Area Weekly Learning Project ‘The Rainforest’
Monday 29th June 2020
Just a few examples of FANTASTIC home learning!
Lots of examples of information work on animals from our “Under the sea”
topic plus great project work on countries which are special to us from our
“Around the World” topic. More examples of fantastic art work and creative
Maths work as well as amazing efforts for our Home Sports Day. Well done
everyone!
We are missing you greatly in school and we
hope you are having fun learning from
home. Please email in any of your work you
would like us to look at!
Look out for a weekly celebration of learning
on our school website.
Stay safe and all the best from the Green
Area Team.
WEEKLY HOME LEARNING
Over the week, please try to complete at least 3 ‘starter’ and 3 ‘Main’ tasks for English and Maths and submit them to the Google Classroom.
Please complete a daily fitness task and at least 2 other challenges by Friday.
MAIN ENGLISH TASKS MAIN MATHS TASKS – Please make sure you self-mark your work before submitting it to the
Google Classroom Reading and
Handwriting
Read 5 times each
week so that you
can earn a Fiver.
Don’t forget to write
(or ask an adult to
write) the date and
the title of the book
you have been
reading in your
Home-School
Planner so you can
keep a record of the
wonderful reading
you are getting up
to!
Guided Reading
Have a read of the
Orangutan fact
sheet, which you will
find attached to this
document, and
answer the questions
on the guided
reading task sheet.
Handwriting
Choose a verse from
this week’s text focus
and copy it out in
your neatest writing.
Use a sharp pencil or
handwriting pen
rather than a biro
pen.
Join your
handwriting and
keep your letters a
consistent size.
Writing and Grammar tasks:
For this week’s learning we are going to be focusing on
the story ‘There’s a Rang-tan in my bedroom’ which was
written by the charity Greenpeace. Use the link below to
listen to an animated and read version of the story. You
will also find a copy of the story attached to this
document.
https://www.literacyshedblog.com/blog/category/rang-
tan
Task 1: Speaking and listening
Watch the animated clip of the link above. Have a
conversation with someone at home using the questions
below or think about the questions below
independently.
1. How does this video make you feel? Why?
2. What have you learned from the video?
3. How do your feelings towards the different
characters in the story change?
4. Does this story make you want to do
something? Why?
5. What age do you think this story is aimed at
and why?
Once you have had a reflective time thinking about the
questions above, you are now to record your own
version of the story. Think about your expression and
pace while you are reading. Remember that you can
draw emphasis to key parts of the story with your
expression.
Task 2: Pronouns
In this task you are going to be thinking like an animal.
Of course, we know the names of different man made
inventions and machines but a poor animal from the
rainforest will not. This means that they would use a
pronoun for the machine instead of its actual name (the
proper noun). Have a look at the examples on the work
sheet below and see if you can come up with some of
your own creative pronouns. This task will really help you
when you come to writing your own poem later in the
week.
Mr Balch’s Maths Group:
Main learning focus: Number properties Task 1: Square numbers
Square numbers are the answer from when you multiply 2 numbers by themselves. The square number
25 is made from 5 x 5 which is also shown as 52. On the number square below shade in all the square
numbers that you can find up to 100. Start with 1 x 1 and work up ( 2x2 etc.) until you won’t be able to
add your answer to the grid.
See how many you can memorise and ask someone at home to quiz you on it. Here is a clip we have
used in school that may help you memorise the square numbers.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJXnJ2aOA0E
It often works best
when you are sat at
a table with both
feet firmly planted
on the ground.
Task 3: Poetry Planning
Watch the animated clip to remind you of the story. For
this task you will be planning your own poem and
choosing your own animal from the rain forest that has
come to live in your bedroom. You can keep it as an
orang-utan if you would like to.
Create a story map. Remember to include sentence
and phrase ideas to help you with the next task.
In the first section, think about all the things the creature
might do in your room. How does it travel? What sounds
does it make? What do they play with? What do they
look like?
After, plan a section that explains why your chosen
creature has come to hide in your bedroom. You could
use similar ideas to the ones in the story or you could
involve other natural disasters (e.g. forest fires).
Remember this is from the point of view of your creature
so they might not know the proper nouns for the
machines in the forest. They might call a digger a metal
monster. Think back to the pronouns in task 2.
Finally, plan what you are going to do to help this
creature that has sought shelter in your room.
Task 4: Poetry
Now it is your turn to write a poem based on the plan
that you created in the last task. Have a listen to the clip
from the start of the week and read the WAGOLL. These
will help you shape your poetic ideas to a similar style.
You do not have to have a rhyming poem if you would
prefer not to.
Use the challenges below to push you to greatness in
your writing:
Mild Spicy Hot
Use a range of
pronouns to
refer to your
creature
Use alliteration
Use one of the
tricky words
from this week’s
spellings
Use a
metaphor/simile
Use rhyming
words to end
every other
sentence.
You can submit a written version or a performed version
of your poem.
Task 5: Up-levelling a letter to the Prime Minister
Task 2: Cube numbers
You completed a cube number task during the ‘Under the Sea’ week. Let’s see what you remember!
Have a go at the tasks below:
Calculate:
73= 103= 93= 123 =
Task 3: Lowest common multiple
Think back to task 1 from last week! We were looking at multiples which are numbers that belong to a
times table. When you are looking for the lowest common multiple, you are looking for the smallest
multiple possible that belongs to 2 numbers in question. Have a look at my example below:
Complete this table for this task
First number Second number LCM
4 3
2 5
10 6
9 5
3 9
6 9
As in the example, you write
the first 5 multiples for each
number then you can easily
identify the lowest common
multiple. With larger numbers
you may need to go a little
further than 5 multiples for
each.
For this week’s editing task, Green area would like you to
have a look at the text below and up-level it. The text is
a letter to the Prime Minister explaining the dangers that
the rainforest is facing. Use the chilli challenge table
below to help focus your editing skills.
Mild Spicy Hot
Use a range of
ISPACE openers
Extend ideas
with
ISAWAWABUB
or relative
clauses
Use a range of
punctuation
Complete the
letter
Task 4: Problem solving and reasoning with square and cube numbers
Task 4 is a chance for you to apply what you have covered over task 1 and 2. Have a go at the
challenges below. Remember with reasoning challenges you will sometimes need to explain how you
know something with a combination of words and numbers.
Task 5: Problem solving and reasoning with multiples, factors and prime numbers
Task 5 is a chance for you to apply what you have covered over the past 2 weeks of maths home
learning. Have a go at the challenges below. Remember with reasoning challenges you will sometimes
need to explain how you know something with a combination of words and numbers.
Mr Walker’s and Miss Paine’s Maths Groups- Logic puzzles Task 1: Chicken-Grain-Fox problem. See task sheet at bottom of page for explanation.
Task 2: Matchstick puzzles. See task sheet at bottom. You may want to use real sticks or similar to help
you solve these problems.
Task 3: https://www.mathsisfun.com/games/broken-calculator.html This problem will involve you
remembering back to BIDMAS from a few weeks ago in some cases to help solve as efficiently as
possible.
Task 4: https://www.mathsisfun.com/puzzles/cards-in-a-square.html
Solution for this one is on the hyperlink on the website. Think systematically as you work- be ready to
explain how you tried to solve this.
Task 5: (Hot): (See further down the home learning sheet for resources)This is a logic problem which
requires patience! Remember that you are looking for three key bits of information in each statement-
their age, who their mum or dad might be and who they might be married to if appropriate. All other
information is there to try and distract you! Be systematic and think about how you will record your
workings as you go.
SPELLING TASKS (10-15 minutes each) NUMBER/MULTIPLICATION STARTER TASKS
(10-15 minutes each) Keep practicing your spellings using the Spelling Frame
site the address is listed below. You can use any of the
KS2 practice links (year 3 and 4 and year 5 and 6)
https://spellingframe.co.uk/spelling-rule/5/Year-5-and-6
Spelling task:
Practice the words on the poster below and also see if
you can work out the definition for each word without a
dictionary. You can use a dictionary to check
afterwards.
a) Times tables are a very important part of maths
and Times Table Rockstars is a really fun way to
practice them. You can even challenge
members of the Green Area team.
b) Work with your family on being able to tell the
time accurately to the nearest five minutes and
be able to calculate time intervals in minutes
and hours & minutes.
c) Help your parents check that the you were
charged the correct amount on your shopping
list. With your parent’s permission, go through
the receipt from your recent shop. Did they get
the right change?
Please make sure you are using the links to the Year 5/6
Maths Ideas under the School Closure Learning section of
the school website. The puzzle/ investigation problems will
be especially useful to keep your brains mathematically
creative!
PICK AND MIX – FOUNDATION SUBJECT TASKS PE
For this week’s PE task, we are
encouraging you to go on a YOGA
adventure through a rainforest using the
link below.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LIBz

