Year 5 Home Learning Wednesday 3^rd March 2021

Good morning Year 5, I hope your costumes are ready for tomorrow and you are reading, reading, reading! Above are the books you can get for World Book Day. Some of them look really interesting and the authors are great. Katherine Rundell is one of my favourites, she has written some super stories.

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 one you have just finished. How did the story make you feel when you were reading it? Explain your answer. 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.

English

Enjoy re-reading Matilda by Hilaire Belloc (documents below).

What poetic features do we look for in a poem? Answer - including key terms such as rhyme, rhythm, couplets, alliteration, unusual vocabulary, metaphor & simile, personification, repetition, hyperbole, stanza.

There is a list of poetic language for you to look at (documents below). We have covered most of these in class, but if there is anything you are unsure of, ask an adult or look it up in a dictionary.

Using the poem – Matilda, search and annotate the text for any of these poetic features (use your highlighters, coloured pencils, little arrows and notes like we do in class – there is an example in the documents below - poem annotation, but it is a different poem!). You can trim this annotation work down and stick it into your exercise book or copy it straight into your book.

Look through - Matilda Questions (documents below), answer these in your exercise book.

Please also read the poems – Henry King and Algernon by Hilaire Belloc.

The date and title are:

Wednesday 3^rd March 2021

Can I annotate a poem to find poetic features and answer questions about the text?

Science

We will start our new topic next week when we are back in class.

Today, I would like you to research a famous scientist that interests you. It could be a scientist from the past or from the present.

You might want to investigate and research a scientist that is involved with the mission to Mars and the Perseverance that you looked at last week.

Create a fact sheet/poster about your chosen scientist and share all the information you have researched. This can be written straight into your exercise book or typed, trimmed down and stuck into your book.

French

Bonjour tout le monde!

Here’s the breakfast song to start us off:

Today we are going to say whether we like or don’t like food items. Then we’re going to recap how to use articles. In English, articles are ‘a’ or ‘the’ for singular nouns. ‘A’ becomes ‘some’ for plural but ‘the’ is used for singular or plural in English.

A sausage – some sausages.

The jelly - the jellies.

In French, as you know, nouns can be masculine or feminine so there are two words for a and the:

Work through, saying whether you like or don’t like each item. When you get to slide 8, notice whether the food items are masculine (blue background) or feminine (red background). You’ll need this information later. After slide 9, write the date in French and the learning objective in your book:

Can I give my opinion of foods and use the correct form of the definite article (le, la or les)?

Read slide 10 then write out the 3 sentences using the correct form of the definite article ‘the’ : le, la or les. Check you answers and correct them if necessary.

Challenge: Can you write your own sentences saying what you like and don’t like, using these as a model?

Très bon travail! Marci beaucoup. A la semaine prochaine.

Maths Challenges: Mixed Times Tables and Squared and Cubed Numbers.

Spelling Challenge: Words with irregular spellings. These words are different from your spelling test words above, but still worth working on to expand your vocabulary.

Well done Year 5.
