Year 5 Home Learning Tuesday 26th January 2021
Good morning Year 5. I hope you are all well and ready for today’s learning. If you are missing school and friends, try to do some activities you enjoy doing for part of the day or try something new. Listen to different types of music and make up a dance to go with it. You could perform it to your family. Below is a link to free audio books, there are loads to choose from. Elementary is primary school ages, so you should find something there that interests you.
You could also do some art and crafts. There are lots of inspirational ideas on Pinterest and art tutorial videos on YouTube.
I know you have done Yoga before in school, have a go at home. Follow the link:

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. Write down three questions you would like to ask your favourite character. Then write the answers you think that character would give. Please do this in your Home Learning exercise book with today’s date.
Spelling
This week we are investigating the suffix-ence. Please learn these spellings for Friday (29.01.21). 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.

Issa asked Mariama about what she saw…Mariama said that she ‘did not have the words’ to describe what she saw.
I would like you to use what we have learnt about imagery, excellent vocabulary and relative clauses (sentences from Monday’s work) to write a description about what Mariama saw. Use the picture, your imagination and senses to write as descriptively as you can.
Write straight into your exercise book or print out the Description Worksheet (below). You will need to trim it down and stick it into your exercise book.
