Week 8 – Maths

Pages are a bit out of order to make sure tasks match as best as possible.

Remember the Extensions are optional for those who fly through the main task.

Please remember to only complete the pages listed within each lesson.

We have covered this work in class but not as much as we have on other areas, so I have provided a PowerPoint with a brief run through of each part. I have used different colours for different days so it should be easy to work through.

If you are struggling, please email and I should be able to put together something to help specifics.

Comprehension

Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling

Session 1

SPAG – James and Giant Peach - Editing and Handwriting.

This task MUST be done by hand, not on the computer.

Read through the passages, edit them (use the checklist to guide you) and then rewrite one in your best handwriting.

This is an opportunity to practice the skills we have used many times over the year.

Session 2

Holes Chapters 9-10 (Listen to/read the chapters)

In chapter 9, Stanley starts his letter home. He then hides it in his stationery box, unfinished.

I want you to write the letter to his family (plan it today then write it tomorrow) as if you were Stanley.

First, map out the events that have happened to Stanley since he left home.

Think about what he may have seen, done or felt in that time.

Use the template to help.

When Stanley started his letter, he was not telling the truth because he didn’t want his Mum to worry.

You need to decide if you are going to continue like he has or tell them the truth.

If you decide to tell them the truth you will use your notes of what he has done so far.

If you decide to stop mum from worrying, then I am setting you a challenge. You need to write about what Stanley has done but edit it to sound like it is fun.

So instead of a bus ride hand-cuffed to the rail…maybe you had private transport with a personal butler (instead of a guard?)

Session 3 / 4

Holes Chapters 9-10 (Listen to/read the chapters)

Use yesterday’s plans to write your letter (as Stanley).

Use the letter PowerPoint to help you lay it out.

The checklist is in the PowerPoint as well.

I expect all letters to include at least 4 things that Stanley (you) have done, emotions and future plans.

It should not be a postcard. Meaning it should have plenty of content. Remember you (Stanley) are only writing home once a week so make sure you tell Mum everything.

You MUST write in the first person

You SHOULD use informal language and varying sentence styles.

You COULD use paragraphs

You may need a longer session (or split it over two days) to write a good letter. Especially if you want to proof-read, edit and improve your writing.

MR FREEMAN’S RIDDLE OF THE WEEK

I am young when I am tall and I am old when I am short. What am I?

ANSWERS:

A worker in the butchers is 162cm tall. What does she weigh? MEAT

Also please remember to:

• Read EVERY day. I suggest at least 35minutes and that should include reading aloud.
• Exercise regularly – dog-walks, trampolining, bike rides or creating your own dances are all vital!
• Practice spellings – still working from the whole term list I sent at the start of term (another copy is attached)
• Talk and be open with each other. This could be a very tricky time and I want you all to be happy and healthy when I next see you. Make sure you don’t bottle too much up and you talk if you have any concerns.

Watch the news (optional) Espresso or BBC Newsround are great ways of seeing what is going on.
