1.3.21   *REMEMBER TO DIP INTO YOUR ‘MY FAMOUS VICTORIAN’ PROJECT.  Remember to send in what you have done for your project so far!  I will love to see it!  Thank you to all of you who have done this already.  Please remember to send me any work that you do not have answer sheets for.  I would particularly like to see RE, Science predictions and evaluations and any independent writing that you have done.  Thank you.

MORNING

1. English

1. Here are our new spellings for the week. This week we are learning some of our tricky words from the Year 5 and 6 Spelling List. Copy out each of our new spellings neatly, 5 times each, to help you learn the spellings and as a Handwriting activity. To help you learn the spellings write them as a ‘Spelling Pyramid’.   Remember how you must join up your letters:

government    hindrance   identity   interfere   interrupt   language  

Now put each spelling into a sentence to show that you understand the meaning of each word.  If you are unsure of the meaning of a word remember to look it up in a dictionary.  Can you put a comparative conjunction in your sentence, for example as well as, also, equally, similarly, likewise?  Can you use a contrasting conjunction, for example, alternatively, although, whereas, while, in contrast, however, despite?  Can you write a relative clause using a relative pronoun, for example that, who, whom, which, whatever, where?  Can you include some speech marks in your sentences?  What other words for ‘said’ can you use? For example, answered, replied, shouted, whispered, sighed, shrieked.  ‘Street Child’ is full of dialogue and has many examples in the text.  Can you include a modal verb or an expanded noun phrase? Remember to use a range of punctuation.  YOU DO NOT HAVE TO INCLUDE ALL OF THESE IN EACH SENTENCE.

2.  For your Talk for Writing ‘Wonderful Wizards!’ please make sure that you have finished all the activities.

2.  Maths

Today our lesson is a google meet live session and will be at 11.15. We are learning to multiply 4-digits by 2-digits.  Please make sure you have a pen/pencil and a piece of paper.  This will involve an oral/mental starter and my teacher input in the form of some power point slides.  Your main activity will be Classroom Secrets worksheets with answers that accompany these slides.  I have uploaded the rest of the power point slides for you and Varied Fluency worksheets with answers. Please work through your usual sheets.   If you feel confident, I have also uploaded Reasoning and Problem Solving worksheets with answers.  Again, please work through your usual sheets.
