Year 5 Home Learning Wednesday 10th February 2021
Good morning Year 5, I hope you are well. Your instruction writing was great yesterday, a big well done to you all. Remember to spend some time learning the dance that Mr Mears has put on our website (Gallery section). It would be lovely to see some of you dancing on Seesaw. I can imagine Year 5 are super cool dancers!! Don't forget to spend time on Sumdog, there are always challenges for you to do. The challenges at the moment will last for two weeks, so you could do a bit during half term if you want to. Stay positive and hardworking, you will have a week off soon.
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 a fact book. Draw a spider diagram/mind map (example here) to show what you have learnt from your story or fact book. You can illustrate it with mini-pictures like the example. 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
We have been learning about instructional writing.
What do you think good instructions are like? Think back to your card games on Monday. Can you identify key features that helped?
Briefly remind yourself about the features of instructions – Do you understand these terms: imperative verbs, adverbs, listing (numbered/bullet points), person and concepts of audience and purpose.
We can use a features list, like a checklist to evaluate instructions.
Today you will read and compare a range of instruction texts, thinking about structure & language and answer questions about this in your exercise book.
Today’s Work: ‘LeapPad Instructions’; ‘Aeroplane Instructions’ & ‘Thinking about Instruction Texts - Questions’ (documents below).
Read the LeapPad and Aeroplane Instructions then answer the questions in full sentences in your exercise book.
The date and title are:
Wednesday 10th February 2021
Can I read and identify features of instructions, find information in a text and evaluate instructional texts?

Have a go at the investigation on slide 5 – Observe and describe changes of state by investigating melting chocolate.
Print out slide 7, fill it in and stick it into your exercise book or copy your work straight into your book.
Slide 10 shows a good example of a completed piece of work and slide 11 gives some more information when you want to review what happened in the investigation.
Enjoy a bit of left-over chocolate as a reward for being great scientists!

Can I observe and describe changes of state?
Please post this on Seesaw for me to see.
French
Today we are going to finish writing our sentences about the planets, if you didn’t finish last week. (We ran out of time in school!) Then we're going to copy them out onto a triorama. You’ll soon see what one of those is.
First, let’s listen again to the planets song because you might be able to pinch an idea for a sentence from the song. Slow the playback speed down to 0.75 to help you hear the words more easily.

You can always come back to this if you want when you are writing.
Now go back to last week’s French home learning PowerPoint (Blog Weds 3rd February) and find the slide with the flowchart - Je décris les planètes.
Use this to finish if you haven’t yet written one sentence for each planet. Now look at the next slide and read those sentences. Can you add any extra detail to your writing using these ideas? Please don’t just copy but, for example, you could find out how many moons one of the planets has and add it to your writing using the model: Elle a …... lunes. Put the number as a word in the gap. (Elle here means it but planète is feminine so we use elle.)
Please now check your writing using the flowchart. Have you used the correct word order by following the arrows? Remember, colours and most adjectives go after nouns. Now watch this video for how to make a triorama.

You are going to redraft your writing now onto a triorama. Follow the lady’s instructions about where to put your picture (of the planets and colour the sky black) and your wonderful French writing. Then glue the flap underneath as she shows you and sit back and admire your work! If you’d like to drop your finished work off at school when you come to change your reading books, I’ll add it to the display after it has stayed in quarantine for 3 days. I’d love to see them!
Très bon travail et à bientôt!
