WALT: Calculate the area of rectangles Identify equivalent fractions and convert fractions Compare and order fractions (less than 1)

WALT: Plan and write a recount (eyewitness account)

Reading journal for the

week: Choose a

book, either from Bug Club, an audio book,

or an actual book!

Create a reading journal style page, using the book review sheet from your Home Learning pack to help you. Challenge yourself to choose a different style of activity each day!

You could read one of the stories from The Book of Hopes

edited by Katherine Rundell. If

you look on the index pages you can choose a title that interests you and

makes you CURIOUS to read on. https://literacytrust.org.uk/family-

This week’s school value is Curiosity 'Curiosity killed the cat.' Why do people say this? What does the word curiosity mean? Watch this film clip and think about questions you would like to ask, for example: who put the rope there? What is it connected to? https://vimeo.com/46383515 Now watch this short film. https://www.literacyshed.com/the-switch.html Why is it good that living things are curious? Does it benefit them? Always? Who are in the other boxes? Is it good to take risks? When is it important to be cautious? Now have a go writing your own poem (remember poems don’t have to rhyme) based on the word curious. This could be any type of poem for example an acrostic poem where each line starts with the letters that spell out CURIOUS or CURIOSITY or a poem where you include questions for example: Are You Curious? Would you like to know? Do you ever wonder why cat’s eyes glow? Are you curious why a cheetah has spots or why stars shine at night? Do you ever wonder…? Are you curious to know why…? Remember to illustrate your poem – we can’t wait to see them!

Please make sure you are following the lessons that we have identified on the timetable for White Rose rather than those that automatically open on their website

White Rose Maths: Summer Term – Week 4 (w/c 11th May) Lesson 1 – Area of rectangles Today you are going to be learning more about the area of shapes.

Yesterday morning, Miss Walker (the fabulous teacher of 5PW) strolled in to her usually pristine kitchen and discovered the most curious sight. Small pools of water, green slimy puddles, a blue top that didn’t belong to her and some muddy webbed footprints! What on earth had happened? She thought she must be dreaming! What do you think has happened? What questions would you want to ask her?

Watch the following clip https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JtQ4DdzCZMA&feature=emb_logo Answer the inference questions below based on the book you have just watched! You may wish to present this like a reading journal style page! Create a timeline of events from the book (you will need this later in the week so keep it safe!) as this week you are going to gather all the available evidence from the invasion of the flying creatures and write an eyewitness account (which is a type of recount) for Miss Walker. There are some examples of eyewitness accounts in Wednesday’s resources.

Look back at question 6 where you have investigated how many rectangles you can draw that have an area of 24 cm2

. As you can’t discuss these with a partner look closely at the possible lengths and widths you have found. What do you notice about these measurements? What do you notice about the perimeter of the rectangles you have created? Is the perimeter always the same when the area is 24 cm2?

TUES

Tuesday’s Terrific Maths Challenges Today we will be continuing to focus on the area of shapes Complete this lesson: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zh9brj6

You will need to be able to see Area

Activity 1 but you don’t have to print it out as you can use a piece of paper for your jotttngs. You don’t need to complete Activity 2 on the website.

Miss Walker will need your eyewitness account to be clearly based on the evidence. You will need to choose who the eyewitness/eyewitnesses will be. It could be someone who was fishing at the pond, a keen astronomer looking into the night sky, the man eating his supper at 11:21pm, the Grandma in chair sleeping with the TV on, the owner of the dog that started to bark at 4:38am or someone else you think may have witnessed the event.

Science: WALT: be able to name and know the function/s of each of the parts of a flower Think about what you have learned in previous years about the parts of a plant and their functions. What are the functions of the root, stem, leaves, flower and fruit? Watch the video clip about: How Plants make Seeds:

Calculate the area of each colour in the shape. Explain how you know you have the correct answers.

Today (to help us with our writing or eyewitness account later in the week) we are going to learn more about recounts. The purpose of recount is to inform and retell significant events. You will have written recounts such as diaries and newspaper reports before. Watch the following first video (29 seconds) – what do you think the purpose of a recount is? Who do you think the audience of a recount would be? WHY? https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zk3tpg8 Then watch the second clip (Michael Rosen). Have a go at activity 1 (located underneath the video) Use your knowledge about recount texts to find the features of a recount in example number 1 below. Have a look at example 2 – what do you notice about this one? How is it different to the first example you looked at? Use the cue-card below did you identify all of the features? If not, see if you can find the remaining features in the recounts. Which features appear in both examples? Which features appear only in one? Why do you think this is? Miss Walker doesn’t think chronology is important in a recount. Can you convince her why she is wrong?

Watch a video clip about Parts of a Flower (complete the activities following the clip).

