Bylines - the author’s name and role

Photos and captions - to give extra information.

Columns – paragraphs are organised into columns to help the reader follow the story more easily.

For Monday’s English task, look at and read the example newspaper report and spot the above features.

L.O: To understand what a numerator and denominator are. S.C:

Know what a numerator is. Know what a denominator

is. Use the numerator and

denominator to match a fraction to its visual representation.

A fraction is made up of a numerator and a denominator.

The numerator tells you how many equal parts you have. The denominator tells you how many equal parts the whole is divided into.

Complete Monday’s Maths task, using your knowledge of numerators and denominators to help you.

Top Tips - English – ask an adult if they have an examples of newspaper reports that you could look at.

L.O: To understand the key textual features of a newspaper report. S.C:

Know some of the textual features of a newspaper report.

Read a newspaper report. Identify and underline textual

features in a newspaper report.

Newspaper reports are a form of non-fiction writing used to report news and factual events. The text in newspaper reports needs to contain both facts and opinions about the story. Textual features that help the author achieve this in a newspaper report include: Factual information – accurate

and related to the story. Direct speech – quoted from

people involved in the story and/or experts. Marked using inverted commas (“).

Important dates and figures – related to the story.

Subordinating conjunctions – to add extra information.

Time connectives – to sequence and link sentences.

For Tuesday’s English task, look at and read the example newspaper report and spot the above features.

L.O: To recognise, find and write fractions of a discrete set of objects: unit fractions and non-unit fractions with small denominators. S.C:

Read the question. Identify the denominator. Identify the numerator. Draw the correct amount of

equal groups. Share the whole equally

between the groups.

To find fractions of an amount we need to divide the amount into equal groups. The number of equal groups we divide the amount into is indicated by the denominator. The numerator then tells us how many of these equal groups we have.

For example:

He has divided the amount into 4 equal groups. Then he will count the number in 1 group as this is numerator of his fraction. Therefore Dexter knows ¼ of 12 = 3.

Using this knowledge complete Tuesday’s maths task.

Top TipsMaths – remember that the denominator tells us how many equal groups the whole is divided into.

L.O: To identify main and subordinate clauses in complex sentences. To write complex sentences. S.C: Know that a complex sentence

consists of a main clause, subordinating clause and subordinating conjunction.

Give examples of subordinating conjunctions.

Identify the parts of a complex sentence.

Write a complex sentence using a main clause, subordinating clause and subordinating conjunction.

Yesterday we looked at subordinating conjunctions. When we use a subordinating conjunction we can sometimes create complex sentences.

A complex sentence is made up of a main clause (which makes sense by itself), a subordinating clause (which needs the main clause to make sense) and a subordinating conjunction to link the two clauses. Subordinating conjunctions include when, before, after, while and so.

Complete Wednesday’s English task, using the given example to help you.

L.O: To compare and order fractions with the same denominators. S.C:

Look at the denominators – are they the same?

Look at the numerators. Which is the smallest, which is the greatest?

We can easily order fractions with the same denominators. If a set of fractions share the same denominator then the higher the numerator the greater the fraction.

Identify the parts of a compound sentence. .

Write a compound sentence using two independent clauses and a coordinating conjunction.

A coordinating conjunction is used to link two main clauses together to create a compound sentence. Coordinating conjunctions include and, but, so and or.

When writing a compound sentence using a coordinating conjunction, it is important that we make sure that both clause make sense independently.

Using the given example and success criteria to help, complete Thursday’s English task.

L.O: To compare and order unit fractions. S.C:

Check to see if the fraction has 1 as its numerator. If it does it is a unit fraction.

Look at the denominator of the fraction.

Know with unit fractions the larger the denominator the smaller the fraction.

When a fraction has 1 as its numerator it is known as a unit fraction.

To compare unit fractions we must look at the denominator. The greater the denominator the smaller the fraction.

This is because a larger denominator means that the whole has been divided into more equal parts making it smaller.

So is smaller than

because it has a larger denominator so the whole has been shared equally into more parts. Complete Thursday’s maths task.

L.O: To listen to and discuss a wide range of fiction, poetry, plays, non-fiction and reference books.

Range of Reading

This week you have read the poem ‘A Big Surprise’ by Michaela Morgan. In the V.I.P.E.R.S resources section is another poem by Michaela Morgan called ‘The Things Mums Say…’. Read the poem. Then consider the following questions.

1. How are the two poems similar?

2. How are the two poems different?

3. Which poem do you prefer and why?

L.O: To use some inverted commas correctly to punctuate direct speech.S.C:

Know what direct speech is. Know what inverted

commas are. Identify the speech in the

sentence. Use inverted commas to

signify direct speech.

In newspaper reports direct speech is often used to communicate people’s responses and opinions about an event or story. Direct speech must be punctuated using inverted commas. Inverted commas look like this: “gsg”The inverted commas are placed around the speech to show what a person says.

For example:

Help! It’s gigantic spider yelled Sam. becomes … “Help! It’s a gigantic spider.” yelled Sam.

For Friday’s English task, read each sentence and correctly punctuate the direct speech using inverted commas.

L.O: To recognise and use fractions as numbers: unit fractions and non-unit fractions with small denominators. S.C:

Know what a denominator and numerator show.

Look carefully at the given fractions, checking the denominator and the numerator.

Look at the scale on the number line.

Place the fraction on the number line.

Check your work.

Today we are going to be representing fractions as numbers on a number line. To do this, remember that the larger the denominator the smaller the equal parts. Also remember that the numerator tells us how many of these equal parts we have.
