Year 5 Home Learning Thursday 11th February 2021
Good morning Year 5, I hope you are all well. Thank you so much for posting your fabulous work on Seesaw. I really enjoy reading it and can tell you are learning and working hard, so keep up the great effort. I have got a wonderful class and I really cannot wait until we are all back together again in school. Have a good day!
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 finished. Imagine you are an agony aunt/uncle in a magazine (someone who gives advice and helps people with their problems). Write a short piece of advice to the character having problems in the story you are reading. Please do this in your Home Learning exercise book with today’s date.
Spelling
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
Today we will be learning about explanations and how to write an explanation text.
Instructions tell you how to do something. They instruct you!
Explanations tell you how something works. They explain how or why something happens (not to instruct, the purpose is different).
Look again but more closely at adverbs for cause and contrast on the Adverbs PowerPoint- slides 2 to 4 from yesterday (documents below).
- Read ‘How Escalators Work’ (documents below). What type of text is it? – Explanation.
While reading this, notice adverbs for cohesion; there are more for cause and contrast than with the instructions.
- Try to find the adverbs for cause and contrast in the text, underline them with a different coloured pencil or highlight them (see documents below for answers).
Adverbs - Cause: therefore, thus, consequently, as a result.
Adverbs – Contrast: however, meanwhile, nevertheless, instead, yet.
Next, read ‘How Alexa works’ (documents below). Your task for today is explained on this worksheet (blue bullet points).
The date and title are:
Thursday 11th February
Can I use sentence structure, adverbs and commas to write sentences that are clear?

History
Click on the link below for your next lesson – Who was Fu Hao?
Read the information about Fu Hao’s Life. Using the facts and information you have learned, create a leaflet about Fu Hao’s life and the important things she did. Make your leaflet interesting, colourful and remember to illustrate it.
This is how to fold your paper to make a leaflet. Number 3 is the back of your leaflet so you can glue here and stick it into your exercise book.