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zgssgk

7/articles/zqbcxfr Cut out the cross section of the flower and stick the name labels on to annotate the parts of the flower - see picture attached OR create your own 3d labelled model. Challenge: Draw a comic strip to explain the process of pollination. Plants produce flowers to make seeds. To make a seed, a flower must be pollinated. Pollen from the male of one flower travels to the female part of another flower where the seeds are made. Most, but not all plants, have both male and female parts inside one flower. The stigma is usually in the centre and stamens, which produce the pollen, cluster around it. The petals act like an advertisement to attract various animals, which carry the pollen from one flower to another.

WED

White Rose Maths: Summer Term – Week 4 (w/c 11th May) Lesson 2 - Equivalent fractions Don’t forget to draw your diagrams accurately in challenge 6. Look carefully at the denominators in

challenges 7 and 8.

Using your knowledge of recounts from yesterday, look at the examples of eyewitness accounts below. What are the similarities? How are these different to the recounts you looked at yesterday? The eyewitness account you will be writing will be a more formal piece of writing and will include significant yet concise details. We can add this detail by using parenthesis, you already know how to do this, today is just a re-cap! Watch the second video on the link: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zn8c47h - then have a go at completing activity 1 (under the video!)

History: WALT understand who the Egyptians were and how they survived. We bet you are CURIOUS to learn more about life in Ancient Egypt Key Question - Why was the River Nile important to Ancient Egyptians? The River Nile was essential for the survival of the ancient Egyptian people. Today you will investigate the importance of the Nile, Some topics to research include:

Trade

Bricks

Transport

Play the equivalent fraction game on

https://www.topmarks.co.uk/Flash.aspx?a=activity06 Be curious! What do you notice about the equivalent fractions that solve the puzzles? Don’t you think Dick and Dom’s chocolate cake looks delicious!

As the eyewitness account will be formal - you can look at the cue card below if you need to remind yourself about formal writing! Choose one of the eyewitness accounts below and have a go at re-writing this using brackets or commas (you may need to add in extra information to help you - you can make this up!) Examples: The conditions, which were unusual for the time of year, were extremely challenging for the lifeboat crews. The (unusual) conditions were extremely challenging for the lifeboat crews.

Fishing/Farming

Food

Calendar

Religious beliefs Produce a poster to show why the River Nile was important to Ancient Egyptians. Think about how you will make the poster look attractive whilst providing informative information for the reader. This video is a good starting point

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/clips/z3rwmp3

Challenge What can you learn about the River Nile in modern times? How is it changed?

THURS

White Rose Maths: Summer Term – Week 4 (w/c 11th May) Lesson 3 – Converting improper fractions to mixed numbers and vice versa (Did you know vice versa means the other way round?) If you can’t talk to someone about challenge 3 then just make a note of any patterns you spot.

Today you are going to plan an eyewitness account for the events which occurred in the book ‘Tuesday’ - one of the examples from yesterday is about this event (you should have noticed that as it is not the reporter speaking, they have used “ “ marks to show where the witness spoke. We have also included an example of an eyewitness account for you to read today based on an event in a very well-known book. Read it through and magpie any words or phrases you’d like to include in your own writing. Now read the information below to help you before you start to plan. There is a planning template below which you may wish to use. You may also find it useful to re-watch the video! Remember to be specific about what was witnessed. Use your timeline of events from Monday to help you with this Audience: Miss Walker Purpose: To inform her about what happened in her kitchen Challenge You may wish to change details from the book so it is different animals flying and different events etc.

Music: WALT sing with feeling focusing on melody and pitch Have you heard of Bob Marley? We bet you’re CURIOUS about what our lesson is about now! In today’s lesson he will help you learn more about melody and pitch. Watch the video clips on the website, read the information and then complete Activity 1 and 2. https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/z44x6v4

If you have time you could also explore Activity 3 where you can try out a creative Ten Pieces activity at home.

MyMaths: Improper and mixed fractions Or for a non- screen activity: Create your own set of problems similar to White Rose challenge 4. Draw diagrams for each one and don’t forget to write the answers! For example

If there were 2 whole chocolate bars and 3

10

of a chocolate bar. How many teachers can have one tenth of a chocolate bar? 23 teachers.

FRI White Rose Maths: Summer Term – Week 4 (w/c 11th May) Lesson 4 – Compare and order fractions less than one

Use your plan from yesterday and the cue-cards to help you write up your eyewitness account. Share your writing with a family member and see if they have any questions about what happened. You may wish to record yourself presenting this and share with your class teachers on seesaw! Miss Walker can’t wait to discover what happened and all the teachers would love to see the creativity and imagination that has gone into your eyewitness account

French: WALT select the right vocabulary for the planets In French, when singular words end in s, the s is usually not pronounced e.g. le jus. However a small number of words do pronounce the s in the singular form including Vénus and Uranus. Watch this video and practise pronouncing the names of the planets. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kX3xnW-_xKc&feature=emb_logo New Language: Mercure / Vénus / Mars / Jupiter /

Saturne / Uranus / Neptune / Pluton - the planets la Terre/ la lune / le soleil - the Earth / the moon / the sun. Did you know some of the days of the week associated with the planet names in French are; lundi = la lune, mardi = mars, mercredi = mercure, jeudi = Jupiter, vendredi = venus, samedi =

saturne? Create your own set of Planet flash cards with the French and English words and include a beautiful picture of each planet.

