Year 5 Home Learning Thursday 7th January 2021
Good morning everyone, I hope you had a good day yesterday and managed to complete your Home Learning. Well done for working hard and trying your best, I’ll look forward to seeing your work when you come back to school. The children that are in school will be doing exactly the same work that you are doing at home each day, so it will be lovely to share and celebrate our super learning together.
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. We can issue books and change books as needed.
Find FIVE interesting words from your reading book (this can be a book from home if you do not have a school book yet). Write down the meaning of each word. Then using each word write a sentence of your own. Please write these into you Home Learning exercise book (collect from school) with today’s date.
English
Read the next few pages of Cloud Tea Monkeys, you will find this in the documents at the bottom of this page. Think about how the tension is built in this part of the story.
Can you predict what might happen next? What are Tashi’s worries? (She has all her worries about her Mum, she has been shouted at by the horrible overseer and now the monkeys have taken her Mum’s basket.) How might these worries be solved? Think about what might happen next. Have the authors left any clues?
Write an ending for the story so far in roughly 200 words. Please write this in your Home Learning exercise book (collect from school). The date and title are:
