YEAR 5 HOME LEARNINGW/C 29.6.20
It was so great to see some of your work last week, thankyou for the e-mails. Keep them coming! We appreciate your efforts to help your children with home learning and we know that many of you have your own work pressures, so as previously; the message is to do what you can, when you can.We would love to be able to give a little more feedback so we would encourage you to send pictures or documents of writing and foundation subject work to [email protected] in our school office who will then be pass it on to the year group leaders for feedback.
We will be hosting another end of week catch up this week and we are hoping to enable your child’s own class teacher to be able to host the chat, however, bear with us as our IT firewall needs to be adjusted to allow teachers to make these video calls from school and this could take some time. If it is not up and running in school by the end of the week then the teachers working from home will continue to host the chats. The chat time, date and link will be sent via Marvellous Me. To able to access these virtual chats you will need a Google Account (free). Please ensure that the username is the child’s name to enable us to take a register. You simply click on the link (or copy and paste it into Google) at the correct time and wait for the teacher to let you in the meeting. Meetings will take place on Thursdays or Fridays to give people a chance to have completed work and have something ready to share. The teacher might even test a few of the spellings you’ve been learning! There will also be a midweek ‘drop in’ session for each year group to allow you to ask any questions you may have about the week’s learning before the end of week session.
This timetable shows the home learning tasks to be completed over the course of the week.Answers to the SPaG tasks will be sent along with next week’s timetable.

English- Reading and Writing and Art Year 5
Read chapters 7 and 8 of ‘The Ickabog’. There are some VIPERS questions for you to answer below which will help you to meet these objectives:
Draw inferences from reading and explain thinking, returning to the text to support opinions. Deduce characters feelings, thoughts and motives for actions.
V (Vocabulary) 1. “The candles sputtered in their silver sticks”. Describe what the candles were doing in your own words.I (Inference) 2. “Yes Yes I remember” Why did King Fred cut Major Beamish off at this point?P (Prediction) 3. Read right to the end of chapter 8, what special thing do you think King Fred will do to ‘prove what a wonderful man he was?’E (Explain) 4. “Major Beamish was in a most unfortunate position” Why did he feel this way at this point in the story?R (Retrieve) 5. What were the Lords doing when Major Beamish was summoned by King Fred?S (Summarise) 6. Describe the reactions of other people when Bert was given a medal by the King.
Have a go at an illustration for one of these chapters- maybe a picture of the feast that the Lords and King Fred were enjoying or a scene from The Day of the Petition.
Your writing task is to ‘plan and write a narrative with a clear narrative voice’.You should rewrite the story of the Day of the Petition and use your prediction from above to include what you think will happen next. You can include details from the text and use your imagination to make up details and events of your own too. You should aim to write in a similar style to JK Rowling so that it sounds as if her story has just been continued. You can include dialogue between the citizens and Fred or the Lords, remember to punctuate this accurately with inverted commas.These are the objectives you’ll be successful with if you do this task well:
Plan and write a story with a clear narrative voice Write in the style of a particular author. Use dialogue to build character and move action forward. Use joined handwriting throughout independent writing Proof read for spelling and punctuation errors, making changes to improve writing
Spellings:
29th June Words with the letters <ei>
ceiling veinreceipt reignreceive freightdeceit neighbourperceiveconceit
1. Explain to children that the pairs of letters <ei> and <ie> are common in English words and it can be tricky to remember which words have which. Ask children if they’ve heard of the rule “i before e, except after c” often used to remember which way around to write the let-ters. Explain the rule, but also stress that that there are lots of excep-tions to this rule. Look at the 10 spellings for this week. Which words follow the rule and which don’t? Identify what sound the letters <ei> make in each word. Now children practise spelling each word using the method below:
2. Play Ping Pong spelling: Children work with a partner to practise spelling each word aloud whereby each partner (or even a toy at home for extra fun!) takes a turn at saying each letter aloud until the whole word has been spelled aloud. Repeat several times for each word. Can you get faster?
Challenge: Use a dictionary to find other words with the letter pairs <ei> or <ie> in them and sort them into a table with <ei> words in one column and <ie> words in the other. Which words follow the “i before e except after c” rule? Can the words be sorted into groups? e.g. by rhyme or length of word?
Handwriting Poem
The CrocodileRoald Dahl
"No animal is half as vileAs Crocky–Wock, the crocodile.On Saturdays he likes to crunch
Six juicy children for his lunchAnd he especially enjoys
Just three of each, three girls, three boys.He smears the boys (to make them hot)
With mustard from the mustard pot.But mustard doesn't go with girls,
It tastes all wrong with plaits and curls.With them, what goes extremely well
Is butterscotch and caramel.It's such a super marvelous treat
When boys are hot and girls are sweet.At least that's Crocky's point of viewHe ought to know. He's had a few.That's all for now. It's time for bed.Lie down and rest your sleepy head.
Ssh. Listen. What is that I hear,Galumphing softly up the stair?
Go lock the door and fetch my gun!Go on child, hurry! Quickly run!
No stop! Stand back! He's coming in!Oh, look, that greasy greenish skin!The shining teeth, the greedy smile!
It's Crocky–Wock, the Crocodile!"

Week 4
Topic:
Aspirations Focus Afternoons Overview
Aspiration and ‘Being the Best that You Can Be’ is so important to use at Fulwell Junior School. Before Lockdown we were taking part in ‘Faculty Fridays’ where we would focus on the same thing as a whole school and learn about real life skills. The work for the foundation topic this week is based around the Faculty Fridays that we would have had this term in school. This timetable is designed to help you to organise the topic work over the course of the week. We are, of course, not expecting everyone to be able to complete all of these tasks or to work on this project every single day. However, for those who do want to complete the same work as the children will be doing in school we have provided everything you should need to do so. Each lesson comes with a
powerpoint that is available on our website and tasks are explained in full on them. As always we’d love to see any work that you produce from this.
