Spelling and Grammar

Rather than set a separate lesson, we’d like you to use the time to make sure your spelling and grammar in your fantasy writing are as accurate as possible.  Can you make sure that you use all of the features that you have studied at home via our Zoom lessons, the Oak Academy lessons and your grammar checks?  Make sure all of the key spellings that you’ve been revising are correct too!

LO: Edit and publish my work

Today you are going to edit and improve your piece of writing and then write it up.  Firstly, read through your work to check for sense and the non-negotiables.  Then check your work against the toolkit and add anything that you think you need to.  Below you will find attached a wardrobe that you can use as a background to write on.  We would like this work to be hand written so that you can work on your handwriting! 

Please bring your work in to school next week for us to display in the classroom.

Grammar lesson

Here is a lesson recapping relative clauses, which we mentioned briefly in yesterday's Zoom lesson: https://classroom.thenational.academy/lessons/to-develop-knowledge-of-relative-clauses-6mu6ae?activity=video&step=1

World Book Day lesson

Your afternoon art task for today is to create your own ‘Narnia Wardrobe’. You can be as creative as you like with this activity! Feel free to use whichever art or craft materials you like, for example pencil, paint, chalk, pastels, crayons or even collage…

See the PDF below for more information.

Maths

Today’s maths tasks require you to work logically and systematically (in an ordered way).

There are three chilli challenges to choose from:

1 chilli: Cheerleaders – the local cheerleading team’s uniform is red, blue and green and is made up of a hat, t-shirt and shorts. How many different combinations of uniform and colours can you find?

2 chilli: Ice Cream Maths – this tasty problem requires you to work out combinations of ice cream flavours that can fit on a 2 scoop cone. How many combinations are there?

3 chilli: Euler’s problem –Euler was a famous Swiss mathematician who lived back in the 1700’s. This problem was about a town called Konigsberg, which had seven bridges crossing its river system. He wanted to know if it was possible to take a walk through the town, visiting each part of the town and crossing each bridge only once. We’d like you to use your logical and systematic brains to see if this was possible. This is a tricky challenge, so make sure you read all the information carefully before tackling it.

The solutions to these problems can be found on the last page of each document, so you can check your answers at the end. Good luck!

LO: Use a range of sentence structures in a story opening to hook my reader

Today you are going to write your own journey just like we started to in yesterday’s lesson. Write at least a paragraph of you entering you wardrobe, travelling through and arriving in your new world.  Below is a checklist of everything I’d like you to include.

• I have checked my non negotiables
• I have used ambitious vocabulary
• I have introduced setting and character
• I have use ENPs (expanded noun phrases)
• I have used a range of simple, compound and complex sentences

BONUS: I have included well punctuated speech to show thoughts

This task should take 30 – 40 minutes to complete to a high standard.  You may wish to take your time and include as much as you can in your first draft, or you may wish to write a first draft quite quickly and then go back and add to it.  Take time to make it interesting and original – you want your reader to feel like they’re travelling with you!  There will be time to edit on Friday.

Remember!

Don’t forget to prepare your book recommendation for tomorrow’s Zoom lesson – see the task we set yesterday.

You may be asked to share your book with the class, so be prepared to talk about it and tell us why you enjoyed it so much. See you in the Zoom tomorrow!

World Book Day lesson

LO: Create a fantasy landscape

Art: Design and create your own landscape setting.

This week in English, you are creating your own fantasy world as a setting for a story. Today, we would like you to create your setting as a piece of artwork.

Look at the attached ‘landscape setting’ resource, for some images and ideas to help you.

You can use any medium available to you: Felt tips, crayons, pastel, paint, collage etc. Maybe you have an online tool/app that allows you to design your own world in?

Think carefully about your landscape before you start. It’s always a good idea to plan it out and do a draft before starting your final version.

Remember to send in photos of your final piece!

Website lesson

Maths

LO: Solve word problems involving the four operations

Today you have a selection of word problems involving the four operations: +  -  x   ÷

There are four levels for you to choose from. The ‘1 chilli’ option consists of addition and subtraction only. The rest involve all four operations.

Remember to read the question carefully and highlight the important information. Look for key vocabulary to know which operation to use.

World Book Day preparation task

We would like you to do some preparation for our World Book Day live lesson, which takes place this Thursday.

We will be talking about our favourite children’s books with you, and we will also be discussing opening lines to books during the lesson. However, the majority of the lesson will be filled by you!

In order for this to work, we would like you to choose a book you would like to recommend to the other children in the class. This could be a book from any genre – it doesn’t have to be a fantasy text! It could be a novel, a non-fiction book or even a poetry book. The main thing is you have to be able to justify why you think other children should read it!

If you have a copy of the book, please bring it along to the lesson, so you can hold it up whilst telling us all about it.

You will need to make some notes about why you recommend the book. If you like, you can complete the Book Recommendation Template below. Any one of you could be picked to do this, so make sure you are ready and organised! We don’t need a long speech from you, just a minute or two talking about your book choice. We will listen to as many of you as possible during the Zoom.

Have fun!
