Today’s lessons:

  • Reading skills: lesson and RIC
  • Reading fluency and vocabulary: lesson and text
  • Writing skills: lesson
  • Writing texts: lesson and text

Important: changes to home learning

Posted on Tuesday 05 January 2021 by Mr Owen

Hi everyone,

Happy New Year! But what a strange start… I’m here to help, so please let me know if there’s anything I can do to help support learning at home: [email protected]

I’ve recorded this short video explaining some changes that will be made to home learning from Friday. Mr Roundtree will be communicating more tomorrow.

I hope you and your family are all well.

All the best,

Mr Owen

Week beginning: 04 January 2020

Posted on Monday 04 January 2021 by Mr Owen

Happy New Year!

I hope you’ve had a restful break.

Don’t forget you can email me at [email protected] for help if you need to.

Maths

This week, we’re learning about multiplication. Children should use these resources:

You don’t have to print the worksheets. Your child can write or draw their answers on paper. Your child’s learning will be most effective if you sit with them to pause the clip and check / praise / support your child as the clip moves on.

Don’t forget to practise times tables on Times Table Rock Stars, too. I’d like everyone to do at least one ‘sound check’ to see how you’re doing on everything. Email me if you need your child’s login and password details.

(Suggested time: 30 minutes of Maths and 15 minutes of Rock Stars daily)

 

Reading fluency

Linking to our new Space topic, this is the fluency text that we’re using this week. It’s an introduction to a webpage from NASA about five amazing women who influenced our knowledge about space. You can see the whole webpage here, but we’re only focus on one section of it today.

Five Amazing Women In Space

We usually follow this sequence:

  • Day 1: Read the text aloud with your child listening. Read it clearly and slowly, pointing to each word as you read. Have a chat about any unfamiliar words.
  • Day 2: Read aloud each sentence (a full short sentence or part of a longer sentence), and have your child read it back to you. Do this ‘echo reading’ for the whole text.
  • Day 3: Read the text and talk about the effect of the punctuation on how you read it – pauses for full stops and expression for exclamations (!) or questions (?). Your child reads the text aloud.
  • Day 4: Read together with expression (just like you practised on Day 3).
  • Day 5: Your child reads independently and fluently.

 

(Suggested time: 15 minutes daily)

 

Reading comprehension

  • Day 1: Read as much Wolf Brother as you can, picking up from where we read to last term, which is p10 I think!
  • Day 2: Read the fluency text and answer the RIC questions on the page (see fluency text above).
  • Day 3: Use Week 1 slides (Tuesday’s lesson) to find as many facts as you can.
  • Day 4: Use the slides (see above and use Wednesday’s lesson) to write some interview questions.
  • Day 5: Book Club. Look at the slides for Friday to write a book review.

(Suggested time: 30 minutes daily)

 

Writing

Follow these lessons on non-chronological reports from Oak National Academy. There’s a whole series of lessons, but start at Lesson 1 and work through, doing one (or maybe even two) each day. (If you’re self-isolating in your second week, stick with the series of lessons you’ve already started and aim to complete the full series.)

(Suggested time: 30-40 minutes for each)

 

Spelling

This week’s spellings are on our spelling page. Complete one task each day:

  • Day 1: Generate more words linked to the spelling pattern or ‘rule’. (You could look out for the words in the book you’re reading at home, or any other text, like a website linked to our learning.)
  • Day 2: Practise the spellings using two of the ideas in our Super Spelling Strategies Guide. (Set yourself and others at home a challenge of using some of the words when you’re speaking, too!)
  • Day 3: Write separate sentences, each containing one of the spellings. (Don’t forget to show off really neat handwriting and make sure you sentence starts with a capital letter and ends with a full stop, exclamation mark (!) or question mark (?).
  • Day 4: Repeat Task 2 or 3.
  • Day 5: Get an adult at home to test you on your spellings. Practise any you spell incorrectly – you could write them out carefully until you’re sure.

(Suggested time: 15-20 minutes daily)

 

Topic

This week’s topic learning is about geography. We’re focusing on climate and climate change.

This series of lessons from Oak National Academy is all about water, weather and climate, closely linked to our learning in school.

Follow the sequence of learning and let me know how you got on!

(Suggested time: 30-40 minutes)

 

Science 

We’re starting a new topic all about space.

This series of lessons from Oak National Academy links closely to what we will be doing in class.

Follow the sequence over the course of the half term or, if you’ve not done any home learning yet, choose one you’ve got a particular interest in.

Email me to let me know how you got on!

 (Suggested time: 30-45 minutes)

 

PE

Don’t forget to do some daily exercise!

