Good morning,

This week is assessment week in school so I have uploaded some activities from The National Oak Academy for English and revision of previous units for maths.

Here are your tasks for today:

*English – Using the link below, find Monday’s English lesson for Year 5.  It is called ‘To identify the features of a persuasive letter’.  Follow the instructions in the lesson to work through the teaching video and the related activity.

*Maths – today is an activity to revise rounding. Take a look at the attached PowerPoint and then complete the worksheets.  Remember that you only need to complete one level for each area – VF (varied fluency) and RPS (reasoning and problem solving).  Choose whichever level you feel most confident with – developing, expected or greater depth. Mark using the answers at the back of the pack.

Good morning, here are your tasks for today:

*English – Today, we are going to write a description of the scene from yesterday’s section of text where Lydia’s mother was sewing a star onto Lydia’s coat.  In your description, you need to get a balance of action, description and speech.  Take a look at the attached model.  In this, I have tried to use some speech sandwiches!  These aren’t snacks but follows this pattern – speaker 1 speaks, speaker 1 does something, speaker 2 does something, something happens in the background, speaker 2 speaks.  See if you can spot each of these elements in my model then have a go at writing your own.

*Maths – Take a look at the attached PowerPoint on multiplication.  It is aimed at Year 5 as it is a revision of short multiplication as it may have been a while since we looked at it together.  When you have worked through the PowerPoint, have ago at the worksheet you feel most confident with i.e. Expected, completing both the VF (varied fluency) and RPS (reasoning and problem solving) for your chosen level.

Morning, here are today’s tasks:

*English – To finish off our topic, we are writing a travel blog about a visit to Niagara Falls.  The purpose of the blog is to persuade people to visit the falls.  I have attached a list of features that I would like to see in your writing – all of which we have looked at across the unit in school.  As inspiration, I have included a section of a ‘Lonely Planet’ guide below to get you started.

‘Welcome to Niagara Falls – an unstoppable flow of rushing water surges over the arcing fault in the riverbed with thunderous force. Great plumes of icy mist rise for hundreds of metres as the waters collide. Thousands of onlookers delight in the spectacle every day, drawn by the force of the current and the hypnotic mist.’
