Year 5 Home Learning Thursday 4th March 2021
Good morning Year 5, I bet you all look great in your costumes. Enjoy the day and remember to upload your photos onto Seesaw. Write a message about your favourite book and say why it is so good. You could win a ten pounds book voucher!
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. Write a book review to say why you enjoyed this book so much. Draw pictures of the characters or setting. I have included a worksheet to help you (documents below). Please do this in your Home Learning exercise book with today’s date.
Spelling
This week we are investigating the suffix - ibly. Please learn these spellings for a test on Friday (05.03.21) this week, as we will have new spellings when we get back to school on Monday (08.03.21). 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.
possibly visibly flexibly responsibly plausibly
terribly forcibly feasibly compatibly invisibly
horribly audibly incredibly credibly irreversibly
English
Read Alice Spode (documents below). This is another Cautionary Tale. Do you think it is by Hilaire Belloc? Why not? (He died in 1953, long before texting was possible!).
Look at how the poem fits the structure of other Cautionary Tales:
1. A brief description of the foible and hint of consequences;
2. A particular time where the foible causes terrible events to unfold;
3. The reaction of others/the moral stated.
Make annotations on the poem to show these three sections.
Identify other features that make this poem fit the style of Hilaire Belloc. Notice in particular the rhyming couplets and the use of phrases from other Cautionary Tales e.g. ‘chief defect’ and ‘I shall now relate’
Display and read Cautionary Characters (documents below). Can you think about other modern-day characters that could be added to this list?
Use the Character Challenge and invent a modern-day character who could be included in Cautionary Tales.
Write a poem about your character in the same style as the other poems we have read.

We have come to the end of our topic – The Shang Dynasty.
Follow the link below and have a go at the quiz online.

Today I would like you to write your own quiz for one of your family members to complete about The Shang Dynasty. On a sheet of plain paper design a fun and colourful quiz sheet with great questions to ask someone (remember question marks!).
You can use questions from the quiz you have just done, then think about what you have learnt during this topic and write more questions of your own.
Trim your quiz sheet down and stick it into your exercise book or write it directly into you book.
