Year 5 Home LearningDate: Monday 18th May 2020

Comment:Hello year 5,

One more week of home learning until half term – keep up the good work!

I wanted to share with you that I had my 20-week (halfway!) baby scan appointment on Friday – all is going very well and I have one very active baby and a big baby bump already! I will look quite different by the time I get to see all your faces again.

For the whole of this week, your English work will be based off the same short video clip and will be looking at a different aspect of writing each day. You will find the link to this clip on these sheets each day so that you don’t have to jump back and forth between lessons.

Remember to keep up your daily reading and learning your timetables ( https://ttrockstars.com/ ) and to access your purple mash accounts for activities. (www.purplemash.co.uk )

Guided ReadingLO: To use and apply my reading skills. Approximate time: 30 minutes. Useful link:

ACTIVITY – Kidnapped

Somebody was coming up the stairs! Ducking down behind an old crate, we waited. I could feel my heart thumping like a bass drum. What if we were caught? The strange girl glanced at me through the semi-gloom and grinned.

Gradually, the door opened and we could hear someone tiptoeing in. There was a pause and then a torch flickered on. After a few moments, the light switched off. Then the door shut and the footsteps clicked back down the stairs. Relieved, I let out a sigh. As we clambered out of the window and slithered down the wet roof, I was trying to remember how I had got into such a mess.

It had only been half an hour ago when Mum had sent me down to the chippie with a tenner. When I reached the roundabout, I couldn’t help looking at the old house, although it wasn’t much to look at. It was then that I’d seen it: a light at the window. Then I saw a face. I stood there staring. It was a

girl; she was mouthing a word and the word was, ‘HELP’.

That’s how it happened. I’d broken in round the back through a smashed window, despite the risk of being cut. Half a minute later and I’d found her, a trapped prisoner in an upstairs room. She’d only just finished telling me that she was the American ambassador’s daughter, when the kidnappers returned!

So there we were, balancing on the roof, as if we were walking the tight rope. Gripping the loose, creaking guttering desperately, I lowered myself down. Five minutes later and we were back at Mum’s cosy kitchen. “So Ron, where’s the fish and chips?” she asked, eyeing the girl suspiciously. Half an hour after that, her Dad arrived in a shiny embassy limousine. That night it wasn’t just chips for tea. He took us all out for a huge banquet. Amazingly, the next day, there I was in the local paper. A hero.

In the first paragraph...1. ...how can you tell the boy didn't want to be seen?

2. …what evidence is there to suggest the boy is scared?

3. Explain what happens in the second paragraph.

4. Look at the paragraph beginning, ‘It had only been half an hour ago..’ how did the boy know there was someone trapped in the house?

5. Order these events in the story:

A. They escape via the roof.B. The boy notices the girl in the old house.C. Ron is sent to get chippie for tea.D. The boy broke into the old house.E. They went all went out for a meal to celebrate.

LiteracyLO: To write instructions on how to make clouds! (Watch the video first and base your instructions on this – it will not be based on science!) Useful link: https://www.literacyshedplus.com/en-gb/resource/a-cloudy-lesson-ks2-activity-packKey Question:

ACTIVITY – Today for your English lesson I would like you to watch the video called ‘A Cloudy Lesson’ – you can access it in three different ways on this link depending on your device at home. https://www.literacyshedplus.com/en-gb/resource/a-cloudy-lesson-ks2-activity-pack

When you have watched the video, write a set of instructions on how to make clouds. Remember to use the key features of an instructional text. See below.

MathsLO: To solve addition problems. Approximate time: 1 hourUseful link:

STARTER – Using these four numbers 5, 2, 1, 9 What is the biggest number you can make from these numbers? What is the smallest number you can make?How many different combinations can you make?

ACTIVITY –Cloud addition pyramids – Each number in the cloud pyramid is the total of the two numbers directly below it. Can you fill in the blanks?

CHALLENGE – Make your own pyramid cloud. (use at least 3-digit numbers to challenge yourself!)RELO: To know that there are different ways of praying.Approximate time: 1 – 2 hours. Useful link:

ACTIVITY – There are many different ways of praying - the way that is likely to work best is

the one you like most.

Prayer is about growing close to Jesus. It is about talking to him, telling him our troubles and joys and listening to him. Jesus is our best companion and friend; he hears everything we say when we speak to him.

It is important to find a quiet place to be alone with Jesus. In this way, we talk to him about everything that is happening and ask him to help us. Another way is to take a story from a gospel, read it over very slowly and allow Jesus to speak to us in it. This prayer is called meditation.

We can also pray to Jesus in silence, looking at a picture or statue of him to help us. We can listen to him speaking in our heart. This prayer is called contemplation.

Vocal prayer is when we pray aloud, usually with other people.

TASK: What type of prayer would you say:1) When you want to ask Jesus to help somebody who is sick?2) When you tell Jesus you are sorry for doing something wrong?3) When something wonderful has happened and you want to thank Jesus?4) When you just want to stay close to Jesus and be with him?

Explain your choices.