Do two or three of these Five Minute Moves from Joe Wicks each day – spread them across the day as if they were playtimes, maybe!

Try working through this series of 25 lessons from the Association for Physical Education – do two or three in the week.

 

(Suggested time: 5 minutes daily, plus 30 minutes for the longer PE lessons)

Week Beginning: 14 December 2020

It’s the last week!

Maths

In school this week, we’re reviewing the assessments that children have just done. Below, you’ll find links to some tests which children could do to revise what they’ve learnt. Send me your completed sheets so I can see what I need to help you with more! The answers should provide a good opportunity for you to see how to approach each question. If you’ve already done these, please email me for different work!

Don’t forget to practise times tables on Times Table Rockstars, too. I’d like everyone to do at least one ‘sound check’ to see how you’re doing on everything.

Email me if you need your child’s login and password details.

You don’t have to print the worksheets. Your child can write or draw their answers on paper. Your child’s learning will be most effective if you sit with them to pause the clip and check / praise / support your child as the clip moves on.

(Suggested time: 15 minutes daily)

Reading comprehension

Day 1: Watch this year’s John Lewis Christmas advert and complete this RIC

Day 2:  Agree with your child three words from any text they’ve read which they’re less familiar with. Your child should find out what they mean (eg by checking an online dictionary or simply discuss with you) and how to use them in sentences (both when speaking and when writing). Challenge your child to write a sentence with each word in, or to drop the words into conversations at home.

Day 3:  Read this First News Article and answer the questions. The answers are on the final sheet – no peeking until you’re done!

Day 4: Read your fluency or RIC text again. Next, do one of the following:

  • Your child could list at least ten facts they’ve read or heard in the text. (If it’s a fiction text (a story), then the facts would be based on the story, like ‘Harry Potter picked up his broomstick’, rather than actual facts from the real world.)
  • Your child could create questions and answers for what they’ve read. (For example, it could be a TV or radio interview based on what they’ve read.)
  • Your child could create their own ‘RIC’ questions.
  • Your child could draw and label a character or setting that they’ve read about.

Day 5: Book Club. Once a week, we have a relaxing lesson where we sit and read quietly, often with an adult. At home, we’d like you to read your favourite book or text, too. If possible, discuss the book with an adult, talking about some or all of the sections of this grid.

 (Suggested time: 30 minutes daily)

Writing

We’re editing and improving our stories this week, but not doing much writing because of all the assessments.

National Oak Academy have a good sequence of lessons on story writing that you could work through if you’re working from home.

Topic

This week’s topic learning is about history. We’re continuing our topic all about prehistoric Britain compared to Ancient Egypt – an advanced ancient civilisation.

This series of lessons from Oak National Academy is all about prehistoric Britain. Choose one lesson to do that you’ve got a particular interest in.

As always, let me know how you got on with your learning.

(Suggested time: 30-40 minutes)

 

Science 

We’re carrying on with our learning about forces.

Writing

We’re starting a new unit of work linking to our new learning about the Stone Age and Ancient Egypt. We’re going to write stories!

Use these slides to help you.

Day 1: Read the Fire and Water extract from the hobbit. Find eight words that you’re less familiar with, find out their meanings and write sentences with them in to show to you understand how to use them in sentences.

Day 2: Create a story map of the extract. This is where you draw a simple picture or icon to represent each part of the story. You could just look at the slides, or cut up the statements on this sheet to sort them physically.

Day 3: Create a table to analyse the different ways that Tolkien starts sentences, having a go at creating your own versions. Use the slides to help you. You could use this sheet to record your own sentences.

Day 4:  On a subject of you own choosing, write a paragraph showing that you can start sentences in different ways.

Day 5: Recap what parentheses are and practise adding them to sentences. Use the slides to help.

Topic

This week’s topic learning is about history. We’re continuing our topic all about prehistoric Britain compared to Ancient Egypt – an advanced ancient civilisation.

This week, just like we’re doing in class, you’re going to learn about how life was in Ancient Egypt for different groups of people.

First, have a look at this website and use the different tabs to read about a day in the life of a pharaoh, nobleman, craftsman, priest, solider, farmer and woman.

Next, use these slides and complete the tasks involved.

(Suggested time: 30-40 minutes)

 

Science 

We’re carrying on with our learning about forces. This lesson from Oak National Academy links closely to what we’ve been doing in class.

Week beginning 16.11.20

Posted on Sunday 15 November 2020 by Mr Owen

Good morning Y5!

It’s anti-bullying week this week. Watch this video to find out about Odd Socks Day!

