Year 5 Home Learning Friday 22nd January 2021
Good morning Year 5, well done for just about completing your second full week of Home Learning. I hope you have enjoyed it and learned some new things. Remember we learn new things every day and a lot of the time we don’t even realise it! Have a great weekend with plenty of rest and fun. Look out for 'Friday catch up' which will be posted on Seesaw later on today. I will be back on Monday for another instalment of Year 5 Home Learning.
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 look at the contents page, glossary or index and see how it helps you find information.
We can issue books and change books as needed.
Reading Challenge: Copy out three sentences or phrases you really liked in your reading book. Explain what it is you really liked about each of them. Please do this in your exercise book with today’s date.
Spelling
This week we are investigating the suffix-ancy. If you don’t know what a word means, ask an adult or look it up in a dictionary. Please ask somebody to test you on the spellings below. Write today’s date in your exercise book and remember to put a mark out of fifteen. I will issue new spellings on Monday.
infancy pregnancy extravagancy significancy absorbancy
truancy expectancy redundancy vibrancy buoyancy
reluctancy elegancy flamboyancy occupancy accountancy
English
Read the next few pages of Mysterious Traveller by Mal Peet and Elspeth Graham (documents below).
We learnt that the book builds vivid images of the setting and characters. One way in which we can build rich images is through using relative clauses.
Read through the PowerPoint: Relative clauses (to slide 8, in the documents below). The slides will remind you about relative clauses and pronouns. We looked at this in the Autumn Term. Have a go at the small activity on slide 8 but there is no need to write anything down, just think about it.
Complete one of the worksheets below. The activities increase in difficulty. You must do one of the activities, but for those of you who are enjoying this work you could do two or three of them.
Relative Clauses (A) asks you to identify relative clauses.
Relative Clauses (B) asks you to insert relative clauses with given pronouns.
Relative Clauses (C) asks you to write relative clauses, choosing from nouns in given sentences and selecting the best relative pronoun.
Please complete your worksheet (will need trimming down) and stick it into your exercise book. You could copy the work straight into your book.
The date and title are:
Friday 22nd January 2021
Can I discuss, identify and insert relative clauses?
Please post this on Seesaw for me to see.
