Year 5 Home Learning Monday 1st March 2021
Good morning Year 5, I hope you all had a lovely weekend. The sun was shining and it felt a lot like Spring! Only one more week of Home Learning until we are back together. You have all done so well, so keep trying your best for this final week. It is World Book Day on Thursday; we can all dress up as our favourite book character at home and at school. Think about what you will be wearing, maybe, something you wore last year, something new or something you have put together and made yourself. You can upload a photo to Seesaw and send a message about your favourite book, telling us why it is your favourite. You could win a ten-pound book voucher! A huge well done to Bella who is also going to have her story read out by the Mayor of South Ribble (Facebook Wednesday 3rd March 4pm). I will look forward to hearing that.
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. Design a new front cover for your book. Don’t forget the title and author! 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 ‘Cycling Helmets A & B’ (documents below).
Compare the texts, which is easiest to read and why (text is identical)?
Think about the importance of organisational features (numbered/bullet points, brackets, adverbs, imperative/bossy verbs, labelled diagrams and more).
What organisational features will you choose to use in your writing today?
This text combines explanation and instruction features and your writing should too. I have included the key features of instructions and explanations to help you (documents below).
Today you will be writing a guide for your chosen mode of transport.
Use your plan from last Friday’s lesson to help you. It should be easy if you have got a detailed plan!
You can write this straight into your exercise book.