Maths

We’re continuing to think about multiplication this week.

Children should use these resources:

On Friday, we’re doing arithmetic sessions which include lots of different aspects of numbery maths, such as addition, subtraction, place value, times tables and number facts. If you’re at home on Friday, spend some time practising these aspects of maths.

You could set yourself some addition and subtraction calculations by randomly picking two four or five digit numbers to calculate with, and then practise times tables on Times Table Rockstars, too. We’re concentrating on the 12 times tables this week, but I’d like everyone to do at least one ‘sound check’ to see how you’re doing on everything.

Email me if you need your child’s login and password details.

You don’t have to print the worksheets. Your child can write or draw their answers on paper. Your child’s learning will be most effective if you sit with them to pause the clip and check / praise / support your child as the clip moves on.

(Suggested time: 30 minutes of Maths and 15 minutes of Rockstars daily)

Spelling

Look on our spelling page for this week’s words.

Your child should complete one task each day.

  • Day 1: Generate more words linked to the spelling pattern or ‘rule’. (You could look out for the words in the book you’re reading at home, or any other text, like a website linked to our learning.)
  • Day 2: Practise the spellings using two of the ideas in our Super Spelling Strategies Guide. (Set yourself and others at home a challenge of using some of the words when you’re speaking, too!)
  • Day 3: Write separate sentences, each containing one of the spellings. (Don’t forget to show off really neat handwriting and make sure you sentence starts with a capital letter and ends with a full stop, exclamation mark (!) or question mark (?).
  • Day 4: Repeat Task 2 or 3.
  • Day 5: Get an adult at home to test you on your spellings. Practise any you spell incorrectly – you could write them out carefully until you’re sure.

(Suggested time: 15-20 minutes daily)

Reading fluency

This week, we’ll be reading this text about hieroglyphics to build up fluency skills.

In school, we generally follow this sequence:

  • Day 1: Read the text aloud with your child listening. Read it clearly and slowly, pointing to each word as you read. Have a chat about any unfamiliar words.
  • Day 2: Read aloud each sentence (a full short sentence or part of a longer sentence), and have your child read it back to you. Do this ‘echo reading’ for the whole text.
  • Day 3: Read the text and talk about the effect of the punctuation on how you read it – pauses for full stops and expression for exclamations (!) or questions (?). Your child reads the text aloud.
  • Day 4: Read together with expression (just like you practised on Day 3).
  • Day 5: Your child reads independently and fluently.

(Suggested time: 15 minutes daily)

Reading comprehension

We’re continuing to read Wolf Brother in class, but we’ll also be reading other things too.

1 and 2: Matilda, Who told Lies and was Burnt to Death by Hilaire Belloc (it’s a comedy, honest!)

Follow these slides and complete the lessons explained on them.

3. Do this RIC on bullying.

4. Read this First News article and answer the questions. The answers are at the back.

5. Book Club. Once a week, we have a relaxing lesson where we sit and read quietly, often with an adult. At home, we’d like you to read your favourite book or text, too. If possible, discuss the book with an adult, talking about some or all of the sections of this grid.

 (Suggested time: 30 minutes daily)

Writing

Activity 1: Your child should practise skills they’ve learnt recently by using the following sequence:

Task 1:

  • define relative clauses
  • list different examples of relative clauses
  • find and highlight relative clauses in a book you’re reading at home

Task 2:

  • write sentences, each with a different relative clause.

Task 3:

  • write a short piece of writing about Ancient Egypt using lots of relative clauses

Activity 2:

Children should write six sentences about a picture or photograph you choose. Your child should remember capital letters, finger spaces, joined up letters (use our handwriting guide to help, paying particular attention to tall letters and letters that go beneath the line), and a full stop, exclamation mark (!) or question mark (?) to end the sentence. Encourage interesting words to make their writing more interesting.

(Suggested time: 30 minutes daily)

Topic

This week’s topic learning is about history. We’re continuing our topic all about prehistoric Britain compared to Ancient Egypt – an advanced ancient civilisation.

This week, just like we’re doing in class, you’re going to learn about what hieroglyphics were and have a go at writing some with this lesson from BBC Bitesize.

Next, we’d like you to learn about what pyramids were built for using this website.

  1. Why were they built?
  2. How were they built?
  3. How did different people feel about them being built?
  4. How do we know all this information?
  5. What is your opinion on the pyramids?

(Suggested time: 30-40 minutes)

Science 

We’re carrying on with our learning about forces. This lesson from Oak National Academy links closely to what we’ve been doing in class – gears, levers and pulleys.

Email me to let me know how you got on!
