French numbers.

We are now on to numbers 50-70. Again, some more EPIC songs to help us learn and remember them. Look out for more patterns in the numbers and keep making links to the smaller numbers. If you want to learn numbers in a different language, go ahead!

 

main task

Yesterday we were introduced to some of the characters in the book holes, which was made into a film in 2003. The book has a slightly different start, focusing more on different parts and different characters, although the overall storyline is the same.

We are going to read this book together as a class novel. I will upload a few pages everyday. If you miss some, you can just go back to the previous blog and get the pictures and catch up. Take some time every day to read this book and help you work on your fluency and understanding. Some days, there will be work specifically set on thsi book.

Read the following pages from the start of the Holes story and rewatch the start of the movie.

 

What parts are the same?

What parts are different?

What is in the movie that isn’t in the book?

What is in the book that isn’t in the movie?

Which characters are most focused on in the book?

Which characters are most focused on in the movie?

 

 

Maths

 

Today is the weekly sumdog competition. It starts at 11am. You need to click on competition at the side or else, your answers won’t be included in the leader board.

If you are having any problems getting into the competition, just let me know!

Here is a maths comprehension if you would like some written maths instead. Remember to read the main paragraph at least twice and take some notes about the numbers and people involved to help you with the questions.

 

HWB

Mrs McMillan has set up a youtube channel for relaxation – it’s called “TAKE A MOMENT WITH MRS MCMILLAN”

She has some videos up about breathing at the moment that you might enjoy. Check them out.

Here are the correct version of this week’s spelling words

accommodation, achieve, business, conscious, existence, immediately knowledge, occurred, separate, tomorrow.

You have many options to practice them today – write them out, type them, paint them, draw them, dance them, write a song for them, hunt for them in a book.

 

French

Today is numbers 21-50 and there is another EPIC song

 

Watch and revise these numbers. You should notice some patterns such as using numbers 1-9 over and over again, and the use of the word “et” for and.

Can you create your own French (or another language) song to help us remember the numbers? Send me any you make.

 

Main task

 

Comprehension – remember what we have learned about finding answers by scanning for key words, writing in full answers with words from the question and using “quotes” from the text to prove what you are saying.

Today’s comprehension is about a cooking recipe for “spuds”.

After, why not have a go at cooking the recipe.

We are going to start a new class reading book called “holes”. Watch this short video and then tomorrow, we will read this part of the book together and compare and contrast them.

you could take notes about what happens in the video

maths

Daily 10 – have a go at some daily 10 challenges. You could try one topic and start at level 1 and see how far up the levels you can get. Or you could choose one topic and level and start with a long period of time and make the time per question shorter and shorter to see how quickly you can do it.

 

Fractions work

 

The bottom number in a fraction shows how many the whole thing is cut up into. For example, if the bottom number is a 3, that means that the whole thing (e.g. pizza, number, distance) has been cut into 3.

The top number tells you how many pieces you have. For example, 1/3 means that the whole thing has been cut into 3 pieces and that you have 1 of them. 2/3 means you have two of them and 3/3 means you have 3 (all) of them.

If you have done this Fractions work before, here is a separate worksheet!

 

***Don’t forget about tomorrow’s sumdog competition at 11am. Who is going to win this week?***

This week’s spelling words are words that are commonly misspelled. There are two options – guess which one you think is correct and then check them to see if you are correct. You can check using the internet or a dictionary. Test someone else at home or test your friends to see if they can spell them correctly!

accommodation     or             accomodation

        achieve           or                     acheive

buisness                   or                     business

conscious                 or                     concious

existance         or             existence

immediately           or             immediatly

knowlege                or             knowledge

occurred          or             occured

seperate          or             separate

tomorrow                or             tommorrow

 

You can also write each word out and write the rule for that word e.g. 2 Cs, 1 M, no e

This week, we will revise numbers in French, or another language if you want to learn.

Start with 0-20. This song is EPIC. We all know it and love it. Give it a listen, then try a French numbers game.

Main task

Today, we are going revise some punctuation. Inverted commas are also called speech marks. Inverted means turned inside out or turned backwards.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zmwqtfr/articles/zbkkkmn

Watch these videos and then try the task. You can then open a reading book and have a look at how the author uses speech marks. Sometimes they break up the sentences with words between the speech, even though the person is speaking in one continuous sentence.

For example

“Quickly” Mum said “before it gets dark”.

 

We are also working on reading for an extended period of time. This will be particularly useful during lockdown as it takes your mind off other things. Why not try and read your favourite book/magazine/website for 20 minutes today without getting distracted.

 

Maths

 

Remember the nrich factors game? This really helps us to understand multiplying, dividing and number patterns. Have 5 goes and see how long a chain you can make. ***don’t google answers!***

We are going to recap some information on fractions which we started a few weeks ago.

A fraction is a piece of something, just like a decimal. It is a number which is between 0 and 1.

However, unlike a decimal, a fraction can also be a whole number – this is when the top number (numerator) and bottom number (denominator) are the same.

e.g. 2/2            4/4           7/7           100/100

 

This website is excellent at explaining what a fraction is and each page has 10 questions at the bottom. Read through the website and try the questions to check your understanding.

Spelling test – get someone at home or contact someone from the class and test them on this week’s spelling words.

Get someone to test yourself.

Main task

Read the following passage about Earthworms.

 

We focus and work very hard on writing detailed, full answers for comprehension, however, for this, you only need to write short answers that have the correct detail. Don’t worry about words from the question, just find the correct answer and write that. It’s good practice, because sometimes you need to do this.

complete the comprehension questions.

Money game – great job this week. One more money game to try.
