Weekly Spelling Tasks (Aim to do 1 per day) Weekly Writing Tasks (Aim to do 1 per day)
Monday ● Ask your child to practise the week 1
spellings from the Term 5 spelling sheet using caterpillar spelling. (see attached)
Tuesday
Use the same words as yesterday. Ask your child to find a definition for each of the words. They may need support to find the most relevant definition. Get them to use each word in a sentence.
Wednesday
Use the same words and practise using the look, say, cover, write, check method.
Thursday
Using the same words, ask your child to record synonyms, antonyms, the meaning of the word and an example of how to use the word in a sentence.
Friday
Test your child on the words they have been practising. Ask them to send me their score or a photo of the test via dojo. I’d love to see how they got on.
Monday
Ask your child to write a recount of the last week to add to their recount of the previous week. They should include how they are feeling about the situation. This could be used in history one day to show what happened during this period!
Tuesday
Write a character description for a character from Pig Heart Boy or Cloud Busting. This could be one of the main characters or one that plays a smaller role in the narrative. Draw a picture of the character to accompany the description
Wednesday
Write a letter as the character you described yesterday to another character in the narrative. What do they want to find out about? How are they feeling about the events of the narrative? Aim to include at least 2 key events from the book.
Thursday
Watch a film of your choice. Write the story in your own words. Aim to include at least 4 different conjunctions, 2 relative clauses, 3 fronted adverbials and a small section of direct speech. It should be written so that I can guess the film without being given the title. Resources to support these language features can be found at the bottom of the document.
Friday
Did you get a response to your letter/email/ text message that you sent last week? If you did, write a response to send back to them. If you didn’t get a response, write a letter/email/text message to another member of your family or neighbour.
Learning Project – Our World To be completed throughout the week
The project this week aims to provide opportunities for your child to gain a better understanding of the World Around Them.
● Let’s Wonder: Throughout history, the world around us has changed dramatically. With the biggest changes happening in the last 150 years. The areas in which we live have gone through lots of changes. Using online resources, can you find out how the area you live has changed throughout history?

Where in the World: We are surrounded by a world of unique plants and animals. Some of which can only survive in very special conditions. Using a range of resources, can you find out about 5
different plants or animals and the conditions that they live in?
● Let’s Create: The world around us is full of beauty and wonder. Can you create a piece of art using materials you find in the world inside and outside of your house? You could use: plants, recycling, newspapers, paint, pencils, etc.
Get Cooking There are fantastic recipes that you can create using foods that do not need to travel too far and can be found nearby. Try creating one of these recipes using local produce.

Additional Activities
● Be Active:
Joe Wicks will be running free 30 minute PE sessions for children on a daily basis on his You tube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/thebodycoach1
Go Noodle with the family or have a family workout. Fancy a dance? There are lots of dance videos you could try. Dance. Maybe try some Yoga. Recommendation at least 2 hours of exercise a week.
● Time to Talk: Play a board game, facetime a member of your family you have not seen this week, enjoy a family indoor picnic or have a family dinner.
Additional learning resources you may wish to engage with
TTRockstars / Numbots – Your child’s log in details can be found at the front of their
exercise book
Purple Mash – Class teachers have assigned tasks linked to your learning that you can
have a go at and send back to them.
Bug Club – Your child’s login details have been sent via Class Dojo. Books have been
allocated to children with questions to answer as they read. To access the questions, the
children will need to click on the bug.
Twinkl - to access these resources click on the link and sign up using your own email
address and creating your own password. Use the offer code UKTWINKLHELPS.
The line of speech ends with a comma, exclamation mark or question mark.
A reporting clause is used at the end (said Jane, shouted Paul, replied Mum).
A full stop goes after the reporting clause.
If the direct speech in the sentence is broken up by information about who is
speaking, add in a comma or question mark or exclamation mark to end the first
piece of speech and a full stop or another comma before the second piece (before
the speech marks), for example: "It's lovely," she sighed, "but I can't afford it right
now." / "I agree!" said Kate. "Let's go!"
Fronted Adverbials
An adverbial is a word or phrase that has been used like an adverb to add detail or further
information to a verb.
'Fronted' adverbials are 'fronted' because they have been moved to the front of the
sentence, before the verb. In other words, fronted adverbials are words or phrases at the
beginning of a sentence, used to describe the action that follows.
The fronted adverbials are shown in blue.
Relative Clauses
A relative clause is a specific type of subordinate clause that adapts, describes or modifies a
noun. Relative clauses add information to sentences by using a relative pronoun such as
who, that or which. The relative clause is used to add information about the noun, so it must
be ‘related’ to the noun.
Relative pronoun Noun that the pronoun refers to
who Refers to a person
which Refers to an animal, place or thing
that Can refer to a person, place or thing
The relative clauses are shown in purple.
Children can also improve their writing by using an embedded relative clause. This is where
the clause is positioned in the middle of a sentence.
The embedded relative clauses are shown in purple.
Conjunctions
A conjunction is a type of connective ('connective' is an umbrella term for any word that
connects bits of text together). Specifically, a conjunction connects two clauses in a
sentence.
We use co-ordinating or correlative conjunctions to join two parts of a sentence that are of
equal weight or importance.
The co-ordinating conjunctions are shown in red in the sentences.
A subordinating conjunction introduces a subordinate clause (a clause that does not make
sense on its own).
The subordinating conjunctions are shown in red in the sentences.