Play the game comparing and ordering fractions

https://kids.classroomsecrets.co.uk/resource/year-5-compare-and-order-fractions-less-than-1-game/ You could have a go creating your own set of multiple choice questions and answers, then ask an adult to have a go solving them.

Remember to also complete the following: Spelling Shed, Times Tables Rock Stars, Grammar Bug, Bug Club

This week’s spellings are:

amateur ancient apparent apparently appreciate appreciated appreciative attached attach attachment

A BIG WELL DONE to everyone who has been logging on to Spelling Shed regularly.

You can practise the words in a variety of different ways (just like in class) for example: draw a picture within each word, write the words in bubble writing or

rainbow writing. Remember you can also go on Spelling Shed.

Example 1 – recount

Monday session 1: Inference questions

- Tuesday (the book) is virtually wordless. Why do you think David Wiesner decided to tell his story this way?

- Look at the few sentences in the book. Why do you think words and numbers are used here?

- How would it affect the way we read the story if there were no words at all?

- Why do you think the author called the book Tuesday?

- Pick one of the characters from the book and explain/draw what they might be thinking.

- If you were to give this book a title, what would it be and why?

Example 2 – recount

Interview with: Mrs Green

“I was sitting alone in my house watching my favourite

TV show when I must have dosed off. When I woke the

televison was on full blast, it was so loud I could hardly

hear myself think. When I opened my eyes I could see

floating dots so I cleaned my glasses, to my my

amazement the dots were still there! Now young man

my eyes are not what they were but there were hundreds,

thousands even, of toads hovering on lily pads in my

living room!I

I went to the kitchen to get my broom to shooo them

away, but by the time I returned they had gone leaving

nothing but the most horrible sticky slime on my remote

control!

Tibbles my cat hasn’t been the same since!”

Incident report by the RNLI, Harwich

12th July 2012

Aldeburgh and Harwich

RNLI volunteers were called out to a

yacht on Friday, which had run

aground on the Aldeburgh Ridge in

rough seas & gale force winds. The

conditions were extremely

challenging for the lifeboat crews -

the yacht was towed along the coast

by Aldeburgh lifeboat, as Harwich

lifeboat escorted with members of

her own crew on board the yacht,

using a salvage pump to save the

vessel from sinking. Rescue

Helicopter 125 from RAF Wattisham

was also on scene.

English session 4: example of an eyewitness account based on a book

Strange sightings

Yesterday morning, there were a number of reports of unusual happenings near Kings Cross station (London) and

also in the South East of England (Hampshire). Several members of the public witnessed a dazzling blue flash of

light in the sky. At first, some people thought their eyes were playing tricks on them because the sky was so

bright. One extremely reliable witness was sure there was a small light blue car (possibly a Ford Anglia) with two

teenagers sat in the front seat flying around the cloudless sky.

Many witnesses described how the car seemed to vanish before re-appearing above the streets of London. Miss

Jenny Davis, an infant school teacher from South London, described how she first noticed something in the sky

when she heard screaming and looked up to see what the strange noise was. She explained how, as well as two

boys, the car seemed to have a bird, which she believes was an owl, inside. After she had been watching for a

few moments, the car door swung open and she heard someone shout, “Harry.” Several seconds later, the car

disappeared from the clear blue sky. The only evidence that something unusual had happened was that she

discovered two beautiful white feathers and a box of chocolate frogs on the pavement.

A witness from Basingstoke (Hampshire) also described how shocked he was to look out of his bathroom window,

when he was washing his hands, and see a face staring back at him. He claimed he was so frightened that all he

could remember was that one of the boys had a scar (in the shape of a lightning bolt) on his forehead.

Mr David Johnson, a station inspector from London, claimed that he witnessed two boys behaving strangely just

before the car appeared in the sky above King’s Cross Station. He explained that whilst he was sat between

platforms 9 and 10, having his tea break, two scruffy teenage boys (one with glasses and the other with red hair)

tried to crash through a brick wall with their luggage trolley. He said he was surprised to see that they had a two-

foot tall, pure white snowy owl in a cage as well as several suitcases. Both boys quickly raced outside before he

was able to speak to them. CCTV footage showed the boys disappear in to the busy car park.
