Year 5 Home Learning Tuesday 23rd February 2021
Good morning Year 5, hopefully you have settled back into your Home Learning routines. Have a look at this picture, see if there is anything you could do for someone else today. I am going to pray for my family. Unfortunately, I cannot hug a friend at the moment, but I will save that for a time when I can! Maybe you could choose one to do each day during Lent and colour them as you do it. I will include this in the documents below if you would like to print it out. Perhaps you could design and draw your own version of this and include other good things to do!
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 read. Draw five thought bubbles and write what the main character might be thinking at different stages in the story. 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
Read the opening of ‘A Guide to Using Twitter’ (documents below).
Spot any brackets in the text.
The brackets are used to mark off extra information in a text in a noticeable way (this extra information is called parenthesis).
Look at the PowerPoint – Parenthesis, slides 2 to 6 (documents below). Explore parenthesis and challenge yourselves to decide where brackets should go.
Other punctuation could be used to mark off the extra information: commas or dashes.
Commas are a subtler form of parenthesising and dashes are used in informal writing.
Ask someone at home to play this game with you (it should only take ten minutes). Each player needs a separate game sheet to pass around (documents below – Bracket Game Sheet or copy it onto a sheet of paper).
As in the parlour game Consequences, you take turns to add to the story, with extra information in brackets (there is an example in the documents below – Bracket Game Examples).
At the end of each turn, players fold over the sheet to hide what they have written.
Unfold the sheet when it has been completed and read it out. It will be funny!
Now, write out one of the scenarios in your exercise books, correctly punctuated.
The date and title are:
Tuesday 23rd February 2021
Can I explain how brackets are used and use them correctly to add extra information?
Please post this on Seesaw for me to see.