Yoga is a great way to keep fit and can
also be a very calming practice.
Art 1:
Have a look at the picture from this week’s text.
Create your own illustration to go along side your
poem.
Art 2:
For this art task we would like you to create a self-portrait of yourself where your face is
spliced together with an animal from the rainforest. Use the images below to inspire your
artwork for this task.
Geography:
There are many rain forests around the world. For your geography task this week, Green Area would
like you to choose a rain forest (or you can just research rainforests in general) and then to create a
fact file poster all about that rain forest.
Think about including answers to the questions below:
How big is it?
What animals live there?
Are there any endangered animals living there?
What problems/challenges does it face?
Is the rain forest used by man for products?
You may want to use this link for some interesting facts.
https://www.natgeokids.com/uk/discover/geography/physical-geography/15-cool-things-
about-rainforests/
RE:
Many people of the
world feel that they
have a responsibility to
defend and protect the
wildlife and environment
of planet Earth. Design
and create a poster that
would encourage other
people to care about
the rainforest. This about
all the rainforest provides
for animals and the
world. It is often said that
the rainforests are the
lungs of the planet!
Science:
For Science this week, we would like you to select an animal that lives in the rainforest and for you to complete a detailed bit of research into that animal. You could use this
link: https://www.natgeokids.com/uk/category/discover/animals/ to help you with suggestions.
You must to include:
Scientific vocabulary (such as: omnivore, carnivore, mammal etc.)
3 interesting facts
Details about the habitat
Highlight one key feature of the animal that makes it unique. (e.g. A zebra has stripes that are designed to disorient an attacker)
A hand drawn illustration of the animal.

There’s a toucan in my bedroom and it is making such a noise.
It has eaten my headphones, raided my sweets and poked holes in my cuddly toys.
There’s a toucan in my bedroom and it really loves to screech.
It has stolen all my socks and hidden them out of reach.

So I told this pesky toucan that he had to go away.
Oh toucan in my bedroom, just before you go.
Why were you in my bedroom?
I’d really like to know…
There are humans in my forest and I don’t know why they came.
They have burnt down so many trees with their bright and orange flames.
There are metal monsters in my forest and they growl like roaring thunder.
They eat the earth, frighten my friends and leave full of natural plunder.
There are humans in my forest and I don’t know what to do.
I feel like I am in danger so I thought I’d stay with you.
Oh toucan in my bedroom I know what to do.
I’ll fight to protect your forests because I want to help you.
Oh toucan in my bedroom I promise you my friend.
I will tell everyone that we need to act!
Oh toucan in my bedroom on me you can depend!
