Year 5 Home Learning Monday 8th February 2021
Good morning Year 5, I hope you enjoyed ‘Fabulous Friday’ and ‘Dressed to Express’. I also hope you had a good weekend with your families. This week is Dance Week, so grab any spare minutes you have and learn the dance that Mr Mears has put on our web page (Gallery section). Once you have learned it, you could film yourselves on Seesaw. Make sure you post it by Thursday! I'm looking forward to a great week of learning and dancing, so try your best. Next week it is the Half Term Holiday!
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. Design a ‘wanted’ poster for one of the characters in your book. Please do this in your Home Learning exercise book with today’s date.
Spelling
Last week we were investigating the suffix - ent. As we have introduced ‘Fabulous Friday’, Mondays will now be your test and new spellings day. Please ask someone at home to test you on these spellings. Remember to put a mark out of fifteen.
patient obedient turbulent different incompetent
absent innocent excellent evident complacent
intelligent confident magnificent emergent lenient
This week we are investigating words instead of said. Please learn these spellings for Monday’s test (22.02.21) which will be after half term, but if you would rather do it before then, that’s fine. 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.
laughed questioned suggested quizzed muttered
joked queried screamed mumbled whispered
chuckled remarked pleaded grumbled bragged
English
We are moving on to non-fiction work now. With a focus on - Instructions and Explanations.
For today’s lesson, you will need a pack of cards and someone to play with. If you have not got a pack of cards, you will still be able to do the task!
Have you played card games before? Discuss any games you know and how you learnt the rules.
Cards are a very old game technology (originating in 9th C. China) & are popular worldwide; many games have been passed on verbally or through written instructions.
You will learn a new card game by reading some written instructions.
Read ‘How to Play Sevens’ (documents below). How can we recognise that these are instructions?
Read Instruction Features (documents below). This will help you to evaluate - see how useful the instructions are.
Have a look at the ‘Card Games’ sheets (documents below). Try and play one or two games.
Evaluate how easy the instructions are/are not to follow and which features help make them clearer.
Make notes on the ‘Card Games’ sheets.
Write the key features you have spotted or add improvements to the parts of the instructions that are not clear. There is an example of this on Seesaw.
You can trim the ‘Card Game’ sheet down and stick it in your exercise books or write your notes straight into your book.
EASY: Game 1 is the most accessible (easy to follow instructions).
MEDIUM/HARD: Game 3 needs most improvement.
The date and title are:
Monday 8th February 2021
Can I identify features of instructions, follow and evaluate them?
Please post this on Seesaw for me to see.
