Year 5 Home Learning Thursday 25th February 2021
Good morning Year 5, I hope the Lenten Promises are going well. Remember Lent is a time to do things for others. What kind thing will you do today? A big thank you to everyone at home who is helping you with your learning. You are all doing so well and I know you are trying your best, just as though you were in school, because I am seeing such a high standard of work on Seesaw. This makes me smile and feel very proud of you. Even better news, we will all be in class together again on March 8th!
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. Before you finish the book, write down your predictions for the ending. When you have finished the book check back and see how accurate your prediction was. Please do this in your Home Learning exercise book with today’s date.
Spelling
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
Look at ‘Transport of the Future’ (documents below). Choose a mode of transport that you would like to write a guide about.
Think about these questions: What if they became available tomorrow? How might different people feel about them? What issues might arise?
Read and remind yourself of the the features of instructions and explanations (documents below).
Choose an audience for your guide, considering their needs (children, teens, parents, technophobes, older people etc.). This will help with your planning later.
Today you will be PLANNING a guide to a futuristic form of transport, which will include both instructions for use and explanations as to how they work.
You will find two planning sheets (planning grid/planning notes 2 - documents below). Either, trim them down and stick into your exercise book or copy them straight into the book.
