Year 5 Home Learning Monday 22nd February 2021
Good morning Year 5 and welcome back to another half term of learning before Easter. I hope you all had a great week off and enjoyed time with your families and doing the things you like to do best of all. Hopefully, it will not be much longer until we are back in class together. I am really looking forward to seeing you all and catching up on any news you have to share with me. A huge well done to Jack Beetham, who had his faraway story read out by the Mayor of South Ribble. It was an excellent story. As it is now Lent, I would like you to think about your Lenten Promises. To help you I have included a little worksheet (documents below). Please post these on Seesaw for me to see.
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 book 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: Use the book you are reading at the moment, or one you have just read. Draw an outline of your favourite character. Write down all the different roles they play in the story inside the shape. For example, father, friend, villain, hero etc. Please do this in your Home Learning exercise book with today’s date.
Spelling
Before half term we were investigating words instead of said. A lot of you have already tested yourselves on these spellings, but if you have not, please ask someone to test you today. Remember to put a mark out of fifteen.
laughed questioned suggested quizzed muttered
joked queried screamed mumbled whispered
chuckled remarked pleaded grumbled bragged
This week we are investigating the suffix - ible. Please learn these spellings for Monday’s test (01.03.21). If you don’t know what a word means, ask an adult or look it up in a dictionary. To help you learn them, write them down each day in your exercise book with the date. You could focus on your handwriting at the same time.
divisible gullible digestible permissible audible
accessible invincible legible compatible responsible
reversible invisible illegible feasible edible
English
Re-read ‘How Escalators Work’ (documents below). It is a good example of an explanation text that we read before half term.
Look at the language features, including tense, formal vocabulary (e.g. surface, internal) and use of technical terms (e.g. drive gear).
Briefly look at the use of brackets (more on that tomorrow).
What does this text explain to us? It explains how escalators work.
We could use this to answer the question ‘How do escalators work?’.
I will show you how to briefly summarise the key facts of this text in note-form. You will find this on Seesaw and this is what you will be doing today.
Have a look at ‘Research Questions’ and the website (documents below and link).
Choose one that you would like to find out more about.
Research questions are numbered in order of reading difficulty (EASY:1 → HARD:12).
- Today's task requires you to answer one of these questions by reading an explanation text, making notes, and presenting information to someone.
The date and title are:
Monday 22nd February 2021
Can I use the internet to answer a question, make notes and present my explanation?
Please post this on Seesaw for me to see.
