Owl Class Home Learning Week Beginning 29.6.20-3.7.20

 

Welcome back to another week of home learning! Not many more weeks left to go!

 

Spellings

Please spend some time over the week practising your weekly spellings. There is an attached PowerPoint Presentation that goes through the spelling rule and gives you a chance to practise. The weekly spellings for this week are:

Optional challenge activity- Subtracting fractions

There are two challenges to try if you’d like to. The answers are provided.

 

Literacy

Task 1: Spellings
Practise your weekly spellings and use the PowerPoint to help you. Can you use your spellings in some sentences?

Task 2: SPaG- Handwriting focus

Read the poem The Star on the SpaG Handwriting sheet. Copy the poem in your neatest handwriting.

Task 3: Reading Comprehension

Our comprehension this week is going to focus on play scripts. You have been given a scene from Oliver Twist which you need to read through. Then you have some questions to answer. 1 star is easier, 2 stars is slightly harder and 3 stars is more of a challenge. Choose the comprehension most appropriate for you. The answers are provided but feel free to send them to me too.

Task 4: Creative Writing- Play script writing

Have a go at writing your own play script scene. I’d like your play to be set during the Second World War and I’d like you to have at least 3 different characters (but no more than 6). Can you try and include some historically accurate details to show your understanding of the time period? Perhaps your play will be set during the Blitz or the Battle of Britain. Or maybe your characters will be evacuees. Use the features of a play script checklist to help you. I have included an example of two scenes from a play called ‘The Evacuees’. If you’re stuck and are finding it difficult to make up your own play from scratch, continue ‘The Evacuees’ and think about what might happen next. Sorry if they are a bit hard to read- my scanner broke so I had to take photos of the pages instead!

 

Other tasks

 

Geography- The Water Cycle

We have already had a brief look at the water cycle during our Literacy lessons before Easter, but this week we are going to look at it in a bit more detail. Here is a reminder of the video we used to help us learn about the water cycle (it is quite catchy so sorry parents!): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWb4KlM2vts

Go through the PowerPoint and then complete the activity sheet. Add colour to the diagram if you’d like!

If you’d like, you can try this optional experiment where you can make a water cycle in a bag! https://www.mobileedproductions.com/blog/how-to-make-a-water-cycle-in-a-bag

 

RE- Hinduism

This week we are going to look at some places that are special to Hindus. Go through the PowerPoint ‘Special Places’ and then have a go at the activity sheet where you compare Hindu places of worship.

Then I would like you to write about somewhere that is special to you. Can you describe it and explain why it a special place? You can include a picture or a drawing. You can do this in your lined book.

 

ICT- Purple Mash 2Animate
This week on Purple Mash, one of your tasks is 2Animate. You are going to use the program to create animated scenes by repeating and changing images on a storyboard. There is a ‘how to’ video you can watch to help you understand how to use 2Animate (next to the red exit button).

 

French- Colours

https://www.french-games.net/frenchlessons?topic=Colours&level=primary

Click on the link which will take you to the French Games website.  Start off by clicking on the ‘Full Tutorial- All activities’ button. This will take you through a series of different activities that will help you learn the names of the colours in French. Once you’ve worked your way through the activities and have spent some time practising, you can have a go at some of the games. There are loads of types of games you can play, including hangman, four in a row and mix and match! Then there is a chance for you to test your knowledge to see how much you can remember!

Purple Mash

There will be some activities for you to complete on Purple Mash. Log in and go to ‘2Dos’ and complete the tasks that have been set. I will be able to see how you got on once you’ve finished.

 

Physical Activity
Make up your own workout! If you want to, record yourself so that others can copy your workout (a bit like Joe Wicks!). If you’d prefer, you can write your workout out on paper.

Make sure you try and get outside for a little bit each day. Go on a morning walk or do some exercises in your garden. Fresh air is really important!

 

Don’t forget to spend some time every day reading and practising your times tables. You can complete the Daily 10 everyday too https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/daily10

 

If you’d like to continue keeping up to date with the news, watch the daily and weekly news on Espresso (weekly news updated every Thursday). Newsround is also another good one to look at https://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround

Speak to you soon,
