Year 5 Home Learning Tuesday 2nd March 2021
Good morning Year 5, I hope you are all doing lots of reading this week and enjoying your books. I love reading so much that I often have a pile of books waiting to be read, just as soon as I finish my current one! A huge well done to Georgina, who also had her story read out by the Mayor of South Ribble! We have some great author's in Year 5! Check out the World Book Day website, there are loads of fun activities and ideas, https://www.worldbookday.com/
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 a picture of one of the settings described in the book. Label everything in the picture using words and phrases that the author used. 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
We have finished our work on non-fiction and will now do some poetry – Cautionary Verse by Hilaire Belloc.
Read Matilda - Missing Words (documents below). This is the start of the poem and there are words missing. Can you suggest what the missing words might be? Write the start of the poem in your book and fill in the missing words with ones you think will fit. You can check when you read the whole poem next.
Read Matilda – the whole poem (documents below). What sort of poem do you think this is? Is it serious or comic? Why do you think that? What might go on to happen? Answer these questions in your book.
Which vocabulary should you check? (souse, frenzied, score) Find out the meanings of words you are unfamiliar with and get a better understanding of the poem. List new words in your book with a definition (a dictionary will help you here).
Click on the link below, follow the words as you listen to a spoken performance of the poem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSW56PnC-Bg
Think about what makes this an effective performance, e.g. the pace, the careful pronunciation of ‘tiptoe to the telephone’, the increased pace as the fire-brigade arrive, the change in tone for ‘Maltilda’s House is Burning Down’, the use of punctuation and line-breaks.
Practise saying the phrase ‘tiptoe to the telephone’ and try to find other phrases to practise in particular.
Look at the poem - Matilda again and practise reading it aloud just like the example you heard.
Remember the ways to enhance performance, e.g. use of volume, tone, actions and sound effects.
You could annotate the text to help you remember, e.g. underline emphasised words.
Record yourself reading the poem Matilda (performance poetry) and upload it to Seesaw for me to see or perform it for someone at home.
Please read the other poem - Jim by Hilaire Belloc and the information that tells you a bit more about who Hilaire Belloc is (documents below).

Please post this on Seesaw for me to see.
