Year 5 Home Learning Monday 25th January 2021
Good morning Year 5, I hope you are all well and had a good weekend with your families. This week I will be including a couple of filmed lessons that you can watch on Seesaw. Hopefully, it will help you with your Home Learning and make things a bit clearer. Thank you for posting your work for me to see on Seesaw, it really is very good and you should be extremely proud of yourselves. Keep up the positive effort this week Year 5.
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: Choose three descriptive words from your book and write them down. Using a thesaurus or online thesaurus find a synonym and antonym for each word. Please do this in your Home Learning exercise book with today’s date.
Spelling
This week we are investigating the suffix-ence. Please learn these spellings for Friday (29.01.21). 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.

essence reference audience circumference excellence

Read the next part of our story Mysterious Traveller 5 (documents below).
Use the Relative Clauses PowerPoint (documents below) to remind yourselves of the work we did on Friday.
Here is a sentence for us to look at together:
The sun lit the mountains.
I have underlined the nouns.
Next, I am going to describe the sun a bit more and add a relative clause.
The sun, which shone brightly, lit the mountains.
Now, I am going to describe the mountains a bit more and add a relative clause.
The sun lit the mountains that were snow-capped and magical.
This is what you will be doing today. Please look at the writing prompt (documents below) and follow the instructions.

As you have been describing a rocky mountain/desert setting in English today. I thought you might like to have a go at drawing one. This tutorial is a bit tricky, but I am sure some of you budding artists will do a great job.
Or you could draw your own version of the picture from our story Mysterious Traveller. You will find this in the story PowerPoint (documents below).
