clause is different to an independent clause and how they can either be used at the start, in the middle or at the end of a sentence. Figure 2. Is a Subordinate conjunction word mat which you will need to use to complete this week’s tasks. Your first task of the week is to use the word mat to identify which subordinating conjunctions can be used to correctly join the right independent clause and subordinating clauses together in Figure 3. Please write out the sentences neatly into your books.

2. Add a Subordinate Clause to an independent clause.

Today’s task can be found on Figure 4. You have been given a number of independent clauses which you will need to use a subordinating conjunction from the word mat (figure 2) to add your own subordinate clause to. Remember your subordinate clause must have a subject and a verb but does not need to make sense by itself. Please once again write out your completed sentences into your book.

3. Creating independent Clauses.

Following on from the previous lesson, your challenge is to create independent clauses that go with the subordinating clauses given to you in Figure 5. It’s important to remember that independent clauses must have a subject and a verb in them and they must also make sense when they are written by themselves. Please write these neatly into your books.

4. Extending existing sentences.

After all of our practise so far this week, it’s time to get into the tricky stuff. We are now going to look at how we can place the subordinate clause at the beginning, middle or end of a sentence. In Figure 6 you are given an existing sentence that is not particularly detailed. You need add a subordinate clause to the existing sentence to add extra detail to it to make it more descriptive. However, as you can see in the example, I would like you to create three new sentences; one with the subordinate clause at the start, one with it in the middle and one with it at the end. You may use the same subordinate clause as long as it still makes sense and you have used the correct punctuation. Please can you record all of your new sentences in your book.

Maths- There are 4 activities this week. Aim to spend 45-60 minutes on maths every day. If you are finding any of the work tricky you can

always repeat the activity, with fresh eyes, at the end of the week.

1. Multiplying using the grid method

This week we will start each lesson by practising our times tables. Go to www.timestables.co.uk and try some the activities and quizzes relating to either the 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 6x, 8x or 10x tables.

10-15 MINS daily Now go through the lesson video Using grid method After have a go at the questions on maths worksheet 1(they also appear at the end of the video) We have included a page of grids in the resources to help save time.

Good luck 2. Multiplying using the grid

method

Warm up- Go to www.timestables.co.uk and try some the activities and quizzes relating to either the 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 6x, 8x or 10x tables. Today, we are going to focus on practising how we use the grid method. If you need, to revisit the lesson video Using grid method. On maths worksheet 2 you will find 3 columns of questions: mild (easiest), Spicy (regular), hothothot (trickier).

Keep up the good work 3. Division using the CHUNKY CHIMP

Warm up- Go to www.timestables.co.uk and try some the activities and quizzes relating to either the 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 6x, 8x or 10x tables. Today we have another new concept to learn. Please look at the lesson video Dividing using Chunky Chimp and follow along. You may want to grab a times table square for today (I’ve put one in the resources). After watching the video I’d like you to try the questions on maths worksheet 3 (they are also at the end of the video).

You can do it!

4. Division using the CHUNKY CHIMP

Warm up- Go to www.timestables.co.uk and try some the activities and quizzes relating to either the 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 6x, 8x or 10x tables. We are going to be doing some more chunking today – so you may want to look at yesterday’s video once more Dividing using Chunky Chimp . Next, have a go at the questions on maths worksheet 4.

Have fun

Victory in Europe Day 2020

Paulton Junior School, This week, for the Foundation part of your Home Learning, you will complete activities regarding an incredibly special day in History called Victory in Europe Day or VE Day. When VE Day dawns on 8th May 2020 it will be 75 years since the guns fell silent at the end of World War 2 in Europe. The 75th anniversary will provide our nation, and our friends around the world, with an opportunity to reflect on the enormous sacrifice, courage and determination of people from all walks of life who saw us through this dark and terrifying period. We hope you enjoy learning about a momentous occasion in History and have a go at as many activities in the grid below as possible.

Spelling Resources

Figure 1.

W h at i s a cl ause?

A clause is a group of words that includes a subject and a verb.

There are two types of clauses,

independent clauses and subordinate clauses.

The independent clause makes sense on its own because it is a

complete thought.

For example:I went to town.

It was red.

A subordinate clause supports the independent clause. The opening

words of subordinate clauses show that they are dependent on the

independent clause.

For example:after the storm cleared

because he didn’t like chocolate

figure 1 cont..

Figure 1 cont…

Con j un ct i on s

She walked for an hour.

For example: After she had eaten lunch, she walked for an hour.

Conjunctions are used to start subordinate clauses. Here is a collection of conjunctions.

Can you use the conjunctions to make subordinate clauses for this sentence?
