Year 5 Home Learning Friday 15th January 2021
Well done Year 5, you have nearly completed your first full week of Home Learning. I really hope it has been positive for you and you have managed to keep learning despite everything. I’m sure you are looking forward to a nice rest at the weekend. Remember to join Seesaw (family not class page) so you can share some of your lovely work.
Reading
Please read for at least twenty/thirty minutes every day. Talk about what you have read with an adult. Discuss the story, characters and any new vocabulary you come across. If it is a non-fiction text then explore the contents page, glossary and index to see how it helps you find information.
We can issue books and change books as needed.
Reading Challenge: In your reading book look for ten common nouns (a person, place or thing) and five proper nouns (specific name for a person, place or thing – they always have capital letters) and list them under those headings. Please do this in your Home Learning exercise book (collect from school) with today’s date.
Spelling
This week we are investigating the suffix-ant. Please learn these spellings. If you don’t know what a word means ask an adult or look it up in a dictionary. Ask someone to test you today on the words below in your exercise book with today’s date. Write the mark you got out of fifteen.
elephant mutant hydrant hesitant consultant
remnant tenant dominant attendant immigrant
pennant tyrant expectant occupant informant

You will be planning a setting description today.

He pointed a finger up to where the mountains were wrapped in cloud. “It is the most magical and delicious tea in the world but it grows wild in high and dangerous places where men are afraid to go.”
|
Imagine that the writers, Mal Peet and Elspeth Graham, have received some beautiful illustrations to go with their book but they would really like one more: an illustration to show where the monkeys pick the Cloud Tea.
Please use your imagination to draw your own illustration of the place the monkeys found the Cloud Tea. You could draw and colour/paint/collage on some plain paper then stick it into your exercise book or display it at home somewhere.
There is no description of this magical place so you are going to plan a description. We know it is in the mountains, covered by cloud but the rest is up to your own imagination!
- Make some notes, writing words, phrases and sentences.
- Pick some interesting nouns to build expanded noun phrases around.
- Try to zoom in (detail) and pan out (wider view) to vary the description focus.
- Use the pictures in the book and on the worksheet below to inspire you.
Please write your plan (we will write our description properly on Monday) on the worksheet below or copy it into you exercise book.

RE
Jesus’ Mission:
In the Gospels, we read about Jesus’ mission. ‘Gospel’ means ‘Good News’. The Good News Jesus came to make known is that God loves each of us and that living in God’s Way brings love, justice and peace for the entire world.
In his Gospel, Luke shows us how Jesus chooses God’s way and begins his mission. He not only preached the Good News through His words, but He powerfully demonstrated the Good News through His actions. Jesus particularly delighted in doing this among the poor, the weak, the hurting and the rejected in society. He started this when he was about 30 years old. Jesus did not carry out his mission on his own, he called people to be with him and they were inspired to work with him. He travelled through towns and villages preaching and proclaiming the Good News. He chose twelve people to be his apostles and share his mission. The twelve apostles and some women went with him.
When Jesus started his mission, he attended the synagogue in his hometown of Nazareth. He was given the privilege of reading from the scripture and selected a reading from the prophet Isaiah. This reading became the basis of his mission during his teaching and preaching.
Read the passage (in the documents below) and think about these questions:
- Why was the Spirit of God given to Jesus?
- How does Isaiah describe God’s love?
- How do you think the people felt as they listened to those words?
- Who are the people mentioned by Isaiah?
- Why did he select those people in particular?
- Where do you think we see these people today?
Create a ‘wanted’ poster to attract suitable people to share Jesus’ mission. Indicate how they might be inspired to do this and give reasons for your choices and try to make links with any other scripture passages you have read.
You may print out the document below and stick it in your exercise book or write it straight into the book. the date and title are:
Friday 15th January 2021
Can I describe Jesus' mission in the form of a wanted poster?
